Zinger Winger Deluxe 3000 Side Entry Crate (DX3000-2-SD)
Give your dog the protection, comfort, and durability they deserve with the Zinger Winger Deluxe 3000 Side Entry Crate (DX3000-2-SD)—a premium, lightweight aluminum dog crate built with safety and convenience in mind. Designed especially for smaller breeds like Beagles, Australian Shepherds, and Collies, this Deluxe model offers enhanced ventilation, secure locking features, and a beautiful, rugged finish that stands up to the demands of travel, training, or daily use at home.
As part of Zinger’s trusted Deluxe series, the DX3000-2-SD is crafted for pet owners who prioritize durability but still need portability. Its all-aluminum body is lighter than steel while still offering far superior strength to plastic or wire crates. The DX3000-2-SD features a side-entry door for flexible access and integrates advanced ventilation and modular design for multi-crate setups. Whether you’re transporting your dog across town or need a long-term solution for secure housing, the Zinger Deluxe 3000 delivers performance, protection, and peace of mind.
Key Features:
Durable, Lightweight Aluminum Construction:
Crafted from aircraft-grade aluminum, this crate provides outstanding strength at just a third of the weight of steel. It’s light enough to be moved by one person but tough enough to resist impacts, wear, and even rough handling during travel. Compared to standard plastic and wire crates, Zinger’s aluminum build ensures long-term use with zero compromise on structural integrity.
Side Entry with Reversible Door:
The DX3000-2-SD model features a side-entry door placed along the long side of the crate, giving you flexible placement options in vehicles or home setups. The door can be centered or offset and is completely reversible—easily installed to open from either the left or the right depending on your preference or layout.
Flush-Mounted, Keyed Slam Latch:
Each crate comes equipped with a heavy-duty, stainless steel slam latch that locks securely and is keyed for added safety. This locking mechanism prevents unauthorized access and deters potential crate theft when you’re not nearby. The flush design also prevents snagging or damage during transport.
Ventilation for Maximum Comfort:
Designed with triple rows of ventilation holes along both the top and bottom of the solid side walls, and combined with open airflow through the front door, the DX3000-2-SD ensures optimal ventilation even in warmer weather. Aluminum’s natural ability to dissipate heat, paired with strategic venting, helps regulate your dog’s temperature while inside.
Modular Compatibility:
All Zinger crates, including the DX3000-2-SD, are built with a modular framework that allows them to be securely stacked or joined side by side. Whether you're managing multiple dogs or outfitting a professional kennel or vehicle, this crate system adapts to your setup needs.
Solid Reinforced Door:
The door is fortified with welded solid bars and a full-length stainless steel piano hinge for unbeatable strength. Reinforcement ensures long-lasting function even in high-use situations or with dogs that like to push or paw at the door.
High-Quality Silver Hammertone Finish:
Finished with a baked-on “Silver Hammertone” powder coat, this crate is protected inside and out from scratches, weathering, and aluminum oxidation. Unlike untreated aluminum that can discolor your dog’s coat with silvery residue, Zinger’s powder coating prevents oxidation and keeps your dog clean and comfortable.
Ideal Size for Smaller Breeds:
Measuring 21” W x 24” H x 30” L, the Deluxe 3000 crate is ideal for small to medium-sized breeds. When measuring your dog, be sure to account for a few extra inches in height and length to ensure comfort and mobility within the crate.
Resistant to Rust and Corrosion:
All hardware, including the door latch, hinges, and mounting pieces, are made from stainless steel—giving you confidence that this crate will stand up to humidity, rain, or extended outdoor use without corroding or losing function.
