Pile Cage Foot
Designed to exceed the requirements of AS/NZS 2425:2015 for Bar Chairs, the patented Co-Packers Pile Cage Foot ensures correct concrete cover at the bottom of fabricated pile cages.
As pile cages have increased in size and overall weight across many projects, the Pile Cage Foot has been independently tested to higher load ratings to ensure the published load capacities reflect current site conditions. The product design and materials remain unchanged.
Where increased concrete cover is required, the Cage Foot system can be adapted using the Cage Foot Extension, allowing 85mm, 100mm or 150mm configurations without changing the core product.
Key Features
Cage Foot
The 85mm Cage Foot is supplied as a single-piece unit designed to provide stable support and maintain correct cover at the base of fabricated pile cages.
It forms the base component of the Cage Foot system and is compatible with Cage Foot Extensions to achieve increased cover where required.
Cage Foot Extension
The Cage Foot Extension fits securely to the 85mm Cage Foot to increase concrete cover while maintaining the rated load capacity.
This push-on component reduces the need to stock multiple bulky products and provides flexibility across varying project requirements.
The 100mm Cage Foot Extension is stackable, allowing 15mm incremental adjustments to the Cage Foot cover where required.

^Load capacity varies by bar diameter and configuration. Refer to Load Testing Summary below.
Independent testing has confirmed load performance across common reinforcement bar sizes. Advertised load capacities shown below represent conservative values for standard Pile Cage Foot applications
Load Capacity by Rebar Size
| Rebar Diameter | Advertised Load Capacity |
| 20mm dia rebar | 700kg |
| 32mm dia rebar | 1000kg |
| 40mm dia rebar | 1400kg |
For heavier pile cages or higher point loads, an optional Cage Foot with High Load Insert is available.
The insert is supplied pre-installed and is designed to help distribute load more evenly at the base of the cage. It is not required for all applications — the standard Cage Foot remains suitable for most jobs.
