Inflator Fans

We offer two styles of inflator fan with three sizes in each model. All fans use the easy to start and reliable, direct drive four stroke honda engines in 5.5, 9 and 13 hp sizes.

Ducted fan - The Smallaire range of ducted fans include GRP blades enclosed in a powder coated duct for efficiency during operation and safety in the event of a blade failure. The fan assembly can be gimballed to change the angle of airflow and the unit is mounted on four wheels allowing the fan to be moved sideways away from the basket.

Quick Releases

Known as the "Three Ring Circus" this proven quick release device guarantees a controlled launch in even the most extreme conditions.

Quick and easy to assemble, the release can be supplied as a stand alone unit or with all required rope bridles and launch ropes.

Karabiner Keepers

These nifty little rubber loops will help tame your flying wires.

Once installed onto your karabiners, the durable rubber loops will keep the flying wires in place at the correct end of the karabiner helping to reduce tangles during rigging. Fitted as standard on all new balloons, you can easily add these to your existing balloons.

Give them a go, your crew will love you!
