PD3™ Dowel Cradle

PD3™ Dowel Cradle

Danterr PD3™ dowel cradles are high-performance dowel cradles engineered to deliver superior load transfer and deflection control at concrete slab contraction joints. The system uses tapered, sleeveless plate dowels bonded to a welded wire cradle to maintain precise alignment during the pour, improving performance across each concrete dowel joint. With direct steel-to-concrete contact and no plastic sleeves, PD3™ dowel cradles achieve high load transfer efficiency while reducing joint deterioration over time.

Designed for demanding slab-on-grade applications, PD3™ dowel cradles are manufactured from mild steel to AS/NZS 3679.1 and galvanised to AS/NZS 4680. The range supports concrete dowels in 6 mm, 10 mm, and 20 mm plate thicknesses, with centre spacing options of 300 mm, 400 mm, or 450 mm to suit varying slab depths and loading conditions. Integrated RynoBar™ technology improves site efficiency by eliminating manual removal at saw cuts, making PD3 dowel cradles well suited to industrial floors, warehouses, logistics facilities, and high-tolerance Super Flat Floor applications.

Custom dowel cradle configurations are also available for projects requiring non-standard dowel sizes or specifications.

Key Features and Benefits

  • Sleeveless plate dowels: Direct steel-to-concrete contact improves deflection control.

  • Superior load transfer: Delivers ≥95% efficiency under recognised ACI testing methods.

  • Controlled slab movement: Accommodates ±5 mm lateral movement for 6 mm and 10 mm plate dowels, and ±8 mm for 20 mm plate dowels.

  • Precise dowel alignment: Welded wire cradle maintains accurate positioning during the pour.

  • RynoBar™ technology: Sacrificial travel bar breaks cleanly at the saw cut, removing manual cutting.

  • Improved joint durability: Reduces spalling, cracking, and long-term joint maintenance.

  • Supports high flatness floors: Suitable for Super Flat Floor applications and tight tolerance slabs.

  • Flexible centre spacing: Available at 300 mm, 400 mm, or 450 mm centres to suit slab design.

  • Heavy-duty slab capability: Plate thickness options of 6 mm, 10 mm, and 20 mm for demanding loads.

  • Standards compliant construction: Manufactured to AS/NZS 3679.1 and galvanised to AS/NZS 4680.
