Every Day Counts: Hunter Industrial Delivers on Fast Lead Times

 

If you’ve ever faced a tight project deadline or needed equipment delivered before a seasonal rush, you know that lead time can make or break a job. In industrial and commercial environments, delays aren’t just inconvenient, they can stall productivity, impact revenue, and stress your workforce. The average manufacturing plant loses 5%–20% of its annual productivity to unplanned downtime. That’s why Hunter Industrial’s 10-day lead time isn’t just a promise—it’s a strategic advantage.

Led by Director of Operations, Ben Pugh, Hunter Industrial’s fulfillment system is designed to meet—and exceed—the shipping needs of every business. “When standard HVLS orders arrive at the warehouse, we typically operate within a 10-day business lead time, but our goal is to ship orders within 2–3 business days,” says Ben.

Need industrial air circulators? Our Hunter Air Circulators and Jan Fans ship just as fast, making them an ideal option without compromising on performance and cost.

Why Lead Time Matters

When temperatures rise or productivity demands peak, waiting for essential equipment like industrial fans isn’t ideal. Delays can be costly, with the average automotive manufacturer losing $22,000 per minute when production halts. Annually, unplanned downtime can drain up to $50 billion from industrial manufacturers globally. Downtime can cost more than just money—it can wear on your team, slow logistics, and strain existing cooling systems. At Hunter Industrial, we understand the urgency. We work with warehouses, factories, distribution centers, and gyms where time-sensitive installations are the norm. For businesses, every day matters.

“Based on our process and mission to get fans out the door, from top to bottom, our production team works as quickly and as accurately as possible. It’s truly a team effort—we take pride in what we do,” says Ben.

That’s why our fulfillment strategy is designed around reliability, accuracy, and efficiency.

Beyond Fast Lead Times: A System Built for Efficiency

Maintaining fast lead times isn’t a lucky pattern, it’s the result of a finely tuned, integrated operational system:

• Inventory Control: We keep components stocked and rely on lean manufacturing practices to stay nimble.

• Strategic Warehousing & Distribution: Our facilities are positioned for efficiency, and our workflows are optimized for seamless assembly.

• Demand Forecasting & Production Planning: Accurate forecasting tools affirm we’re never caught off guard by demand spikes.

• Streamlined Order Processing: Our Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems allow orders to be processed reliably, seamlessly integrating with software in finance, customer support and fulfillment departments.

• Reliable Logistics & Carrier Partnerships: We’ve built strong relationships with logistics providers for tracking and shipping.

• Skilled Labor & Installation Readiness: Our Precision Certified Installers help prevent delays when it comes to scheduling and planning for HVLS fan installs, working with customers making sure they’re up and running as quickly as possible.

• Cross-Functional Alignment: Regular meetings across departments allow for transparency and coordination.

At Hunter Industrial, our integrated operational systems are the backbone of our efficiency. By optimizing warehouse operations, leveraging our cutting-edge order processing software, and maintaining coordination across departments, allows for every order to be handled with precision and efficiency—driving the fast lead times that our customers rely on.

More Than Just Airflow—A Safer, More Comfortable Facility

Effective airflow isn’t just about lowering the temperature. In high-heat industrial settings, airflow is critical for safety and productivity. Excessive heat can increase fatigue and lead to heat stress, compromising worker well-being.

Think about your shipping bays, mezzanines, areas near large equipment, or corners of the facility where hot air tends to stagnate—can quickly become hot zones. HVLS fans move large volumes of air efficiently, helping to regulate temperatures and reducing strain on HVAC systems. They operate quietly, superior performance without disruption.

By getting fans delivered fast, you can get ahead of summer heat and give your workforce a more comfortable environment. And when employees are more comfortable, they tend to perform better—and stick around longer.
