Hydro-Thaw ® Mobile Ground Defroster

Bring your winter construction site to a work-ready state quickly, efficiently, and safely.  Just lay the hose over the area to be thawed and cover with curing blankets.  As the 50% propylene glycol (a low-toxicity anti-freeze) heats up, it is pumped through the hose, thawing the ground.  The HYDRO-THAW can thaw up to 6,000 sq. ft. of frozen ground, 12 inches deep, per day.*
