DOWEL CRADLES

Connolly, the leading supplier of key joint and jointing accessories in Australia, has extended their product range to include Dowel Cradle assemblies. The use of Dowel Cradles is becoming popular for use with saw cut joints on large industrial projects.

Dowel Cradles, sometimes called dowel baskets, ensure that accurate horizontal and vertical alignment of dowels is maintained during concrete placement. Maintaining correct alignment of dowels across the joint is recognised as being the most important aspect of forming a doweled joint.

Connolly dowel cradles are produced with either round, square or plate dowels in most popular lengths and slab depths or they can be made to your specific individual slab requirements. Where square or plate dowels are specified, Connolly dowel sleeves are used as part of the cradle system to allow lateral movement of the dowels along the joint line.

Made from 6mm wire, the cradles form a rigid assembly capable of withstanding the harsh treatment they frequently encounter during construction activities. Made in standard 3.0m lengths they are easy to transport, handle and install, saving both time and money for the contractor.

To assist you there is a dowel cradle quote sheet (click on link below) which can be used to order cradles and show details of available cradle specifications and sizes.
