How ThawDawg Simplifies Ground Thawing In Wisconsin

ThawDawg instructions and warning labels

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.

The small-footprint Wisconsin ground thawing unit is perfect for cemetery plots, concrete footings, utility work, and more. It can be set up with only two people. Featuring a double-insulated and rolled-steel hull, blow-out resistance, and no moving parts, these ThawDawgs are built to last.

Thaw one-inch of ground per hour with a standard 20 lbs. LP tank.
