Outdoor AED deployments in Canada come with a unique challenge: extreme cold. Sub-zero temperatures can quickly drain AED batteries, stiffen electrode pads, and render a defibrillator unusable when someone suffers sudden cardiac arrest. To ensure lifesaving readiness through harsh conditions, organizations across the country rely on the ROTAID Heated AED Cabinet, available from The AEDShop—Canada’s AED infrastructure leader.
The ROTAID Heated Cabinet is purpose-built for Canada’s climate. Featuring a 92-watt automated heating system with thermostat control, it maintains a safe internal temperature even when outdoor conditions reach –20°C. This protection ensures AEDs remain functional during snowstorms, freezing rain, and long winter nights, making it the top choice for ski resorts, transit stops, oil and gas sites, parks, arenas, and roadside work crews.
Durability extends far beyond temperature control. The cabinet uses a UV-stabilized, double-coated polycarbonate shellthat delivers both IP56 water resistance and IK10 impact protection—the strongest rating on the international scale. This rugged build guards against vandalism, weather exposure, and environmental damage in busy public spaces.
Additional features are designed for real-world Canadian response. LED illumination ensures the AED remains visible in low light or heavy snowfall, while an 84–98 decibel alarm activates as soon as the cabinet is opened—alerting bystanders and improving response coordination.
Every ROTAID Heated Cabinet purchased from The AEDShop integrates with TrackMyAED™, Canada’s most advanced AED monitoring and compliance platform. Administrators gain centralized digital oversight for expiry tracking, readiness logs, and inspection reminders—ensuring outdoor AEDs remain fully operational and compliant with Canadian safety standards.
Whether protecting park trails, school sports fields, ski lifts, highway rest centres, or remote work locations, the ROTAID Heated Cabinet ensures AEDs are never limited by the climate. It’s engineered for the environments where emergencies are most likely to demand quick access—outdoors and year-round.
