Dowels and sleeves are held by the cradle, aligned and suspended in position, in the middle of the slab at required dowel spacing, thereby ensuring correct positioning and alignment of the individual dowels and sleeves. This prevents slab interlock and cracks forming and ensures maximal level of load transfer through the joint.
