Overview
An HVLS fan moves a large column of air slowly across the floor, which is what a heat plan needs at a dock or an open bay where air conditioning is not practical. In winter the same fan pushes warm air down from the ceiling. Quoted by diameter and mounting height with the controller and the structural mount, and bundled with a cool-down room as a complete heat plan.
