PD3® Dowel Cradle

Longer life cycle: Pavements and concrete floors which last longer thanks to a superior standard of construction
Minimises common issues: Controls the natural characteristics of concrete. Less joint restraint, faulting, spalling, curling, and shrinking.
Optimised joint stability: Less than 0.25mm deflection with lift truck traffic, even with small hard wheel

Save time – Dowels are preassembled in cradles for accurate placement

Easy to install – One person installation (<10 kg) whilst concrete is placed

Superior Joints – Minimised restraint and high load transfer across slabs (>90%) with exceptional long-term joint stability (<0.25 mm deflection possible)

For unrivalled joint stability in sawn free-movement joints, Danley has created the PD3® Dowel Cradle. This performance-engineered tapered and sleeveless plate dowel offers best-in-class performance in limiting joint deflection. In fact, the PD3® Dowel Cradle provides the highest possible deflection control tolerance in accordance with ACI Standards.

The obvious choice for concrete contractors and engineers looking to secure the best serviceability outcome for their slab design, the Danley PD3® Dowel Cradle reduces joint spalling, facilitates load transfer and delivers the lowest risk of restraint achievable, when compared to all other products on the market.

Features

Easy placing: Spacing, centering and height of dowels in preset within wire cradles which are easy to move and place
Generous installation tolerances: Plate dowels alternate to maximise percentage of steel at the joint
Close steel-to-concrete contact: De-bonding material allows for shrinkage without restraint and eliminates the need for a plastic sleeve
6mm or 10mm dowel thickness: Select the dowel that is right for your project. They are spaced 500mm apart in 2250mm cradles (five per cradle)
