Factory & Warehouse Heaters

Industrial Factory & Warehouse Heaters

Industrial heaters for large working spaces

Factories are notoriously difficult to heat. With hundreds of people to keep warm whilst large, open doorways invite cold air inside the space, establishing a consistent ambient temperature can be a challenge.

Temperature impacts every aspect of the workplace, including health and safety, productivity and even the integrity of the building, including contents, products and machinery. Above all, it is a legal requirement to maintain a suitable working environment, which includes ensuring the temperature is kept at a reasonable level. Workplace temperatures set by the government recommend that physical work should be performed in a minimum of 13oC conditions.

Thankfully, we offer some fantastic cost-effective factory heaters that will create a pleasant, comfortable climate inside your factory or warehouse. Our range of heating solutions for your factory includes two types – warm air heating and radiant heating systems.

FINDING THE PERFECT HEATER 

In the search for the perfect heater, it is important to consider the nature of the area you wish to warm. From the size of the space and the amount of people needing warming up to the specific industrial application, there are many variables to account for.

Our handy heating calculator is designed to help you figure out the minimum heating capacity you need for your space. Below is a simple guideline to make finding the most suitable heater that bit easier.

FOR A SMALL BUSY WAREHOUSE 

Any modest sized factory or warehouse may only need a small unit to sufficiently heat the entire space. In busy small spaces with many people to warm up, a space heater is highly recommended. Depending on the fuel type you wish to use, or specific features you are looking for, any small-scale space heater in our range will be an ideal solution. 

COMPACT CABINET HEATERS 

Designed to tuck into corners and out of harm’s way, our range of cabinet heaters are a perfect match for small industrial spaces. With a slim profile and retractable wheels, the Arcotherm 18kW Vertigo Cabinet Heater is designed to be simply rolled into place, slotting into any tight space. Producing up to 61,000BTU/hr of clean heat via a flue, this diesel-fuelled heater will capably heat any small space with many people working inside. Equipped with high-quality features and safety stops, this model is built for the most stringent applications, offering a safe and reliable source of heat. 

ECO-FRIENDLY ELECTRIC FAN HEATERS 

As small workshops and factories often lack sufficient ventilation to safely operate diesel or gas fuelled heaters, electric heaters are an ideal alternative. Models such as the Arcotherm EK22C Industrial Electric Fan Heater boasts 22kW maximum heating capacity, delivering fast and effective warmth for workers and materials on site. This conveniently portable space heater safely and efficiently delivers 100% clean, fume-free electric heat to capably cover any small warehouse or factory. 

FOR A WAREHOUSE WITH FEW PEOPLE

When there are fewer people working in a factory or warehouse, space heaters become a costly and wasteful investment. Instead, spot heating is ideal. As, rather than heating the entire space, radiant heaters direct warmth to people and objects, ensuring full heating efficiency and effect. In environments where people are working closely together and there is no supply of fresh air, infrared heaters offer a convenient, safe and fume-free source of heat. Our range of infrared heaters provides a variety of excellent solutions. 

PORTABLE INFRARED HEATERS 

Models such as the Broughton RG308 Carbon Fibre Quartz Infrared Heater is a great choice for industrial environments where heating an entire area is impractical. This portable heater provides localised heat where and when it is needed, with 100% clean heat and two power settings for flexibility. The carbon fibre quartz lamps are robustly designed and optimised for heavy-duty use. 

PERSONAL INFRARED HEATERS 

The Elite MK3 Portable Halogen Infrared Heater is a space-saving, lightweight and portable appliance offering 1.2kW at half capacity and 2.4kW at full. It is designed to radiate infrared warmth to people in the surrounding vicinity, powered by electricity for an eco-friendly and fume-free source of heat. 

FOR A LARGE OPEN FACTORY OR WAREHOUSE 

Large factory spaces can be exceptionally hard to heat. From pockets of cold created by high ceilings and chilly draughts, finding a sufficient solution for heating the entire space is no easy feat. We supply a range of powerful, efficient industrial heaters in various sizes and capacities that are specifically designed to combat the challenge of a cold, draughty warehouse. 

DIRECT SPACE HEATERS 

Direct fired space heaters produce massive quantities of heat with 100% efficiency. As the warmed air passes an open flame, they exhaust fumes into the space, meaning they most only be used in an open, well-ventilated area. Despite the fact that most models are compact and portable, these heaters pack a powerful heating punch – enough for any industrial-sized warehouse facility. Our selection of diesel direct heater models ranges from 10kW to over 100kW.

The Sealey AB3412 Direct Oil-Fired Space Heater produces a whopping 100kW of heat output, presenting as a strong contender for any factory setting. Featuring a robust wheel-mount and 1,300m3/h airflow, this powerful and portable heater is a fantastic solution for heating areas up to 2,000m3.

For a slightly smaller alternative, the SIP Fireball Professional 660S Paraffin/Diesel Space Heater 21kW is encased by a stunning stainless-steel casing ensuring durability and features a built-in thermostat with easy controls. This space heater provides a convenient and efficient method of heating well-ventilated spaces up to 461m3.

INDIRECT SPACE HEATERS 

Indirect fired space heaters can be fuelled using diesel, heating oil, paraffin or kerosene. They are ideal for factories or warehouses as you can either place them inside the space while the fumes are exhausted outside or place them in a large open doorway with fumes blowing directly out of the back, with warmth directed indoors. Thermobile ITA 75 Indirect Fired Space Heaters are brilliantly designed to deliver 70kW of clean, dry heat inside any industrial space with 3,800m3/h airflow and 91% efficiency. These models feature quality heavy-duty components, including a heat resistant combustion chamber up to 850°C. 

LPG HEATERS 

The Master BLP 103 Direct LPG Space Heater is a fantastic solution for busy well-ventilated industrial buildings. This portable, versatile and robust 103kW gas heater is a cost-effective and efficient solution for heating workshops, warehouses and other areas with appropriate ventilation. 

ELECTRIC HEATING FOR A LARGE WAREHOUSES OR FACTORIES 

Interested in the idea of electric fan heating but you have many people to warm up in a larger space? The Dania 22kW Portable Electric Fan Heater With Trolley is a great choice. This three-phase electric fan heater offers the same comfort, convenience and eco-efficiency as the smaller models but on an elevated scale. This Dania heater rapidly generates a substantial amount of heat from a surprisingly compact unit. Offering a perfect solution for businesses and construction companies requiring temporary or emergency heating for various settings and applications.

With no ventilation required, nor fumes or combustion byproducts, infrared heaters are the best solution for safely and sufficiently heating small factories, garages and workshops. Infrared spot heating also provides an exceptionally economical solution for heating small workshops and factories, as all consumed energy is transferred to clean heat. The Airrex AH-800i Diesel-Fuelled Infrared Heater 22kW is a great choice for heating ventilated spaces up to 2000m3.

Plus, in an industrial environment filled with busy workers, a heating appliance requiring frequent refuelling can add unnecessary stress. Radiant infrared heaters such as the are powered by electricity, meaning they can be left to radiate clean, fume-free warmth.
