Tioga Air Heaters, LLC has been a leader in the design and manufacturing of air heating solutions for over 55 years. Founded in 1961 by Ernest 'Goober' Muckelrath in Tioga, North Dakota, the company was established out of necessity when Goober created a heater to withstand the harsh cold faced by oilfield workers. The demand for effective heating solutions soon led to the growth of Tioga Air Heaters, which quickly became known for its robust, safe, and dependable air heaters suited for some of the world's most extreme environments, including the Arctic Circle.
The company offers a variety of heaters, including Direct Fired Heaters and Skid Mounted Units, tailored to meet the specific needs of various industries such as oil and gas, mining, and utility power generation. Tioga’s heaters are designed to operate efficiently in temperatures as low as -40°F, ensuring they provide processed air at 200°F even in frigid conditions. This durability and reliability make Tioga heaters a preferred choice among industries that require continuous operation regardless of weather challenges.
Tioga has continually evolved its products by incorporating customer feedback from its own rental fleet, maintained by sister company Mobile Air & Power Rentals. This unique competitive advantage allows Tioga to refine its heaters based on real-world performance, enhancing their safety, efficiency, and reliability over time.
The company's commitment to quality has been reaffirmed through several ownership changes and expansions. After a period of growth and success throughout the 1990s and into the early 2000s, Tioga underwent strategic acquisitions to further enhance its capabilities. Today, Tioga Air Heaters remains dedicated to producing top-tier air heaters that meet the rigorous demands of industries worldwide, while still honoring the legacy of innovation and reliability begun by its founder.
