Product Description
Dowel cradles are essential for efficient load transfer in saw-cut contraction joints, providing superior strength and durability. Designed as a welded wire assembly, they ensure accurate horizontal and vertical alignment of dowels, maintaining the correct spacing and height for reliable joint performance.
Proper alignment of dowels is widely recognized as the most critical factor in forming a durable and high-performing dowelled joint system. This ensures structural integrity and long-term performance in concrete slabs.
Connolly Dowel Cradles are available with round, square, or plate dowels, offering versatile options to meet different project needs. Each cradle comes with a de-bonding sleeve on one side to accommodate contraction, while square and plate dowel cradles additionally allow for lateral movement, enhancing flexibility in slab performance.
Manufactured in 3-metre lengths using 6mm wire, these dowel cradles are offered in multiple configurations to suit different slab thicknesses and load requirements. Built to withstand the harsh conditions of construction, they form a rigid assembly that is easy to transport, handle, and install, saving contractors both time and costs. Custom-manufactured options are also available, ensuring dowel cradles can be tailored to any specific project configuration.
