FAQs

Common questions answered.

Five of the questions we hear most often on carpark and street linemarking gear. Full knowledge base on our FAQ page.

  • Evap or portable AC?

    Evap in dry inland AU (most of QLD, NSW, SA, WA, NT inland) where humidity is below 60 percent. Portable AC in coastal humid AU (Brisbane, Sydney coastal, Melbourne, Perth coastal). Above 60 percent humidity, evap effectiveness drops because air is near-saturated.

  • 550W or 750W?

    550W for smaller workshop bays + transport offices. 750W for larger warehouse + workshop floor. Match the unit to the room volume and worker count.

  • Water consumption?

    Evap coolers use water at 5-20 L/hour depending on temperature, humidity and fan speed. Standard tap connection + drain or auto-fill. Plan water supply at the cooler location before specifying.

  • What are the best environments for using a portable evaporative cooler effectively?

    A portable evaporative cooler shines in hot, dry environments - and Australia's got plenty of those. These quality cooling machines work best when the humidity levels are below 60%, which makes them suited to most Australian inland areas, workshops, warehouses, and outdoor events.

    Here's where your evaporative cooling system will be a total superstar: dry workshops, manufacturing facilities, garages, patios, and even large open spaces like event marquees. The key is good ventilation - you need fresh air flow for the system to work its magic. Industrial spaces choose these units because a portable evaporative air cooler can cover massive areas without the significant electricity bills.

    They're effective in construction sites, mining operations, and agricultural settings where traditional air conditioning just isn't practical or cost-effective. For larger industrial applications, an industrial evaporative cooler can transform sweltering work environments into comfortable, productive spaces.

    The sweet spot? Think dry heat rather than muggy, humid conditions. Coastal areas with high humidity might not get the same cooling punch, but inland Australia? perfection. These units are also quality for semi-outdoor areas like covered loading docks or partially enclosed workshops.

  • What airflow capacity do I need for my workspace?

    Airflow is measured in cubic metres per hour (m3/h). As a guide, calculate the volume of your space (length x width x height in metres) and multiply by 20-30 air changes per hour for industrial cooling. A 500 m2 warehouse with 6 m ceiling height = 3,000 m3, requiring approximately 60,000-90,000 m3/h total airflow. The Tradequip 1029T (750W) delivers 18,000 m3/h, so three to five units would cover that space.

Evaporative Coolers

3 industrial portable evaporative coolers from TradeQuip. 550W and 750W professional units for workshop, warehouse, transport depot and event cooling in dry inland AU climates. Lower capex + lower running cost than refrigerated portable AC.

Evap vs portable AC - humidity rule. Evaporative cooling works in dry inland AU climates (most of QLD, NSW, SA, WA, NT inland) where humidity is below 60 percent. Above 60 percent humidity, evap effectiveness drops because the air is already near-saturated with water. Portable refrigerated AC is the right pick for coastal humid AU (Brisbane, Sydney coastal, Melbourne, Perth coastal).
