HVLS fans for warehouses
For distribution centres, fulfillment centres, manufacturing floors, loading docks and chilled storage.
We're based in Toronto, Ontario, and supply GALE Series fans to warehouses across Canada.
A warehouse with high ceilings has two problems. In winter the heat you pay for collects at the roof. In summer the floor gets hot and the air sits still. A GALE Series HVLS fan deals with both. It moves a large column of air slowly, so one fan can do the work of dozens of small ones.
Winter: keep the heat where your people are
Warm air rises. In a building with 30 ft ceilings, the air at the roof can be much warmer than the air at floor level, where your team works and your thermostat reads. The heaters keep running to warm the floor while the heat collects overhead.
A GALE Series fan running at low speed pushes that warm air back down and mixes it evenly through the space. The floor stays at temperature with less heating, and the higher the ceiling, the bigger the difference.
Ontario warehouses heated by natural gas may qualify for $3,000 to $4,000 per fan through Enbridge Gas.

Summer: steady airflow on the floor
In warm months the fan runs faster and sends a wide, gentle flow of air across the floor. Moving air makes the space feel cooler for the people working in it, without the noise and gusts of floor fans. GALE Series fans create a cooling effect of up to 8°C in warm conditions. They also clear the dead zones between racking, so there is no corner of the building where the air just sits.
What that means for energy costs: 25 to 49% lower cooling costs, and 20 to 30% lower heating costs. Each fan draws between 0.5 and 1.8 kW.

Sizing a warehouse fan layout
No two warehouses are the same, so we don't sell from a chart. We size each layout from your building:
Ceiling height and roof structure, which set the fan size and how it is mounted
Floor area and bay layout, which set how many fans you need
Racking, lights and cranes, which set where fans can go
Dock doors and heating layout, which affect how air moves through the space

Either way, you deal with one team from the first site visit to the final check.
How a project works
Site assessment
We look at your floor area, ceiling height, supply voltage, heating system and how the space is used.
Fan selection and layout
We match the GALE Series model and drive to your building and plan where each fan goes.
Proposal
You get a clear proposal with the layout, equipment and installation. For Ontario projects that qualify, the Enbridge incentive is confirmed before you receive it.
Supply and installation
We handle shipping and coordinate the installation with you so it fits around your operation.
Follow-up
We check in at 7 days and again at 1 year to make sure everything is running as it should.
Where we work

Warehouse HVLS fan FAQs
They push the warm air that collects at the ceiling back down and mix the full air column. Temperatures even out from floor to ceiling and the heating system doesn't have to work as hard.
It depends on floor area, ceiling height and what is in the way, like racking and lights. One G-7.3E covers up to 21,500 sq ft in open space. Racking and obstructions reduce that, which is why we plan every layout from your building.
Our 24 ft fans mount from 23 ft up to 66 ft, depending on the model. Smaller models suit ceilings from 16 ft. The table above shows the range for each warehouse model.
No. GALE Series fans run at 38 dB or less, quieter than a normal conversation. The large blades turn slowly, so they move a lot of air without the noise of high-speed fans.
Yes. GALE Series fans are rated to operate down to -10°C, which covers coolers and chilled storage. They are not rated for frozen storage.
In Ontario, warehouses heated by natural gas may qualify for $3,000 to $4,000 per fan through Enbridge Gas.
