ThawDawg ground thaw unit from Ground Specialties

At Ground Specialties Inc, we help spring come early.

Frost is the natural enemy of anyone working in the earth. In Wisconsin, frost can come early and hard, frustrating construction schedules or planned digging. ThawDawg allows your team to dig year-round.

Why Choose ThawDawg

Keep your team moving even in the coldest times of the year. ThawDawg cuts through the frost at a rate of 1”/hour using just a standard 20 lbs. LP tank. ThawDawg is easy to handle for two people, and comes in two sizes: 36”x54” or 48”x54”

Our ground thawing units are made of double-insulated rolled-steel hulls, which keep it cool to the touch. With an additional heater head coupled to each unit, blow-out resistance, and no moving parts to break/repair, ThawDawg is an essential tool for anyone digging in the frozen ground.

Ground Thawing Use Cases

Our clients range from construction crews to utility companies, cemeteries to concrete pourers, as well as sign and fencing installers. Wherever you need unfrozen earth to work with, ThawDawg is the right choice to speed up the thawing process.
