Dowel Cradles

Dowel Cradles

Custom Dowel Cradles are prefabricated load transfer systems tailored to project specifications for high-precision dowel placement across concrete joints. Each cradle is engineered to meet or exceed AU/NZ standards and is available in multiple configurations to support various dowel diameters, lengths, and project load demands.

Constructed from durable materials, these custom systems feature load transfer bars, precision alignment wires, and secure height-adjustable base frameworks. This design reduces vertical displacement and mitigates the risk of cracking, ensuring the long-term performance of concrete slabs.

Ideal for contraction joints in large-scale slabs, Danterr’s Custom Dowel Cradles support efficient slab movement without compromising load distribution. Available with temporary or permanent capping options, they’re suitable for both industrial flooring and civil infrastructure.
