Portable Dryers

Williams Direct Dryers is renowned for our high-quality drying solutions, offering innovative designs, such as portable dryers, that are tailored to meet the needs of various industries. Our portable dryers stand out as a flexible and effective solution for drying boots, gloves, and other essential gear. These dryers are specifically designed to provide mobility and convenience while maintaining the same efficiency and reliability that Williams Direct Dryers is known for.
Why Choose Portable Dryers?
At Williams Direct Dryers, our portable dryers are compact, mobile units that can be easily moved and set up wherever they are needed. Unlike in-locker or rack-mounted dryers, which are fixed installations, our portable dryers are designed for ultimate flexibility. These units are equipped with locking casters (wheels), allowing for easy transportation between locations or within a single facility.
Our portable dryers can accommodate a wide variety of gear, including:
-
Ski boots and glove dryers: Perfect for ski resorts and winter sports facilities.
-
Sports dryers for shoes and other gear: Ideal for sports teams and training centers.
-
Industrial workplace PPE dryers: Essential for industries where workers rely on dry, clean gear, like boots and gloves, for safety and comfort.

The Differences Between Portable, In-Locker, and Rack Dryers
Mobility vs. Fixed Installation
The most notable difference between portable dryers and their in-locker and rack counterparts is mobility. In-locker and rack dryers are stationary systems, installed in designated areas like ski resort locker rooms or sports facilities. While these systems are excellent for large-scale, centralized drying, utilizing vertical wall space for storage and drying, they are not designed for quick relocation.
Portable dryers, on the other hand, are built to be moved easily. This mobility is particularly beneficial for businesses that need to dry gear in multiple locations or on the go, such as ski resorts with multiple rental stations or sports teams traveling for away games.
Flexibility in Use
In-locker dryers are integrated into locker systems, providing each locker with its own drying capability. This is ideal for personalized use, such as ski resorts offering drying services to individual guests. Rack dryers, also known as wall-mount dryers, in contrast, are open systems that can dry multiple items at once, often used in communal areas or large facilities.
Portable dryers help bridge the gap between these two systems by offering flexibility in use. They can be deployed wherever drying is needed most – whether it is in a rental shop, a team’s locker room, or directly on a job site.
Capacity Options
Rack dryers typically offer the same or lower capacity than portable dryers, with portable dryers allowing double-sided design options. In-locker dryers cannot use heated air for safety reasons but provide drying for individual lockers, focusing on personal use.
Portable dryers provide flexibility for slightly more money. They are available in various sizes to meet the needs of different businesses, from small ski shops to large-scale sports facilities and other commercial properties.

The Benefits of Portable Dryers for Commercial Businesses
Ideal for Ski Resorts
Ski resorts often face the challenge of drying large quantities of boots and gloves quickly to prepare for the next group of guests. Portable dryers offer:
-
On-demand drying: They can be placed wherever drying is needed, whether in rental shops, ski lodges, cabins, or near the slopes themselves.
-
Space-saving design: Portable units can be stored away when not in use, freeing up valuable floor space.
-
Can utilize both sides of a dryer: Maximizing space and economy.
Helpful for Sports Teams
Sports teams frequently deal with wet or sweaty gear after practices and games. Portable dryers provide:
-
Quick drying on the go: Teams can potentially take the dryer with them to away games, which helps ensure dry gear no matter the location.
-
Hygiene benefits: Drying gear helps prevent the growth of bacteria and odor, keeping equipment fresher and safer.
Essential for Workplace PPE
Industries that rely on personal protective equipment (PPE), such as construction, firefighting, and manufacturing, benefit greatly from portable dryers. These units help ensure:
-
Dry gear for safety: Wet PPE can compromise safety and comfort, especially in cold weather.
-
Adaptability to job sites: Portable dryers can be transported to different work sites, so workers can always have dry gear.
