CNL Dowel Cradle Plate 6-10x50x300mm Galv

Dowel cradles are used for load transfer in saw cut contraction joints. They are a welded wire assembly that ensures the horizontal and vertical alignment of dowels at the correct spacing and height. Maintaining correct alignment of dowels across the joint is recognised as being the most important aspect of forming a dowelled joint.

Connolly Dowel Cradles are produced with either round, square or plate dowels. All dowel cradles are supplied with a de-bonding sleeve to one half of the dowel to allow for contraction. Square and plate dowel cradles also allow for lateral movement.

Manufactured in 3 m lengths from 6 mm wire, dowel cradles are available in a wide range of configurations to suit a variety of slab thicknesses and load requirements. They form a rigid assembly capable of withstanding the harsh treatment they frequently encounter during construction activities. They are easy to transport, handle and install, saving both time and money for the contractor. Dowel Cradles can also be custom manufactured to suit any specific configuration. ​
