Hire a heavy-duty industrial cooling fan from Hirelink to shift large volumes of air in warehouses, garages, workshops, basements, and on-site cabins. We hire the Ventisol G-24SDF, a 24-inch drum fan with three speed settings, tilt adjustment, and smooth-rolling castors. Daily, weekly, and long-term hire is available. We deliver across Birmingham, Wolverhampton, Lichfield, Sutton Coldfield, Aldridge, and the wider Midlands from our four local depots.
The Cost
Hirelink hires cooling fans in a range of sizes and airflow capacities on a weekly basis. Contact the team or request a quote to confirm available units and pricing for your location across the Midlands.
The Reason
Our fan hire is the Ventisol G-24SDF, a proper industrial drum fan built to move serious volumes of air. This isn’t an oscillating pedestal fan from a high street shop. It’s the kind of unit warehouses and workshops put in when they need real airflow across a large space.
Three speed settings let you match the airflow to the job, from a steady background draught to full blast for hot summer days. The fan head tilts so you can direct air where it’s needed, whether that’s across a workshop floor or up onto a mezzanine.
Smooth-rolling castors mean one person can move the fan around site without lifting. Useful when you need to follow the work, dry out a damp area, or shift the fan to a different bay between tasks.
Hirelink operates from four depots: Sutton Coldfield, Lichfield, Aldridge, and near Birmingham Airport. Collect from your nearest depot or have the fan delivered straight to your site or warehouse.
Hire a fan for a single hot day, a few weeks of a summer heatwave, or a longer project where cooling or air movement is needed throughout. Hire periods are flexible so you only pay for the time you need the kit.
Every fan is checked, cleaned, and PAT tested between hires. It arrives with a standard 240V plug and is ready to go as soon as it’s on site. RCD breakers and extension leads can be added to your hire if you need them.
The Return
Hirelink’s cooling fan hire gives you a heavy-duty Ventisol drum fan designed to move large volumes of air across warehouses, factories, workshops, garages, basements, and large work cabins. It’s a single tool that solves several problems at once: cooling hot working areas, improving ventilation, drying out damp spaces after a leak, and reducing heat build-up around machinery.
Our fans are 24-inch Ventisol G-24SDF drum fans. The metal-built housing is set in a tilting frame on castors, so the fan can be wheeled into position and the head angled wherever you need the air. Three speed settings give you control over airflow without wasting power on jobs that only need a light breeze. The fan runs on a standard 240V supply, which means no special site setup or transformer needed.
Industrial drum fans like this one are a different category from the pedestal or tower fans you’d buy for a home or office. They’re built for continuous duty cycles, harsh environments, and the kind of airflow you can’t get from a domestic fan no matter how high you crank it. That’s what makes them the right hire for trade and commercial use.
Hiring works out far cheaper than buying for occasional or seasonal needs. A new industrial fan of this spec costs several hundred pounds, plus storage space for the eight months a year you’re not using it. For summer cooling, drying jobs, or temporary ventilation, hire makes more sense.
The Difference
Heavy-duty, metal-built, designed for industrial and trade use. Moves large volumes of air across big spaces. Sits low on castors with a tilting head. Built for continuous running. 240V mains powered. The right choice for warehouses, workshops, and commercial sites.
Lighter plastic or metal frame, designed for offices and homes. Limited airflow at distance. Not built for continuous heavy-duty cycles. Fine for a desk or a small room, but not enough for a warehouse or a 100-square-metre workshop.
A drum fan moves air, it doesn’t actually cool the air. Portable AC chills the air temperature but covers a smaller area and uses much more power. For ventilation, circulation, and broad-area cooling effect, the drum fan is more efficient. For sealed rooms where you need to drop the actual temperature, look at portable AC.
Fans cool by moving air across skin and surfaces. Heaters do the opposite. If you need both (cooling in summer, heating in winter), Hirelink can hire cabinet heaters, fan heaters, and convector heaters from the same Heating, Cooling & Drying category.
The Logistics
Hirelink delivers cooling fans from four Midlands depots located in Sutton Coldfield, Lichfield, Aldridge, and near Birmingham Airport. Together, these depots cover the full West Midlands region and large parts of Staffordshire.
Delivery and collection is available with every hire. Areas served include Birmingham, Wolverhampton, Coventry, Walsall, West Bromwich, Solihull, Tamworth, Burton upon Trent, Cannock, Stafford, and the surrounding towns and villages across the Midlands. The fans roll on castors so they’re easy to position once delivered.

Your industrial fan arrives PAT tested and ready to plug into a standard 240V socket. Position it, set the speed, tilt the head where you need the air, and it’s running. Return it on your agreed collection date.
FAQs
Cooling fan hire prices depend on how long you need the fan. Daily rates suit single hot days or short jobs, while weekly hire works out cheaper per day for longer use. For multi-week or seasonal hire over the summer, ask about long-term rates. Call Hirelink or use the Add to Quote button on this page for current pricing.
A 24-inch industrial drum fan like the Ventisol G-24SDF can move air across a workshop, warehouse bay, or large open space, with noticeable airflow up to roughly 15 to 20 metres away depending on obstructions. For very large warehouses or multi-bay industrial units, two or more fans positioned to push air through the space work better than one. The team can advise on what you need.
A cooling fan moves air, it doesn’t change the air temperature. The cooling effect comes from evaporation as the air moves over skin and surfaces. Air conditioning physically chills the air by removing heat. Fans are far more efficient and cover larger areas. AC is the right choice when you need to drop the actual room temperature in a sealed space.
Yes. The G-24SDF is built for industrial settings. The metal housing and full safety guard protect the fan blade in busy workspaces. It runs on a standard 240V supply, which works with most commercial premises without any special wiring. If your site uses 110V only, talk to the team about a transformer or an alternative fan.
Yes. Hirelink offers daily and weekend hire on the Ventisol cooling fan. Daily hire suits one-off hot days, short events, or a one-off drying job. For anything longer than two or three days, weekly hire is usually better value.
The Ventisol G-24SDF is our standard cooling fan hire. If you need something different (a larger drum fan, a smaller portable fan, an axial fan for ductwork, or a fan with a higher IP rating for outdoor use) give the team a call. We can advise on what’s available or point you toward a more suitable hire.
Yes. Cooling fans are a common summer hire for warehouses, distribution centres, marquees, function rooms, exhibition stands, and any space without air conditioning that gets uncomfortable in hot weather. Book early in summer; fans go quickly during heatwaves.
The Ventisol G-24SDF runs on a standard 240V three-pin plug, so no special wiring is needed. For site use, building regs and Hirelink’s own safety guidance recommend using an RCD breaker between the fan and the mains supply, especially in damp or outdoor conditions. We hire RCD breakers and extension leads alongside the fan if you need them.
An industrial drum fan is louder than a domestic pedestal fan because of the volume of air it’s moving. The Ventisol G-24SDF runs at three speeds, so you can drop it to medium or low if noise is an issue. For environments where quiet operation is critical (offices, customer-facing spaces), talk to the team about quieter cooling options.
Hirelink delivers from four depots across the Midlands, so most West Midlands and Staffordshire postcodes are well covered. During summer heatwaves, demand spikes and lead times can extend, so book ahead if you know you’ll need cooling. Call 0121 355 2626 to confirm availability for your dates.
Hirelink is a Midlands-based hire company with four depots covering Birmingham and Staffordshire. Unlike national hire chains, we focus on local service, with a team that knows the region and can offer direct advice on the right fan for your job. For trade and commercial customers across the West Midlands, that local knowledge usually means faster delivery and more direct support when something needs sorting.
For most hires we’ll need photo ID (driving licence or passport), proof of address dated within the last three months, and a small refundable deposit. Trade customers with an account just need to confirm the booking. If you’re hiring on behalf of a company, bring something with the company name on it as well.
