The world's first cool-down room
Designed for protecting workers in high-heat environments
Studies on occupational heat stress have indicated that productivity slumps by about 25% at 90°F, and 70% when the temperature exceeds 100°F. At Portabull, we know workplace safety is one of your top concerns, but how do you protect employees and maintain productivity when your workers are experiencing heat stress?
Portabull has developed the industry’s first dedicated cool-down rooms, offering a significant upgrade over traditional solutions like oilfield cooling trailers, misting tents, and other make-shift solutions. Unlike conventional cooler trailers that rely on open designs with basic cooling fans or portable AC units, our cool-down rooms maintain precise temperature ranges.

The Impact of Extreme Heat on Human Health
In addition to the toll on global economics, heat is a considerable threat to human health. According to OSHA, between 1992 and 2017, heat stress injuries killed 815 U.S. laborers and seriously injured more than 70,000. A case study from NIOSH reported that a 41-year-old construction worker working in 93F heat collapsed with a recorded body temperature of 108F and died one day after being admitted to the hospital.
Portabull can help protect those at risk for heat stress with our portable cool-down rooms or cooler box. We know employee safety is a huge concern for your company, so we have purpose-built our walk-in cool-down rooms for your employees’ safety. Don’t fall victim to rising occupational heat-related injuries, deaths, and lost productivity.
