Paving contractors who work with concrete dowel bars will find the O-Dowel an appealing choice for its ease of installation. At less than half the weight of a conventional dowel basket, the O-Dowel tubular dowel bar basket’s lighter weight allows for increased dowel bar basket installation rates and results in easier transfer from trailer to road bed.

Lighter weights also reduce the risk of injuries commonly associated with handling dowel basket assemblies, potentially reducing workers’ compensation costs. Lastly, O-Dowel tubular dowels are compatible with automatic dowel bar inserters.
