Front Mount Heaters are:
- SAFE: Flameless
catalytic heat operating at 850o F is below the
flash point of most flammable cargo. Equipped with a
thermocouple safety shut-off system.
FUEL EFFICIENT: Clean
burn of low cost propane (LP) gas provides instant heat for
pennies per hour. No fumes or soot. No loss of
heat through a heat exchanger. Operating at constant
full heat output, Front Mount Heaters will run at least 4
days on a 100-lb. tank of propane.
HIGH HEATING
CAPACITY: Unique
ducting system moves 200oF air
throughout the trailer. Self-contained, no electrical
power required.

INSTALLATION
Front Mount series heaters require 2
duct holes to be cut in the front of the trailer; one to bring cool
air from the trailer into the heater, the other for hot air transfer
to the cargo area. The cold wall bulkhead cycles 150 cu.ft./min. of
hot air into the trailer without the use of fans.
Front Mount heaters are available
in 18,000 or 22,000 BTU models.
- Convected heat – no fans, no
electrical requirement
- Thermostatically controlled heat
modulation
- Flow Meter - indicates operating
status
- Propane powered – low cost,
clean burning, readily available
