Maintain winter productivity with scalable heating solutions

Discover hire-ready heating equipment – from compact units to high-capacity systems – to keep your site running smoothly all season

As cooler months arrive across Australia, construction sites, industrial facilities and event spaces face a familiar challenge: maintaining productivity and staying warm despite the chill. But with the right heating solution, your operations don’t have to slow down.

“We know cold weather can create real challenges on site – from worker comfort to equipment performance,” says Kurt Edwards, Power & HVAC Manager at Coates. “That’s why we offer scalable heating solutions that can be quickly deployed from our strategic hubs across the country to help our customers stay on track.”

Tailored heating solutions to meet your project demands

Coates provides a range of temporary heating equipment that can be scaled and configured to suit different site conditions, including:

Hot Water Boilers (500kW)

Our diesel-fired hot water boilers are built for performance and reliability in demanding environments. Housed in a 20-foot ISO container for easy transport and deployment, these units are ideal for large-scale heating applications such as:

• Industrial process support

• Large-scale space heating

Boilers can be integrated with Air Handling Units (AHUs) or fluid-to-fluid Heat Exchangers to deliver high-capacity heating.

Heat Pump Chillers (30kW–800kW)

Our electric heat pump chillers are a versatile and energy-efficient solution for medium-temperature heating (up to 50°C). These units are particularly well-suited for:

• Space heating in enclosed or semi-enclosed environments

• Temporary HVAC systems for events or facilities

• Fluid heating for industrial processes

With a wide capacity range, they can be tailored to suit both small and large applications. When paired with pumps and AHUs, they provide a complete space heating solution. Alternatively, they can be connected to Heat Exchangers for fluid-to-fluid heating, offering flexibility across a variety of use cases.

Packaged Air Conditioners (20kW, 50kW, 100kW)

These ducted air conditioning units offer a fast and flexible solution for temporary space heating across a variety of environments. Key features and benefits include:

• Three capacity options, suitable for small offices through to large industrial spaces

• Quick to deploy, with plug-and-play setup for minimal disruption on site

• Quiet, electric performance ideal for indoor or noise-sensitive areas

All units are skid-mounted for easy transport and positioning and can be used as standalone systems or integrated into a broader heating solution tailored to your site.

Electric Blower Heaters (21kW) 

Compact yet powerful, our electric blower heaters are designed for fast, targeted heating. These units are:

• Stackable for space efficiency

• Easy to deploy and reposition

• Ideal for drying, spot heating or supplementing larger systems

Each unit delivers high-output warm air, and multiple units can be used to meet larger heating demands. Their electric operation makes them suitable for indoor use where ventilation or emissions control is a concern.

Why hire from Coates?

When it comes to temporary heating, selecting a partner with technical expertise and proven operational capability is essential.

Coates offers more than just equipment – we deliver engineered solutions that are tailored to your site’s specific thermal, spatial and operational requirements.

Scalable solutions

Our modular heating systems are designed for flexibility. Whether you want to heat a room or an entire building, we’ll select the right equipment for your application.

Precision control

Energy efficient heat pump chillers can be used to provide finer control over varying heat loads. “This not only improves energy efficiency but also supports better staging and load balancing – critical for environments where thermal stability is essential, such as curing processes or temperature-sensitive storage,” explains Kurt.

Expert support

Our Power & HVAC specialists work closely with you to assess site conditions, load requirements and environmental constraints. From system design and equipment selection to commissioning and on-site installation, we ensure your heating solution is safe, compliant and optimised for performance.
