Materials of Construction

Standard material is 5052 H32 Aluminum because it is resistant to corrosion, lightweight, and it looks awesome.

Structural units utilize 3″ Square tube and we use 4″ Square tube for heavy snow and wind loads.

Stainless Steel is available in Type 304 or Type 316.

• Aluminum
• Stainless Steel
• Structural Steel
• Galvanized Steel
• Mild Steel – Painted
• Aluminum Diamond Plate
• Powder Coating

This beauty is constructed from 304 Stainless with all stainless hardware for an extremely corrosive environment.

Shipping and Installation

Most units ship fully assembled on a skid via LTL truck. Larger units ship via Flatbed assembled or un-assembled in minimal panels (installation manual included). We are happy to use your logistics company or we can quote shipping fees.

Installation is fast and easy. Simply forklift the unit over your equipment, anchor to the floor or base, have a certified electrician wire your fan, and cut open the EPDM pass-throughs for your piping.
