OVERVIEW

Struggling to Move Air in Big Spaces? This 84″ Cradle Mount 115V Belt-Drive Drum Fan Creates Steady, Far-Reaching Airflow

If you’re considering a 84-inch fan, chances are you’re dealing with heat that doesn’t move, air that feels heavy, or a space that’s simply too large for standard fans to handle. The Gentle Breeze – 84″ HVLS-Class Fan from Triangle Engineering is built for that exact problem. This industrial drum fan is designed to move a massive amount of air across wide, open areas where comfort cooling and general ventilation actually matter.

With airflow up to 47,500 CFM at just 220 RPM, this fan creates a steady, far-reaching stream of air rather than a loud, short-range blast. That matters in warehouses, factories, and high-bay workshops where heat settles along long aisles, loading docks, and production lines. Instead of standing in one cool spot, workers feel consistent airflow across the floor, which makes the space feel noticeably cooler—even without air conditioning.

The low-speed, belt-drive design is a big part of why this unit works so well. By turning large blades slowly, the fan moves high volumes of air while keeping noise and vibration in check. At roughly 60 dB at 20 feet, it stays quiet enough for active work environments where people need to talk, hear equipment, and stay focused. It’s a more comfortable solution than running several smaller, high-speed fans all day.

Power and installation stay simple, too. The 115V single-phase motor allows this barrel fan to plug into standard electrical service, which is especially useful in older buildings or temporary setups. Facilities don’t need to add special circuits just to get meaningful airflow, making this fan a practical option for both permanent and semi-portable use.

The cradle-mount configuration allows airflow to be aimed exactly where it’s needed—shipping lanes, welding areas, packing stations, or congested work zones. Many facilities use this type of fan alongside HVLS ceiling fans to keep air moving throughout the building, then rely on targeted industrial ventilation fans to push air through high-heat or stagnant areas on the floor.

If you’re searching for a drum fan that can move air over long distances, reduce heat stress, and improve overall air quality in large spaces, this 84-inch unit is built for that job. It’s straightforward, durable, and designed to run all shift—because in industrial environments, airflow isn’t a luxury. It’s a necessity.

SPECIFICATIONS

FEATURES

• Massive 84″ Diameter with Long-Throw Airflow
  The oversized 84-inch barrel moves up to 47,500 CFM and delivers a focused stream of air up to 150 feet, making it ideal for long aisles, loading docks, production lines, and wide-open floor areas where smaller fans fall short.

• Low-Speed, Belt-Drive Design for Quieter Operation
  Running at just 220 RPM, the belt-drive system moves high volumes of air without the harsh noise common to smaller, high-speed fans. At approximately 60 dBA at 20 feet, it stays quiet enough for conversation and daily operations.

• 115V Single-Phase, Plug-and-Play Power
  Designed for real facilities, this fan operates on standard 115V single-phase power and includes a 20-foot molded power cord, allowing quick setup without special electrical drops or three-phase service.

• ±90° Adjustable Cradle Mount for Targeted Airflow
  The cradle-mount frame allows the fan to tilt up to 90 degrees, so airflow can be aimed precisely at work zones, heat buildup areas, or ventilation paths—rather than wasting air where it’s not needed.

• Heavy-Duty Continuous-Duty Construction
  Built for all-shift operation, the fan features a TEFC motor, belt drive, and rugged components rated for continuous duty, making it suitable for demanding warehouse, factory, and industrial environments.

• Durable Powder-Coated Steel Frame
  The steel housing and frame are powder-coated to resist corrosion, wear, and impact, helping the fan hold up in dirty, hot, or high-traffic spaces where lighter-duty units don’t last.

• OSHA-Compliant Woven Mesh Safety Guards
  Full OSHA-compliant guards protect personnel while allowing unrestricted airflow—an important consideration for facilities with safety audits, active forklifts, or frequent foot traffic.
