A paving breaker frost wedge is a specialized tool used in roadwork, construction, and demolition to break or fracture hard materials such as frozen ground, concrete, or asphalt. The frost wedge is designed to work in challenging environments where materials are frozen or extremely hard, often found in colder climates or during the winter months.
- Design: The wedge shape allows the tool to penetrate deeply into the material, initiating cracks that can be further widened for removal. Its most commonly used in cold climates or winter conditions where frozen or hardened surfaces are problematic for conventional tools. Its also used in situations where conventional chisels may not be effective due to the hardness or freezing of the ground or pavement.
- Applications: Used for breaking through ice or frozen soil in construction, roadwork, or utility installation in cold climates. Ideal for breaking through concrete or asphalt that has been hardened due to low temperatures or freezing conditions. Used to break and remove old pavement in winter conditions, or when resurfacing roads in colder environments. Effective for breaking through frozen ground or hardened layers during the installation of underground utilities like pipes and cables.
- Material:Made from high-quality, heat-treated steel for enhanced hardness, impact strength, and long-term durability.
- Configurations: 1″, 1-1/8″ and 1-1/4″ Hex diameter shanks with 4-1/4″ and 6″ shank lengths and 12″ or 17-1/2″ lengths.
