The Patterson TC42-18A is a high-velocity, wall- or dock-mounted fan designed to move substantial amounts of air in demanding industrial settings. Its 18-inch diameter propeller and three-blade galvalume configuration drive a strong, focused airflow to improve ventilation, reduce heat buildup, and help with condensation control in crowded workspaces such as aisles, workstations, and shipping areas. The unit leverages a Venturi-designed barrel and side air intakes to project air efficiently over longer distances, enabling placement flexibility while maintaining effective coverage.
Construction combines a high-impact polypropylene housing with heavy-gauge steel components for durability in tough environments. The motor is a direct-drive, maintenance-free design with sealed bearings and a totally enclosed environment, contributing to reliable operation with less downtime. The fan is available in multiple voltages (including 115V and higher ranges up to 460V) and offers optional oscillator kits and a range of mounting configurations to suit various facility layouts. An OSHA-compliant steel finger guard is included for safety, and a standard 12-foot power cord is provided with 115V models.
Practical applications include circulating air in task zones near pick modules, along aisles, and around dock doors to promote employee comfort and improve overall workspace conditions. When selecting this model, consider the required voltage, mounting method, and any need for motion or directional adjustment. The 2-year warranty provides coverage for manufacturing-related defects, underscoring Patterson’s focus on durable, serviceable industrial fans. This model is cataloged with the manufacturer part number PATTC42-18A and is available through The Safety Source for straightforward ordering and secure checkout.
