Efficient ventilation for on-site use is offered by General Equipment
2781 General Equipment Company says that its GP8 and GP8H portable gas-powered air ventilation blowers are ideal for supplying fresh air around construction sites.

They remove toxic and noxious atmospheres from confined work spaces, aiding in detecting sewer line leaks, and providing fresh air for personnel inside tanks and vaults.

The GP8 is equipped with a Briggs & Stratton engine, whereas the GP8H comes with a 2288 Honda engine, both of which are rated at 2.6kW. An adjustable governor with manual speed control allows the operator to vary the blower volume as needed. Both models are constructed of heavy-gauge aluminum and steel for superior resistance to external field damage

Even with the use of high-strength materials, the GP8 weighs just 25kg, making it easy to transport around the jobsite.
