The Big Ass Fans Sidekick Directional Barrel Fan 4ft Midnight Black is built at Big Ass Fans’ Lexington, Kentucky facility. OSHA-compliant steel cage, IPX5-rated (washdown capable on some models), variable speed control, and the heavy-duty construction that distinguishes BAF directional/portable fans from the lightweight imported alternatives.
Sized 4-8 feet diameter. Sidekick (4 ft) is the wall-mount or stand-mount barrel directional fan. Black Jack (6 ft) is the mobile/portable industrial floor fan. AirGo (8 ft) is the largest mobile portable fan for warehouse aisles. Yellow Jacket (30 in) is the pedestal-mount with onboard variable speed control.
