Horizontal Paddle Fans

Vertical Paddle Fans
​Unique Ceiling Fans



Perhaps you've seen one in a restaurant or bar slowly turning as it recirculates the air moving large paddles in a mesmerizing fashion. They are not only perfect for commercial applications but also just the thing for a home with  cathedral ceiling or timber frame.​​​​

A few notes about these type of fans: They are known as vertical ceiling fans mounted to a horizontal axle usually powered by a single belt driven motor. Some call them horizontal paddle fans, others say mechanical ceiling fans or long ceiling fans.

Shaft driven ceiling fans, also known as belt-driven or vertical ceiling fans, have multiple sets of blades on a horizontal shaft that is powered by a single motor. The number of blade sets is customizable, which makes the system very suitable for long rectangular areas.

Prices vary depending on size, number of paddle sets and blade selection. For example: a 20 foot unit with 4 hubs and standard blades starts at $5200. ​​

Each fan we sell is custom made for a specific installation. The price includes the motor unit, the blades and hubs, bearings, couplers, pulleys, blade holders and crating.

Shipping costs are dependent on location. Several fan blade options are available. The steel axle is not included because it is more economical to purchase it locally. The cost typically is $5/foot. If necessary, we can arrange for shipping of the axle to your location.
