How can I raise a plenum fan off the ground?
How can I raise a plenum fan off the ground?
(OP)
I am using a plenum fan (greenheck QEP) for a somewhat atypical situation and the maintenance engineer doesn't want to have to "bend down" to change the belts (eye roll). Is there a way to raise the fan without having to build a concrete pad that is 4 feet high? The fan has been purchased but is just sitting there waiting for a plenum to be built around it. We discussed hanging it from the structure but thought it would be a bad idea.
Any thoughts?
Thanks!

Seriously, I don't know the size of the fan but you could probably do some sort of steel support frame cheaper than concrete. Obviously that expense increases greatly as the size of the fan increases.
