Wind Machines, from handheld to 5ft trailer mounted.

Wind Effects

Wind is one of the few (maybe the only) effects that you cannot see, only the effect that it has on other objects or people.  When the wind blows in the trees, it is the leaves moving that you see and not the wind. If, like the wolf in the Three Little Pigs, you huff & puff at and blow at a brick wall, the huffing and puffing it is unlikely to show any effect.

We not only have a range of traditional blowers/fans and wind machines (up to 5 ft trailer mounted & petrol powered) we also have units which run off compressed air that can be safely used handheld in difficult locations eg in water and deliver very high wind speeds.
