All-terrain legs on Ventry® PPV FANS allows you to put the fan where you need it, including uneven terrain like stairs, hills, snow, mud, and landscaping. Each leg independently adjusts and locks with the turn of a knob, allowing for fast, accurate aiming and infinite tilt angles without cribbing. The legs also increase cfm by getting the propeller up off the ground, so it’s not trying to pull air out of the dirt. When not in use, the legs retract for transport and storage. Contact us to set up a demo or free trial! https://ventry.com/ppv-fan-legs. (888) 257-8967.

Rosenbauer’s CLEANAIR. Firefighters are at risk of exposure to hazardous environments and airborne chemicals while responding to calls. They bring these volatile organic compounds (VOCs) into the cab of the truck with them after every fire call and continue to breathe these harmful chemicals. Rosenbauer developed the CleanAir re-circulation air scrubber to combat and reduce exposures of these carcinogenic toxins. Using MERV filters and activated charcoal, Rosenbauer’s CleanAir system eliminates up to 80 percent of VOCs after only five minutes of usage, making it safer for crews to travel in their cab after a fire. www.rosenbaueramerica.com.
