At Industrial Fans Direct, we've spent 20+ years helping businesses turn warm air into cold air when temperatures climb. We've carefully selected five powerful commercial cooling units that bring instant relief exactly where you need it.

From evaporative coolers to industrial drum fans, these robust portable solutions fight heat directly so you can maintain productivity and keep equipment running without interruption. 

Ready to discover which spot cooler fits your space?

Perfect for: The Portacool Apex 2000 excels at cooling large indoor and outdoor areas up to 2000 square feet. These units use water's natural cooling properties to lower air temperature by up to 20 degrees, performing especially well in commercial spaces with dry climates.

This evaporative cooler is light and portable, yet tough and built to last. It features proprietary Cool Snyc technology that allows you to control all the features directly from an app. You can adjust fan speeds, temperature settings, monitor water levels, be alerted of any malfunctions, and you can even control multiple units at once.

Recommended accessories: Protect your investment with a tough, form-fitting cover when not in use. 

Perfect for: This KwiKool iceberg 1.5 ton portable air conditioner serves your data centers, warehouse, server room or anywhere demanding powerful, dry, reliable cooling. This unit drops air temperature up to 20 degrees, effectively cooling people or equipment within a 7-foot radius.

This portable AC unit is a quick cooling solution with its "plug and play" technology that tops the competition with its small size, strong air flow, and easy installation.  It runs on a standard 115V outlet and has a self contained condensate tank that shuts off when it needs to be emptied. Easy, reliable and effective, the perfect solution for cooling your space.

Recommended accessories: A ceiling duct kit is required for installation and helps vent the hot, recycled air out of your cooling zone. 

Perfect for: These portable cooling fans create instant relief stations for special events, warehouses, greenhouses, factories, or personal use areas where a cooling mist makes all the difference.

Large pneumatic tires and the ability to fold down make these units easy to transport to wherever you need to provide a cooling mist. A large 22-gallon tank and independently controllable mist nozzles provide up to 8 hours of operation. A totally enclosed, maintenance-free motor provides long-lasting, reliable performance and is covered by a 1-year warranty. These units ship fully assembled so you can unpack, fill with water, and be ready to go in no time. 

Recommended accessories: These units come with everything needed. We recommend a heavy-duty, 12-gauge extension cord in your required length to position the unit precisely where cooling is most needed.

Perfect for: This versatile unit delivers portable spot cooler performance for production lines, schools, gyms, offices or warehouses. It's like opening a new window of fresh air in any space that needs immediate cooling.

Pedestal fans are ideal for providing a quick solution to everyday airflow problems. They are great for spot cooling due to the adjustable height and direction, allowing you to direct airflow precisely where it’s needed. Their size also makes them easy to move between rooms or spaces, providing flexibility in cooling specific areas. The unit also comes with a 9-foot-long cord, so they can be positioned almost anywhere.

Recommended accessories: This model ships with everything needed and is easy to set up. It’s adjustable from 43” to 60”, and oscillates so moving the unit regularly is optional, not required.

Perfect for: Air-cooled spot coolers like the Heat Buster line tackle challenging environments in expansive areas like loading docks, aircraft hangars, shops, or bakeries where serious airflow is non-negotiable.

The Heat Buster is built for durability and performance. Its rugged, industrial design ensures effectiveness even in challenging environments. The fan's easy portability is enhanced by a full-width grip handle and tough, rubber tread wheels, making it simple to move and position where needed. 

Recommended accessories: This unit arrives ready to operate with all necessary components. The 10-ft grounded cord and molded plug provide safety and convenience, while the spiral-wound wire guard meets OSHA standards for workplace safety.
