THE MOST ADVANCED BARREL FAN EVER CREATED

Built to deliver mobile comfort to virtually any space, Sidekick is your facility’s best choice for immediate airflow on the go. Its six-blade design and permanent-magnet motor move more air than any barrel fan on the market with class-leading energy efficiency and the quietest sound level.

Lightweight and impact-resistant, Sidekick offers optimum maneuverability with two locking swivel casters, a large handle, and convenient 12-foot power cord. At 4 feet wide, Sidekick is sized just right for the power you need and easy to store when not in use.

SUPERIOR PERFORMANCE STARTS WITH SUPERIOR DESIGN

MORE AIRFLOW, LESS ENERGY

Smaller, lighter, and more powerful than any other fan motor in its class
Brushless DC motor design further reduces friction and energy loss
100% passive cooling keeps operating temperature low and efficiency high

QUIET BY DESIGN

Sidekick’s smooth, quiet operation is no accident. We engineered the fan with a vented shroud to reduce noise, and its six-blade design provides consistent airflow with none of the choppy sound common to three-bladed fans.

BUILT LIKE NO OTHER

Features such as a patented airfoil system, variable speed direct-drive motor, and impact-resistant frame are what set Sidekick apart from the barrel fans of yesteryear.

THE OTHER GUYS

Best-in-class air movement

With airflow that simply blows away its nearest competitors, Sidekick offers power where it counts, delivering up to 15,000 cubic feet of air per minute.

All bark and no breeze

With choppy airflow that pales in comparison to Sidekick’s power and coverage area, other fans just aren’t up to the task.

Leading efficiency

More airflow, less energy? Check and check. Sidekick nearly doubles the efficiency of the closest runner-up.

Less bang for your buck

Most barrel fans can’t muster half of Sidekick’s efficiency. What’s all that energy wasted on? A motor that adds heat into your space.

Superior sound level

Sidekick’s direct-drive motor and vented shroud revolutionize barrel fan technology with performance that won’t kill your conversation or your focus.

Heavy metal sound

Why endure the jet engine-level noise of the average barrel fan just for a little airflow? With Sidekick’s low-noise operation, your days of air traffic control are behind you.

Unmatched versatility

With a lightweight, portable design, wet-rated IPX5 direct-drive motor, two voltage options, and a frame that’s built to withstand even the harshest industrial abuse, Sidekick tackles tough jobs in any space.

A real drag

Ordinary barrel fans use a heavy two-wheel design that has to be laboriously tilted and towed. Wrapped with simple sheet metal, they show every nick and ding, and don’t even think about hosing them down when they’re dirty.

More extensive warranty

Sidekick’s 3-year warranty raises the bar with best-in-class coverage, and because Big Ass Fans makes what we sell, we’ll never redirect you to some random component manufacturer.

Minimal coverage

When you invest in equipment, you expect it to last. Judging from most barrel fans’ 1-year warranties, they’re just not ready for a long-term commitment.
