Warehouse heater - an effective way to heat

Heater for the warehouse

Warehouses and logistics halls are places where maintaining the right temperature is a challenge. Large volumes, high ceilings and intensive goods traffic mean that traditional heating systems are often inadequate or too expensive to operate. Under these conditions, the following are ideal infrared oil heaters, which enable rapid and spot heating exactly where it is needed.

In this blog post, we explain how to use oil heaters in logistics and warehouses to make heating efficient, economical and safe.

Why are warehouses difficult to heat?

Large area and volume - The larger the object, the more energy is required to heat the air.
High ceilings - The warm air rises upwards, and it often stays cool where the workers are.
Frequent opening of gates - intensive freight movements result in rapid cooling of the space.
Different use zones - There are different temperature requirements on the loading ramp and others in the order picking area.

These challenges make heating the warehouse with a heater infrared is a practical solution - because we heat people and workplaces rather than the entire space from floor to roof.

How does an infrared oil heater work in a warehouse?

Unlike traditional air heaters, infrared heaters emit heat waves that directly heat people, goods and surfaces. This means:

no energy loss due to rising warm air,
rapid heating of work zones, even with the gates open,
thermal comfort for employees without having to raise the temperature of the entire facility.

Advantages of oil heaters in logistics and warehouses

Energy efficiency - heat goes where it is needed.
Mobility - The heater can be easily moved from one zone to another.
Rapid heating effect - comfort is felt almost immediately after switching on.
No need to expand the installation - The unit operates independently, all that is needed is fuel and natural ventilation.
Versatility - They are suitable for large halls as well as for smaller warehouses or logistics marquees.

How to optimise the heating of halls and warehouses?

Choose the right heater output - power must correspond to the size of the space and the number of people in the work area.
Use zone heating - Instead of heating the entire hall, focus on the work areas (packing lines, picking, operator stations).
Control the quality of the fuel - Clean fuel not only means lower combustion, but also lower emissions and a longer service life.
Take care of ventilation - Safe operation of the heater requires access to fresh air.
Plan a seasonal service - Regular cleaning of filters and nozzles avoids unexpected malfunctions.

Examples of applications in logistics

Loading ramp - rapid heating of employees during heavy goods traffic.
Picking area - providing thermal comfort where employees spend many hours in one place.
Tent warehouses - ideal application for mobile heaters that can be easily relocated if the space is rearranged.

FAQ - Frequently asked questions

Can an oil heater heat an entire warehouse?
Maybe, but more often than not it is more cost-effective to zone heating - then energy does not escape upwards and we are not heating unused spaces.

What fuel to use for oil heaters?
Preferably high-quality diesel or fuel oil in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations.

Can the heater operate with the gates open?
Yes - this is one of its greatest advantages. Infrared radiation heats people and surfaces directly, not the air, so heat loss is minimal.

Is the heater suitable for continuous operation?
Yes, provided there is adequate ventilation and regular service intervals.

Warehouse heating infrared oil heater is a solution that combines efficiency, mobility and economy. With zone heating, you can provide comfort to your employees where they need it most, without wasting energy on heating the entire hall volume.

Heater for the warehouse or heater for the production hall can therefore work well and solve the heating problem.
