Zinger Winger Deluxe 4500 Front Back Entry
The Zinger Winger Deluxe 4500 Front Back Entry (DX4500-2-FB) is expertly designed for dog owners and professionals who demand maximum durability, security, and flexibility in a lightweight form. Built from aircraft-grade aluminum, this crate offers the ideal combination of strength and portability, making it a perfect choice for traveling, training, or at-home use. Whether you’re heading to a competition, working in the field, or simply looking for a secure daily crate, the Deluxe 4500 is built to perform in any environment.
As part of Zinger’s lightest and most affordable series, the Deluxe line prioritizes ease of handling without sacrificing the toughness and quality expected from Zinger products. The 4500 model is sized for medium to large dog breeds such as German Shepherds, Bully breeds, and Chesapeake Bay Retrievers. It offers spacious interior dimensions of 24 inches wide, 30 inches high, and 38 inches long—ideal for dogs that require extra headroom or a bit more space to relax. To ensure proper sizing, Zinger recommends measuring your dog and adding a comfort buffer to allow room for movement, standing, and turning around.
Key Features:
Lightweight Yet Incredibly Strong:
Constructed from precision-welded aircraft-grade aluminum, the DX4500-2-FB provides a robust, long-lasting frame that’s built to endure daily wear, travel, and outdoor exposure. Despite its strength, this crate weighs significantly less than a steel equivalent—making it easy for one person to lift and relocate without strain. Ideal for those who frequently load or unload crates into vehicles or adjust kennel setups.
Front and Back Entry with Reversible Doors:
Designed for convenience, this model features two access doors—one on each short side. Both doors are completely reversible, allowing you to customize the door swing direction based on your space or setup. Whether you're placing the crate in a vehicle, lining multiple crates side by side, or positioning it in a tight corner, the dual-entry feature gives you maximum accessibility from any angle.
Lockable Stainless Steel Slam Latches:
Security is a top priority with Zinger crates. Each door includes a flush-mounted slam latch made from high-quality stainless steel. These latches are keyed for added protection, ensuring your dog remains secure when left unattended. The smooth, single-motion latch mechanism also makes it quick and easy to close and lock the door in seconds.
Superior Ventilation for Comfort:
To keep your dog cool and comfortable, the Deluxe 4500 features three rows of ventilation holes along the upper and lower sections of each non-barred side, as well as additional airflow from the front and rear doors. The open design allows fresh air to circulate freely, and aluminum’s natural heat-dissipating properties help regulate the interior temperature. This crate is ideal for warmer climates, travel, or active dogs that need plenty of air movement.
Modular and Stackable Design:
Like all Zinger crates, the DX4500-2-FB is modular—meaning it can be stacked or placed side by side with other Zinger units to build kennel systems. Whether you’re outfitting a professional training facility, a mobile unit, or just creating a clean, efficient multi-dog setup at home, this crate offers the flexibility you need.
Durable Powder-Coated Finish:
Finished in Zinger’s signature Silver Hammertone powder coat, the crate is protected both inside and out. This baked-on coating resists scratching, corrosion, and fading over time, and also prevents the oxidation that untreated aluminum can leave on your dog’s coat. No more silvery residue or discoloration—just clean, safe, professional-grade performance.
Heavy-Duty Solid Doors:
Each door is reinforced with welded bars and includes a full-length piano hinge and rugged striker plate for long-term durability. These doors are built to withstand pulling, pawing, and years of use without warping or loosening. The reversible design also means you can adjust your crate configuration over time to suit changing needs.
