Thorair supplies commercial LGR dehumidifiers, air movers, HEPA air scrubbers and thermal imaging cameras to restoration companies, builders, strata managers and homeowners across Cairns and Far North Queensland. Every unit ships from our Queensland warehouse with same-day dispatch, SAA and ASA certification and a two-year replacement warranty, and delivery to Cairns typically takes five to seven business days.
Drying buildings in Cairns
Cairns is the wettest of Australia's major cities, with tropical humidity above 75 per cent for most of the year and a wet season that can deliver a metre of rain in a month. Houses on stumps in Edge Hill and Whitfield, block homes in the southern suburbs and the resorts of Port Douglas and Palm Cove all fight mould constantly, and anything that floods in Far North Queensland has to be dried fast before it grows.
Cyclone Jasper in December 2023 brought record flooding to the Barron River, Holloways Beach, Machans Beach, Kuranda and Wujal Wujal and cut the city off for days. Cyclone Yasi in 2011 and the annual monsoon floods across the Cassowary Coast, Innisfail and Tully keep local restorers busy every summer.

Frequently asked questions
Which dehumidifier suits a Cairns resort or apartment?
The 70L handles a two-bedroom apartment or a run of hotel rooms; the 90L is the right choice for restaurants, function rooms and open-plan villas. Pair either with a HEPA air scrubber during mould remediation.
How long is freight to Cairns and the Tablelands?
Five to seven business days by road after same-day dispatch. Deliveries to Port Douglas, Atherton and Innisfail add about a day. Ask us about air freight for urgent single units.
Do you supply equipment to Cape York communities?
Yes. We regularly quote freight to Weipa, Cooktown, Thursday Island and other remote communities through barge and air services.
