Fresh Look and New Models

Wacker Neuson Climate Technology equipment is going global. No matter whether it’s an oil field in Alberta, bridge construction in Germany or underground tank restoration in Ireland, chances are you will find our Climate Technology equipment hard at work.

We are meeting the heating and restoration needs of an expanding customer base, who face a broad range of application requirements throughout the world. As part of Wacker Neuson Corporation, the Climate Technology division is standardizing our look and identity to make it easier for contractors worldwide to identify the type of equipment needed – whether air heat, hydronic heat or drying.

Spanning the 2010-2011 heating season, you will notice a transition from the original Ground Heaters red to the Wacker Neuson yellow and gray look. Some of the first models making this transition are the E1100 hydronic heater, Pureheat hydronic air or surface heater and the HI 110, HI 200, HI 400 and HI 750 series air heaters.

New Models and Identity

Wait a minute…the HI 110, HI 200, HI 400 and HI 750 series air heaters from Wacker Neuson Climate Technology? Are these new and what happened to the Arctic Bear models?

Yes…these indirect-fired heaters are new to the line and help to expand our offering of standard and heavy duty air heaters. Working with more contractors spanning broader markets challenged Climate Technology team members to develop more models to meet virtually any application. Also with these new models, you’ll see more fuel and ducting options to make our equipment more flexible than ever before.

For many years, contractors have identified the Wacker Neuson indirect fired heaters as Arctic Bear units, and, for the short term, you will continue to see some of the Arctic Bear model numbers on the market. However, to go along with the new look, contractors will begin to notice a new model nomenclature on the units.

The new model numbers reflect a more recognizable global identification. Under the new brand identity, our indirect fired heaters will now begin with “HI” to identify the type of heater. A model number follows to indicate the fuel input size of the heater and a suffix is added to designate if it’s a heavy duty unit and the type of fuel it uses.

For example, the model HI 400HD G can be broken down as:

HI = Heater Indirect
400 = 411,000 BTU/hr fuel input
HD = Heavy Duty
G = Natural Gas/Propane (alternately D = Diesel)

Now you know the code to our new models. Even though the numbers and look are changing, our commitment to the customer continues to be our #1 priority. You can continue to depend on Wacker Neuson Climate Technology equipment to reliabiy and efficiently work on your next project.
