HBD Series Heavy-Duty Cradle-Mounted Belt-Driven Portable Barrel Fans
The HBD Series combines the high-airflow performance of a heavy-duty belt-driven portable barrel fan with the added control of a cradle-mounted pivoting barrel. Designed for industrial environments where directional airflow is critical, HBD models allow precise aiming of high-volume air movement while maintaining full-service belt-drive construction.
Available in 36″, 42″, and 48″ diameters, HBD models deliver up to 19,460 CFM with horsepower options from ½ HP to 1 HP. Deep-pitch blades maximize air delivery, while rubber isolated bearings reduce vibration transfer and support long-term durability.
Mounted on a heavy-gauge cradle frame, the barrel tilts up or down a full 90° and locks securely in position using a positive tilt-lock knob, allowing airflow to be directed toward ceilings, workstations, equipment, or targeted areas.
- High-volume airflow – up to 19,460 CFM
- Heavy-gauge cradle mount – supports a pivoting barrel for directional airflow
- Tilts up or down 90° with positive tilt lock – secure and precise airflow control
- Full-service belt-drive construction – engineered for long-term maintainability
- Heavy-gauge painted steel barrel – built for demanding industrial environments
- Roll-formed “ogee” barrel profile – increases rigidity and resists deformation
- Automatic belt tensioner (standard on ½ HP and ¾ HP models) – reduces routine adjustment
- Rubber isolated bearings – reduce vibration transfer and protect structural components
- Deep-pitch blades – maximize air delivery
- Large no-flat wheels (standard) – durable transport across industrial and jobsite surfaces
- OSHA spiral-wound guards – safety and strength combined
- Factory-stocked replacement parts – motors, blades, guards, and wheels ship quickly

Select HBD Series models are available with hazardous location–rated motor configurations.
These models are supplied with motors rated for:
- Class I, Division 1, Group D
- Class II, Groups F & G
The hazardous location rating applies to the motor. System suitability for specific classified environments should be reviewed by the specifying engineer or authority having jurisdiction.
Hazardous location configurations include:
- Single-speed hazardous location motor
- Stationary motor mount
- Aluminum blade
- No wiring or switch
- Directed spot cooling in warehouses and manufacturing plants
- Equipment cooling and process airflow
- High-bay destratification
- Agricultural and grain handling facilities
- Industrial maintenance operations
- Hazardous location motor applications
The HBD Series delivers the performance of a heavy-duty belt-driven portable barrel fan with the added flexibility of directional airflow control. The cradle-mounted pivoting barrel allows airflow to be aimed precisely where it is needed, improving cooling efficiency and air distribution.
Built with industrial-grade components, vibration-isolated bearings, and large no-flat wheels, HBD fans are engineered for demanding environments where durability and control matter.
Every unit ships fully assembled and performance tested. The heavy-gauge steel barrel and roll-formed ogee profile provide structural strength that supports long-term durability in high-use industrial environments. Fully supported with factory-stocked replacement parts, HBD fans are designed to be maintained, not replaced.
Built in the USA with a blend of domestic and foreign components, the HBD Series reflects Triangle Engineering’s commitment to durable, serviceable industrial airflow solutions.
