THAWZALL™ The Heat Machine
I never would have believed that we would be pouring concrete outside in January, said an engineer for the Postal Service.
Shortly thereafter, he put a thermometer in the gravel base, recorded a temperature of 71° F, and replied 'order the mud.'

New England winters are tough on all of us, but low temperatures and frost is especially tough on contractors. If you have a foundation poured, you can often keep working on a project, but how do you start a new building when you have lots of ground frost? Pulling out your jackhammer is hardly an option.
But now Grants Rental has the solution with the Thawzall™ Heat Machine. 
The Thawzall™ is a fully contained unit which uses a boiler system to heat a biodegradable, environmentally safe propylene glycol mixture. This mixture is then circulated through industrial hydronic hose to put the heat where you need it.
