The Slab on Ground brochure provides an overview of Danley's extensive range of load transferring systems and the features and benefits of each.
Design and engineering experts widely acknowledge that the floor is the most
important component of a warehouse or distribution centre. The capabilities of the
floor are determined by storage and racking systems and the sophistication of the
vehicles used to handle the warehouse contents.
Poorly positioned joints or cracks in high-traffic areas can:
• Slow down the movement of forklifts and other materials handling equipment
• Cause unnecessary wear to tyres, wheels and bearings
• Potentially cause instability with loads
Uneven floors can also result in the same negative effects and slow down production –
adding to running and maintenance costs.
Why use high performance dowels?
Dowels are required at joints in concrete slabs to transfer vertical loads across the joint
and minimise differential deflection between slabs under load.
