New Powr-Flite F5 Axial Fan and Wheels Air Mover
Our Take (from the SES Sales Team)
“Restoration techs move a lot of air movers in and out of buildings, and a 37 lb fan gets heavy by the tenth trip up the driveway. The PDF5DX is Powr-Flite's F5 axial fan with a handle and wheels added, so it rolls like a carry-on suitcase instead of being carried. Everything else is the F5: 3,000 CFM of airflow from a 2-speed, 1/4 hp motor, with only a 2.2 amp draw. Built-in GFCI outlets let you daisy chain up to five F5 fans into one standard 15 amp wall outlet, which means fewer blown circuits and fewer cords to run on a big job. The fan works in multiple drying positions, so you can aim it across carpet and padding, at walls and ceilings, or into closets, cabinets and attics. The roto-molded polyethylene housing stands up to daily restoration use. Powr-Flite pitches it for carpets, rugs, subfloors, drywall, furniture and draperies, anywhere you need high-speed drying. If your crews rarely move fans far, the standard PDF5 without wheels does the same drying work.”
