The Tempest MT280 Direct Drive Gas Powered Blower is engineered to deliver powerful positive pressure ventilation (PPV) for residential, commercial, and industrial firefighting operations. Featuring Leader's innovative EASY POW'AIR® Technology, the MT280 produces a concentrated, high-velocity air stream that entrains surrounding air to significantly increase airflow while maintaining exceptional efficiency over extended setback distances. This focused airflow creates additional working space at entry points, allowing fire crews to operate more safely and effectively during ventilation operations.
Powered by a dependable Honda® GX390 four-stroke gasoline engine, the MT280 delivers an impressive 50,150 CFM of open-air airflow while incorporating an automatic low-oil shutdown system for added engine protection. The automatic tilt mechanism allows firefighters to quickly position the fan for optimal airflow, and the lightweight yet rugged design provides outstanding portability for rapid deployment. Designed for versatility, the MT280 is compatible with a wide range of optional accessories, including spiral ducting, misting systems, exhaust extensions, protective covers, a -10° prop for basement ventilation, and a high-expansion foam adapter.
Ideal for single-door residential structures, commercial buildings, and medium-sized industrial facilities, the MT280 combines dependable Honda power with advanced airflow technology to provide exceptional ventilation performance in demanding emergency response environments.
