Lexington, Kentucky, July 08, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Big Ass Fans is redefining industrial cooling once again with the launch of its groundbreaking trailer fan, Velocity™, debuting July 8. Engineered to tackle the intense heat challenges in manufacturing and distribution environments, Velocity™ can flush sweltering 120-degree air from a trailer in under two minutes. Even more impressive, it delivers a sustained cooling breeze—reaching 30% farther into a 53-foot trailer than any competing fan on the market.
As the summer heat intensifies, the need for effective cooling solutions becomes critical. With approximately 33,000 heat-related health issues reported annually, businesses can benefit significantly from Velocity's™ innovative performance. By maintaining optimal airflow, companies can avoid scheduling disruptions, allowing employees to work uninterrupted shifts. This results in faster load times, reduced truck idle time, and increased safety for workers.
“Trailer heat is one of the most overlooked sources of front-line worker heat stress, and until now, there hasn’t been a truly effective solution that covers deep into the trailer,” said Leah Larson, Chief Executive Officer at Big Ass Fans. “Our customers made it clear this was a critical need—and we listened. Velocity™ is a game-changing innovation that delivers powerful, reliable cooling exactly where it’s needed most.” True to form, Big Ass Fans has engineered an industrial-strength solution built to last and outperform.
With Velocity™, Big Ass Fans has tackled the toughest challenge in trailer cooling: delivering high-powered airflow exactly where it’s needed to flush out trapped heat and help keep workers cool. Leveraging industry-standard AMCA (Air Movement and Control Association International, Inc.) testing, Velocity™ leads the market in air movement performance—cutting through stagnant, 120-degree trailer air. But power alone isn’t enough. Velocity’s™ smart design ensures optimal fan placement and safety, eliminating common issues like sagging and wall separation to protect employees, or drift that can reduce cooling effectiveness by up to 50%. Added safety precautions include an LED light to illuminate the interior of the trailer, complemented by a redundant safety cable for added stability and security.
Velocity™ is a long-term investment for businesses looking to enhance employee comfort and productivity. A nationally recognized auto parts customer who pre-purchased this innovative fan said, “For helping us stay cool in the trailers, this is the best solution I have ever felt!”
As the demand for effective cooling solutions grows, Big Ass Fans remains committed to pushing the boundaries of air movement technology, ensuring that every new product delivers measurable results and addresses the specific comfort needs of its customers.
