Connolly Dowel Cradles

Connolly 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.
