The Tempest Direct Drive Briggs & Stratton Engine Gas Powered Fan delivers the reliability, power, and performance firefighters depend on for positive pressure ventilation (PPV) and positive pressure attack (PPA). Proudly made in the USA, this direct-drive ventilation fan combines a rugged welded steel frame, advanced AirFlex® composite impeller technology, and a dependable Briggs & Stratton® OHV gasoline engine to provide exceptional airflow, durability, and ease of operation in demanding emergency response environments.
Designed for maximum efficiency, the fan is available with 16", 18", 21", or 24" AirFlex® fiberglass-reinforced polyamide composite impellers that maximize air volume, velocity, and pressure. Unlike traditional metal blades, the composite impeller is engineered to safely disintegrate upon impact, reducing the risk of hazardous fragmentation. The Turbo 2000 shroud further enhances airflow velocity by up to 30%, while the welded steel roll cage frame increases strength, protects critical components, and eliminates maintenance associated with loose hardware.
Built for everyday firefighting operations, the fan features an ergonomic frame with strategically placed carrying handles, a foldable full-width handle for transport and storage, dual-step foot-operated tilt adjustment from -5° to +15°, durable 8" non-pneumatic wheels, anti-vibration rubber feet, and reinforced front and rear safety grilles that meet European CE safety standards.
