Cold Weather Repairs
(Harris & Bros. – August 20, 2010) – Road crews working in cold winter weather require superior equipment and tools to make proper road repairs, especially in climates where temperatures drop to single digits and below zero. For years, Cold Patch Asphalt manufacturers and Pot Hole repair products bragged that their products could be applied in freezing temperatures. For those of us working outdoors in the freezing temps, we know that cold asphalt is very difficult to apply (and keep it sticking) in freezing temperatures. That’s why we use and recommend using Powerblanket material heating blankets to pre-heat cold patch before applying. Several company trucks have the Powerblanket HotBoxes in the bed, where pallets of cold patch are covered with portable heat ovens that can heat just about any temperature sensitive material. Global Industrial has a great price on the item, which includes an internal free standing frame and an adjustable thermostatic controller for precise temperature control. This unit will pay for itself many times over – keeping your jobs on schedule and your workers happy. Preheating our cold patch has literally saved our bacon.
We don’t leave home without it.
