From The Manufacturer

Built, Sized & Supported By Us

South Africa’s automotive plants, mining workshops, food and beverage factories and distribution centres around Johannesburg, Durban, Gqeberha and Cape Town work through hot summers — humid on the KwaZulu-Natal coast — and cold Highveld winters. Austar HVLS fans cool people in summer and, run in reverse, push warm air trapped under the roof back down to floor level in winter.

  • Forward rotation for hot, humid coastal summers
  • Reverse rotation for cold Highveld winters
  • Hanging structures in IS 2062 tested steel, welded by certified welders
  • Sea freight to Durban or Cape Town
  • VFD control that connects to a BMS
