Equipment / Super Vac

Battery-Operated Positive-Pressure Ventilation Fans

These Super Vac PPV fans are grouped by battery ecosystem because the power pack drives airflow, runtime, and the chassis combinations available to the crew. The result is a cleaner spec discussion than treating every battery version like a separate product family.

20 inch wheeled battery-operated PPV fan

What Changes From Platform To Platform

The fan family stays visually familiar, but the battery platform changes airflow, runtime, available blade sizes, and whether the compact saddle-style 16" unit is offered alongside the wheeled 16", 18", and 20" packages.

Blade Range

16" to 20"

Layouts

Saddle And Wheeled

Highest Published CFM

14,100 CFM

Longest Published Runtime

Up To 67 Minutes

Application Notes

Saddle-style 16" units

DeWalt, Milwaukee, and Makita include the compact 16" saddle format. HURST and Stihl do not, so their lineup starts with the wheeled 16" fan.

Wheeled fan packages

Every battery family carries the larger wheeled fans where crews need tilt control, fast repositioning, and higher airflow on push paths into the structure.

Runtime footnotes

Published runtimes vary by battery selection. Airflow values are based on the AMCA 240-22 PPV test standard or the comparable procedure called out in the source notes.

Battery Platform Overview

DeWalt

DeWalt Battery Fans

Available in 16" saddle, 16" wheeled, 18" wheeled, and 20" wheeled configurations for crews already committed to the DeWalt battery platform.
