A 16 inch height-adjustable floor-standing pedestal fan suited to site offices, welfare canteens, workshops, and any enclosed indoor workspace where mains-powered air circulation is needed at standing or seated height throughout the working day. The adjustable column extends to 1.25m, allowing the fan head to be positioned above desk level, above a canteen table, or at standing height in a changing or drying room. Three speed settings and 80-degree oscillation distribute airflow across a wider area than a fixed-head unit, reducing the need to reposition the fan as operatives move around the space.
How height adjustment improves air coverage in site and welfare environments
A fixed-height desk fan circulates air at one level only. In a welfare canteen with a mix of seated and standing operatives, or a workshop where benches vary in height, a fan that cannot be raised above the obstruction in front of it moves air into the back of a chair rather than across the room. The adjustable column on this pedestal fan allows the head to be raised to the correct height for the space, ensuring airflow reaches seated and standing operatives equally without repositioning the unit between uses. Combined with 80-degree oscillation, a single unit can cover a full welfare cabin or site office without a second fan.
Key Features
-
Height-adjustable column to 1.25m: Column extends and locks at any height between minimum and 1.25m, allowing the fan head to clear desk surfaces, canteen tables, and bench obstructions and direct airflow across the full room
-
80-degree oscillation: Sweeps a wider arc than standard fixed or narrow-oscillation standing fans, distributing airflow across the full width of a welfare cabin, site office, or workshop without repositioning
-
Tilting fan head: Head adjusts forwards and backwards and locks into position with an audible click, allowing airflow to be angled downward toward seated operatives or levelled across a larger open space
-
3 speed settings: Low, medium, and high allow airflow to be matched to ambient temperature and room size without tools or adjustment beyond the speed control switch
-
45W, 240V ~ 50Hz mains powered: Connects directly to a standard UK mains socket, no batteries, no recharging, no interruption during a full shift
-
Mesh safety grill with enclosed blades: Protective grill reduces risk of contact with rotating blades in shared welfare, canteen, and changing room environments
-
CE and UKCA marked: Meets UK Electrical Equipment (Safety) Regulations

Who is this for
This pedestal fan is used primarily by site managers, welfare supervisors, and facilities teams equipping site offices, welfare canteens, and changing rooms on UK construction sites and industrial premises. The height-adjustable column makes it suited to environments where desk fans cannot reach the required coverage height, including open-plan site offices, larger welfare cabins, and workshop areas with varying bench heights. It is equally appropriate for any fixed indoor workspace with access to a standard 240V mains supply where sustained air circulation is needed across a full working day.
Typical applications
-
Providing air circulation across a welfare canteen or rest area where a desk fan cannot achieve sufficient height or coverage
-
Cooling site office environments where operatives work at standing or seated height and require airflow above desk level
-
Supplementing ventilation in workshop and light industrial bench areas where overhead ventilation is absent or insufficient
-
Circulating air in changing and drying rooms within welfare units, helping dry workwear between shifts
-
Providing directed oscillating airflow across an open-plan temporary office on site where multiple operatives share one space
-
Cooling storage cabins and equipment rooms during warm weather where a desk unit lacks the reach to circulate air effectively
-
General mains-powered air circulation in any enclosed indoor workspace where the fan height needs to match the working environment
How to use
Step 1: Assemble the pedestal base by attaching the outer tube to the cross base using the four screws provided. Slide the base cover trim down the tube and refit the height adjustment collar.
Step 2: Extend the inner tube to the required height and tighten the height adjustment collar to lock the column at the correct position.
Step 3: Insert the inner tube into the motor and switch assembly and tighten the locking screw to secure.
Step 4: Fit the rear guard, fan blades, and front safety grill as described in the assembly instructions. Ensure all retaining nuts and clasps are fully tightened before connecting to the mains.
Step 5: Plug into a standard 240V mains socket. Fully unwind any extension lead before use.
Step 6: Set the tilt angle by adjusting the fan head forwards or backwards until it clicks into the required position.
Step 7: Select the required speed using the speed control: position 1 is low, 2 is medium, 3 is high.
Step 8: Push the oscillation knob downward to engage oscillation. Pull upward to lock the head in a fixed direction.
Common mistakes
-
Leaving the height adjustment collar loose: A collar that is not fully tightened allows the column to slip downward under the weight of the motor head during use. Always tighten firmly after setting height.
-
Using with a coiled extension lead: A partially or fully coiled extension cable can overheat under sustained electrical load. Always fully unwind extension leads before use.
-
Placing on an uneven surface: The cross base requires a level floor to sit flat. On an uneven surface the unit can topple. Always confirm the base is seated flat before switching on.
-
Not fully securing the front grill clasps: A grill that is not fully clipped closed can detach during oscillation. Check all clasps and the retaining nut and screw at the base of the front grill before use.
-
Using outdoors or in damp conditions: This fan carries no IP rating for moisture resistance. Outdoor use or exposure to rain is an electrical safety hazard.
Safety
This fan is designed for indoor use on a standard 220–240V ~ 50Hz mains supply only. Do not use outdoors, in wet or damp environments, or in locations exposed to rain or condensation. Do not insert objects through the safety grill whilst the fan is running. Ensure the fan is switched off before removing the grill for cleaning. Keep the power cable clear of the base and away from walkways where it may create a trip hazard. Do not operate with a damaged cable, plug, or grill. If the unit shows any sign of damage, discontinue use and refer to qualified personnel, there are no user-serviceable parts. CE and UKCA marked in compliance with the UK Electrical Equipment (Safety) Regulations 2016.
Maintenance
Switch off and unplug before cleaning. Wipe the grill, blades, and casing with a soft dry cloth. If heavily soiled, use a lightly damp cloth and dry thoroughly before reconnecting. Do not use solvents, abrasives, or spray cleaners on any part of the unit. The motor bearings are permanently sealed and require no lubrication. Store in original packaging in a dry, ventilated area when not in use.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the maximum height this fan reaches and how is the height adjusted?
A: The column extends to a maximum height of 1,250mm (1.25m) from floor to fan centre. To adjust, loosen the height adjustment collar on the upper section of the column, slide the inner tube to the required height, and re-tighten the collar firmly to lock the position. The collar must be fully tightened before use — a loose collar allows the column to sink under the weight of the motor head during operation.
Q: What voltage does this fan operate on and is it compatible with a 110V site supply?
A: This fan operates on 220–240V ~ 50Hz only and is supplied with a standard UK Type G mains plug. It is not compatible with 110V site transformer supplies commonly used for power tools on construction sites. For use in a welfare cabin, site office, or canteen with a standard 240V supply it connects directly to a standard UK socket without any adaptor or converter.
Q: What is this fan NOT suitable for?
A: This fan is not suitable for outdoor use, wet or damp environments, or locations exposed to rain or condensation — it carries no IP rating for moisture resistance. It is not a substitute for industrial extraction, drying, or high-volume ventilation equipment and will not move significant volumes of air in large open industrial spaces. It is not compatible with 110V site supplies.
Q: How does the oscillation work and can the head be fixed in one direction?
A: Oscillation is controlled by a knob on the motor housing. Push the knob downward to engage the 80-degree oscillating sweep. Pull the knob upward to stop oscillation and lock the head in the current position. The fan head can also be tilted forwards or backwards independently of oscillation and locks into position with an audible click, allowing the airflow angle to be set before or after engaging the sweep.
Q: Is this fan suitable for continuous all-day use in a site office or welfare cabin?
A: The fan is designed for sustained mains-powered operation and is suited to all-day use on a 240V supply. Switch off and unplug when the space is left unattended for extended periods. Ensure any extension lead used is fully unwound before operation — a coiled cable under sustained electrical load is a fire risk.
Q: How should the fan be maintained to keep it running reliably on site?
A: Dust accumulates on the grill and blade surfaces over time, reducing airflow and increasing motor load. Wipe the grill and casing with a dry cloth regularly and clean blade surfaces with a soft brush whilst the fan is unplugged. The motor bearings are permanently sealed and require no lubrication. Store in original packaging in a dry, ventilated location when the site office or cabin is not in use for extended periods.
