A 110V infrared cabinet heater built for construction sites, warehouses, and large indoor commercial environments where conventional 230V power is not available or practical. The twin ruby halogen elements deliver up to 2.4kW of radiant heat at 8,188 BTU and convert 95% of input electricity directly to usable warmth, with a powder-coated metal cabinet, soft-touch control panel, LCD display, remote control, and lockable castors for repositioning between work areas.
Why infrared heat works differently on site
A fan heater heats the air in a room and loses most of that heat the moment a door opens, a breeze moves through a large space, or the heating cycle stops. On a construction site or in a warehouse, heating the air is rarely practical. Infrared radiant heat works differently. It heats the objects and people directly in front of the heater, not the surrounding air. That means it delivers warmth immediately when switched on, holds it in a localised zone without depending on a sealed room, and loses far less energy to draughts and air movement than convection heating. For site workers heating a specific working area, drying plaster or paintwork, or maintaining a comfortable temperature in a welfare unit, radiant heat is significantly more efficient than trying to warm the full volume of a building.
Key Features
-
Twin ruby halogen elements with dual heating modes: Two elements allow the heater to run at 1,200W on the upper element alone or 2,400W with both active. The second element automatically cuts off when the ambient temperature reaches the target, reducing energy consumption once the space is up to temperature.
-
95% energy conversion efficiency: Converts 95% of input electricity to radiant heat via chemically polished reflectors that maximise heat emission from the halogen elements. Significantly more efficient than convection heating in partially enclosed or draughty spaces.
-
Adjustable thermostat with programmable shutdown timer: Thermostat adjustable between 15 and 45°C in whole degree increments. Shutdown timer programmable up to 23 hours, allowing the heater to enter standby automatically at the end of a shift or working period.
-
Safety tilt cut-out switch: Automatically enters standby mode if the heater tilts more than 25° forward or backward. Protects against accidental tip-over in busy site environments.
-
Open window detection: If the ambient temperature drops more than 5°C within 10 minutes, the heater enters standby automatically to conserve energy when external factors are affecting the space temperature.
-
Remote control included: Mirrors all control panel functions, standby, heating mode, thermostat, and timer, allowing adjustment without approaching the heater during use.
-
Lockable castors and handle: Four multidirectional castors allow repositioning between areas. Two are lockable for stationary use. The rear handle allows controlled movement when repositioning.

Who Is This For
This heater is used primarily by construction site managers, site welfare officers, and groundwork crews needing reliable localised heat in indoor site environments running on 110V power. It is equally suited to warehouse operatives, workshop managers, and facilities teams who need to heat a specific working zone rather than a full building, or who need to dry walls, plaster, or paintwork as part of a programme of works. The 110V supply voltage makes it directly compatible with standard UK site transformer power without the need for voltage conversion.
Typical Applications
-
Providing localised radiant heat to a specific working area on a construction site where heating the full building volume is impractical or too expensive.
-
Warming welfare units, site offices, and temporary accommodation on construction sites during autumn and winter working periods.
-
Drying freshly plastered or rendered walls, new paintwork, or wet concrete as part of a building programme, using controlled radiant heat directed at the treated surface.
-
Heating a specific bay or zone in a large warehouse or distribution centre where central heating is insufficient for workers stationed in one area.
-
Workshop and garage heating where 110V power is the available supply and a portable, repositionable heater is needed between work areas.
-
Spot heating in industrial facilities where a specific process or workstation requires a consistent ambient temperature that the building's general heating cannot maintain.
How to Use
Step 1: Assemble the wheel frames and handle before first use, following the manufacturer's instructions supplied with the unit.
Step 2: Position the heater on a firm, level surface in its upright position. Maintain a minimum 2 metre clearance between the fireguard and any nearby objects, curtains, or combustible materials. Lock the wheels before use.
Step 3: Ensure the power switch is in the OFF position before connecting the plug directly to a 110V power supply. Do not use with an extension lead, multi-socket adaptor, or plug adaptor.
Step 4: Press the power switch to ON. The heater enters standby mode and the LCD display illuminates. Press the standby button on the control panel or remote to begin heating. The upper element activates and begins working towards the default target temperature of 30°C.
Step 5: To adjust the target temperature, press the up or down buttons on the control panel while the default display is shown. The target can be set between 15 and 45°C.
Step 6: To activate the lower element for faster heating, press the heating mode button. The lower element activates automatically when the ambient temperature is more than 3°C below the target, and cuts off automatically once the gap closes.
Step 7: To set a shutdown timer, press the shutdown timer button, use the up or down buttons to select the number of hours, then press the timer countdown button to initiate. The heater enters standby automatically when the countdown reaches zero.
Step 8: Before moving the heater, press the standby button to return it to standby mode, then switch off at the power switch and disconnect from the supply. Allow at least 20 minutes to cool before moving or repositioning.
Common Mistakes
-
Connecting via an extension lead: the manufacturer specifies that this heater must be plugged directly into the power supply. Extension leads and multi-socket adaptors must not be used.
-
Leaving the heater unattended while switched on: this heater must not be left running in an unoccupied space. Switch to standby or disconnect when leaving the area.
-
Moving the heater without allowing it to cool: metal surfaces reach high temperatures during use. Always switch off, disconnect, and allow at least 20 minutes cooling time before repositioning.
-
Using in a dusty environment: the manufacturer's guidance specifically excludes use in dusty conditions. Dust accumulation on the elements and reflectors can cause overheating and reduce performance.
-
Positioning within 2 metres of combustible materials: the minimum safe clearance between the fireguard and any nearby object is 2 metres. Curtains, timber formwork, site materials, and stored goods must all be clear of this zone.
-
Using without the fireguard in place: the fireguard must be correctly fitted and secured before the heater is switched on. Operating without the fireguard is unsafe and voids the warranty.
Safety
This heater is for indoor use only and must not be exposed to rain or used in outdoor environments. It must not be used near baths, showers, or other water sources, and must never be operated with wet hands or allowed to come into contact with any liquid. The metal surfaces of the cabinet reach very high temperatures during use, do not touch any part of the unit other than the handle or wheels during or immediately after operation. The tilt cut-out switch activates automatically at 25° of tilt and places the unit in standby, but the heater must not be deliberately tilted or used in any position other than fully upright. Do not use in explosive atmospheres or near flammable gases or vapours. The fireguard does not provide full protection for children or infirm persons, maintain a safe distance from the unit at all times when it is in operation. Allow the heater to cool for at least 20 minutes before moving.
Maintenance
Clean the cabinet body and grilles using a dry cloth only. Never use water, solvents, or abrasive materials on any part of the heater. Clean the reflectors by removing the fireguard and wiping gently with a fine dry cloth. The reflector surface is soft and scratches easily, do not use abrasive materials as scratch damage can cause the unit to overheat. Replace the fireguard before switching the heater back on. The heater should be inspected by suitably qualified personnel at least once a year. Any repairs to the power cable or plug must be carried out by the manufacturer or an authorised service agent. Store in a clean, dry location when not in use.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Why does this heater run on 110V rather than 230V?
A: On UK construction sites, 110V is the standard supply voltage provided by site transformers. This is a deliberate safety measure required under HSE guidance for portable electrical equipment used in construction environments, 110V centre-tapped transformers limit the voltage to earth to 55V, significantly reducing the risk of fatal electrocution in the event of a fault. A 110V heater plugs directly into a standard site transformer output without any adaption or conversion. A 230V heater cannot be used on a typical site supply without separate equipment.
Q: What is the difference between single mode and dual mode heating?
A: In single mode, only the upper halogen element is active at 1,200W. This is the default heating mode when the heater is switched on from standby. Dual mode activates the lower element as well, bringing total output to 2,400W for faster heating of a larger area or when the space is significantly colder than the target temperature. The lower element only activates in dual mode when the ambient temperature is more than 3°C below the target, and cuts off automatically once the gap closes, conserving energy once the space is up to temperature.
Q: What is this heater NOT suitable for?
A: This heater is for indoor use only and must not be used outdoors or in wet environments. It must not be used in dusty conditions, in explosive or flammable gas atmospheres, or near baths, showers, or other water sources. It must be plugged directly into a 110V supply and cannot be used with extension leads, multi-socket adaptors, or plug adaptors. It must not be left unattended while in operation. It is not suitable for use in small rooms occupied by individuals unable to leave the room unassisted unless constant supervision is provided.
Q: How does infrared radiant heat compare to a fan heater for site use?
A: A fan heater warms the air in a room and loses most of that heat through draughts, open doors, and the general air movement of a working site. In a partially enclosed or large space, fan heating is rarely efficient because the heated air disperses before it reaches the worker. Infrared radiant heat works differently, it heats objects and people directly in its path, not the surrounding air. That means it delivers warmth immediately on switch-on and maintains it in a localised zone regardless of draughts or air movement. For construction sites and warehouses, where heating the full building volume is impractical, radiant heating is significantly more efficient than convection.
Q: Can this heater be used to dry walls and plasterwork?
A: Yes. Infrared radiant heat directed at a freshly plastered or rendered surface accelerates the drying process by warming the material directly rather than heating the surrounding air. Position the heater facing the surface at an appropriate distance and monitor the drying progress. Do not direct the heater at materials that may be damaged by heat, and maintain the 2 metre minimum clearance from the fireguard to any surrounding objects during use.
Q: What happens if the heater is knocked over?
A: The tilt cut-out switch activates automatically if the unit tilts more than 25° forward or backward and places the heater in standby mode, cutting power to the elements. Once the heater has cooled and been returned to its upright position, the tilt switch resets with an audible click. Press the standby button to resume heating. After any tip-over event, inspect the unit for visible damage before returning it to service.
Q: How do I set and use the shutdown timer?
A: Press the shutdown timer button on the control panel or remote while the default display is shown. Use the up and down buttons to select the number of hours for the countdown. Allow the display to time out, then press the timer countdown button to initiate the timer. The timer counts down on the display and the heater enters standby automatically when it reaches zero. The maximum timer setting is 23 hours. Once initiated, the timer can be paused by pressing the countdown button again.
