Big Ass Fans® F-SK1-4801 Sidekick 48" Barrel Fan

The Most Advanced Barrel Fan Ever Created
Built to deliver mobile comfort to virtually any space, Sidekick is your facility’s best choice for immediate airflow on the go. Its six-blade design and permanent-magnet motor move more air than any barrel fan on the market with class-leading energy efficiency and the quietest sound level.

Lightweight and impact-resistant, Sidekick offers optimum maneuverability with four locking swivel casters, a large handle, and convenient 12-foot power cord. At 4 feet wide, Sidekick is sized just right for the power you need and easy to store when not in use.

More Airflow, Less Energy

Sidekick’s permanent-magnet motor moves more air at nearly double the efficiency of its closest competitor. With a magnetron core, it also runs cooler than induction or belt-driven motors, ensuring a long life of peak performance.

• Smaller, lighter, and more powerful than any other fan motor in its class
• Brushless DC motor design further reduces friction and energy loss
• 100% passive cooling keeps operating temperature low and efficiency high

Quiet by Design

Sidekick’s smooth, quiet operation is no accident. We engineered the fan with a vented shroud to reduce noise, and its six-blade design provides consistent airflow with none of the choppy sound common to three-bladed fans.

Built Like No Other

Features such as a patented airfoil system, variable speed direct-drive motor, and impact-resistant frame are what set Sidekick apart from the barrel fans of yesteryear.

• Sleek, durable reinforced nylon airfoils
• Fully adjustable variable speed control dial
• OSHA-compliant steel screen and HDPE shroud

Maximum Mobility

Versatile? That’s Sidekick’s middle name. Its convenient 4-foot diameter fits easily through standard interior doorways, while its four locking swivel casters and 12-foot power cord make cooling airflow quick and convenient anywhere in your space.
