The SF120 assumes neither. It is a portable radiant heater on wheels, and its electrical requirement can be met by a \u003cstrong\u003e12 V\u003c\/strong\u003e pure sine inverter of 800 W or more, or by a generator, as readily as by a \u003cstrong\u003e120 V\u003c\/strong\u003e supply at \u003cstrong\u003e60 Hz\u003c\/strong\u003e. The electrics run the fan, the pump and the controls — the heat comes from the fuel.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThat single design decision is why this unit turns up in places a fixed appliance cannot go: a shell being fitted out, a rented bay where nothing may be installed, a job site, a paddock, a wash bay with the doors open, or a second building that only needs heat six days a year.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eRadiant, and why it matters with the door open\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eA forced-air heater warms air, and warm air leaves through an open bay door about as fast as you can make it. A radiant heater warms surfaces — the floor, the equipment, the vehicle, the people — and those surfaces then hold and re-release the heat. In a building that is sealed, the difference is modest. In a building that is being opened every ten minutes, it is the whole ball game, because the heat you paid for is stored in the concrete rather than sitting at the ceiling waiting to escape.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIt also explains why the SF120 is usable indoors at all. It is described as low-noise, smokeless and odorless, and the manufacturer's claim on emissions is precise: \u003cstrong\u003ezero CO emissions when properly tuned and at steady state temperature\u003c\/strong\u003e. Read that as written — it is a claim about a correctly set-up unit at running temperature, not a blanket statement, and it is not a substitute for the ventilation any combustion appliance needs. Tuning is not optional on this machine; it is the condition attached to the claim.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eMoving it, which is the point\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePortability on heaters is usually a caster and a hope. This one is specified properly for it.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIt weighs \u003cstrong\u003e120 lbs\u003c\/strong\u003e dry and \u003cstrong\u003e210 lbs\u003c\/strong\u003e with a full tank — a spread worth planning around, because a full unit is a two-person push and an empty one is not. It rides on \u003cstrong\u003erubber flat-free wheels\u003c\/strong\u003e, which is the correct answer for a yard covered in swarf, screws and broken glass, and the handle collapses so it can be stored or transported without catching on everything. And it carries a \u003cstrong\u003elifting bracket\u003c\/strong\u003e, so it can be picked up by crane, sling or forklift rather than manhandled up onto a truck bed.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAssembled dimensions are 32\"L x 28.5\"W x 33.75\"H, which is a footprint that fits in the back of most work vehicles.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eFuel and run time\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eDual fuel: it runs on diesel or kerosene, which matters more than it sounds when you are working somewhere remote and taking whatever the local supplier stocks. Flow rate is listed as .85 GPH on diesel or #2 fuel oil and .78 GPH on kerosene, from a \u003cstrong\u003e14 gallon\u003c\/strong\u003e tank, giving approximately 16 hours of running on high — a full working day and the night before it, so the shop can be warm when the first shift arrives without anyone refuelling at 5am.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eOutput is 120,000 BTUH, rated to heat up to 2,800 sq. ft.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eControl and safety\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe SF120 accepts any standard mechanical or battery-operated wall thermostat, which converts it from a heater you switch on into one that holds a temperature. One instruction from the specification is worth repeating because getting it wrong will cost you a thermostat: \u003cstrong\u003edo not use a thermostat that requires 120 V to operate\u003c\/strong\u003e. Mechanical or battery types only.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eA \u003cstrong\u003etip switch\u003c\/strong\u003e is fitted as standard and shuts the unit down if it is knocked over — a meaningful feature on a portable appliance that lives among moving vehicles and trailing air lines rather than bolted to a wall.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe specification also records the unit as \u003cstrong\u003eUL listed\u003c\/strong\u003e, and states that it is manufactured in the USA.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003ePerfect For\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eRented workshops and leased bays\u003c\/strong\u003e where a flue penetration or a fixed appliance is not permitted.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eConstruction and site work\u003c\/strong\u003e — run it from a generator or a 12 V inverter where there is no building supply yet.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eWash bays, detail bays and paint prep areas\u003c\/strong\u003e that are open to the outside for much of the day.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eAgricultural and equipment yards\u003c\/strong\u003e, moving between a shed, a shop and an outdoor work area.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eAny shop with a second building\u003c\/strong\u003e that needs heat occasionally and cannot justify a permanent installation.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eEvents, race paddocks and mobile service operations\u003c\/strong\u003e where the heater travels with the crew.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003ctable\u003e \u003ctbody\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eModel\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003eSF120\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eHeat range\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003e120,000 BTUH\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eHeating area\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003eUp to 2,800 sq. ft.\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eFuel\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003eDual fuel — diesel or kerosene\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eFlow rate\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003e.85 GPH diesel \/ #2 fuel oil; .78 GPH kerosene\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eTank\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003e14 gallon\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eRun time\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003eApprox. 16 hours on high\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eAssembled size\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003e32\"L x 28.5\"W x 33.75\"H\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eWeight\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003e120 lbs dry \/ 210 lbs full tank\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eElectrical\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003e120 V, 1.2 A, 60 Hz — or a 12 V pure sine inverter, 800 W minimum\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eThermostat\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003eAny standard mechanical or battery-operated wall thermostat\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eManufactured\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003eUSA\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003c\/tbody\u003e \u003c\/table\u003e \u003ch3\u003eCertification, and the limits of it\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis unit's specification records it as UL listed, and it is the only heater on this part of our catalogue whose data actually carries that claim, so we are repeating it as recorded rather than assuming it.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWhat a listing does not do is worth knowing. It is an appliance-level safety assessment; it is not a statement that any particular use is permitted in your building. Portable combustion heaters are subject to local fire code, to landlord and insurer conditions, and in some workplaces to specific rules about running them indoors or unattended. The zero-CO claim above is likewise conditional on the unit being properly tuned and at temperature. Ventilate, follow the manual, and check your local requirements before you rely on it indoors.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eShipping and Delivery\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eShips as freight within the lower 48 states, free of charge. Plan the unloading before you order: this arrives crated and getting it off the truck is the customer's responsibility, so you want a forklift, a dock, or an arrangement to collect it from the carrier's terminal. Tell us if the delivery address is residential, because residential delivery is a separate service with a fee attached. When it arrives, inspect the crate before you sign — note any damage on the bill of lading at handover, photograph it, and keep the packaging until you have run the unit. A clean signature is very difficult to unwind later.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eWarranty\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe manufacturer's warranty applies.
