Cool a big, hot space
A small fan barely dents a hot garage. This 18-inch industrial fan pushes up to 350 CFM on three high-torque speeds, so it actually cools a shop, bay or large room instead of just stirring warm air.

The Optimus F-4182 is built to move serious air in serious spaces. An 18-inch industrial fan with an all-metal body and a heavy-duty 12-inch aluminum blade, it drives up to 350 CFM across a garage, warehouse bay or workshop on three high-torque speeds. Tilt the head to blast a floor, dry a wet slab or circulate air toward the ceiling. This is a workhorse, not a desk fan.

- Heavy-duty aluminum blade: a 12-inch metal blade built to push air hard, shift after shift
- All-metal construction: a rugged body made for garages, shops and job sites, not just living rooms

Frequently Asked Questions▼
How much air does it move?
The F-4182 pushes up to 350 CFM on its top speed, enough to cool and circulate air in a garage, warehouse bay or large workshop.
Does it oscillate?
No. This is a high velocity industrial fan. The head tilts through its full range so you can aim air across a floor or up toward the ceiling, but it does not sweep side to side.
Is it really all metal?
Yes. The body is all-metal and the blade is heavy-duty 12-inch aluminum, built for demanding shop and job-site use.
Can I use it to dry a floor?
Yes. Tilt the head down and the strong directional airflow helps dry a wet slab, fresh paint or a mopped floor quickly.
Care & Use▼
- Set on a stable, flat surface and confirm the grill is secure before switching on.
- Unplug before cleaning. Wipe the wire grill and aluminum blade with a dry cloth and keep the motor housing dry.
- Use indoors only and route the cord clear of walkways and water.

Why Choose Optimus?▼
Optimus is a go-to name for hard-working, budget-smart fans and heaters, and its industrial high velocity line is a shop favorite. The F-4182 shows why: an all-metal body, a heavy aluminum blade and a high-torque three-speed motor that moves real air where the job is hot. It is the fan you point at the problem and forget about.

Why it earns its spot
Built for the job site
Plastic fans crack and melt in tough conditions. The F-4182 is all metal with a heavy 12-inch aluminum blade and reinforced wire grill, made to run hard in garages, warehouses and shops.
Aim it or circulate it
Stagnant air makes work miserable. Tilt the head down to blast a floor and dry a slab, or up to circulate air toward the ceiling and keep an entire room moving.

How it compares
Against a plastic box fan
A box fan pushes soft air that fades fast in a big space. This all-metal industrial fan drives a high velocity stream up to 350 CFM, moving far more air and holding up to shop conditions.
Against a small desk fan
A desk fan is built for a quiet office. This 18-inch industrial fan is a different class entirely, made to cool a hot garage, warehouse or job site where a desk fan does nothing.
Against an oscillating room fan
A room fan sweeps a gentle breeze for comfort. This high velocity fan concentrates powerful directional air to cool large spaces, dry floors and circulate air fast.

Purchased 2011 Still working great after 11 years
Originally bought it as part of a 7th grade science wind generating power project. Never have any problems with it and it still works great. I am wondering if their quality control slipped in 2016 due to the high number of negative reviews

Best Value, for a Great Fan!
We were in the middle of a long heat wave of 100°+ several days consecutively. This fan really saved the day since I had no air conditioner, and with the 3 speeds it moves the air quickly. This is my second Optimus fan and I feel it's a great value for the money. I recommend this fan.
