I prefere axials to snail style air movers and we have 2 axials for every snail style air mover .
That said,A lot of factors come into play here.
How do you transport them?
I ask because it sucks to move or transport axials in the back of vans that have truckmount hose reels and such as their size inhibits efficiency and overall flow.
How will they be stored?
We prefer axials because of how they can be stored or transported.
Our favorite is the
Phoenix focus as it requires no special hardware and can be stacked just about anywhere including the trucks floor or warehouse shelves or platform.
Axial low amp draw make you more efficient during setup because you will not be exceeding draw and popping breakers as much as you did before.
Another very big consideration is how does you company treat equipment?
Axials as a general rule are not going to be as tough and stand up to the same abuse say a normal snail such as a pro x3 would.
Axials cost more in the beginning but also pay more and produce much more cfm per amp than snails.
More stuff to consider like, do you primarily do residential or commercial?
