Hi!

I need to buy a portable blower, and cannot find what I need.  

The blower/big fan should be 110/115 volt and move 20,000-30,000 CFM
of air.  The blower will be used to ventilate a warehouse during the
summer months.

We want to pay $500-$1000.  They typically have 36" or 48" blades, and
weigh 200-400 pounds.  They are moved around on attached rubber
wheels.

These are essentially box fans on steroids.  Hollywood uses similar
air movers for movies, but these are too specialized (and too
expensive) for my simple needs.

A great answer would be 3 web sites where I can buy one of these.
All comments greatly appreciated.

Thanks!  ron

High velocity answer with zero hot air. Thanks, bobbie7!  ron

Sam's warehouse sells some really big fans. Two that move 12,000 CFM
might be less costly and less apt to injure someone if they tip over
and less apt to trip crurcuit brakers as you could plug them in to
different circuits. Buying locally is a plus if the unit fails during
warranty.   Neil

Thanks, neilzero!  That is wonderfully helpful advice.  I appreciate
your taking the time to write.  ron
