Zinger Winger Deluxe 4500 Side Entry Crate (DX4500-2-SD)
When safety, portability, and performance matter most, the Zinger Winger Deluxe 4500 Side Entry Crate (DX4500-2-SD) stands out as the go-to choice for pet owners who demand strength without sacrificing convenience. Designed to accommodate medium to large breeds like German Shepherds, Chesapeake Bay Retrievers, and Bully breeds, the DX4500-2-SD offers an ideal blend of lightweight aluminum construction, security-focused features, and everyday functionality. Whether you're traveling, training, or looking for a reliable crate at home, this model is engineered to deliver.
The Deluxe series is Zinger’s most affordable crate line, yet it holds nothing back when it comes to durability. Each crate is crafted from aircraft-grade aluminum and finished with a high-durability powder coat for long-term resistance to wear and corrosion. With modular stacking options, a secure slam latch, and built-in ventilation, the DX4500-2-SD is a professional-grade crate that meets the needs of the most discerning dog owners.
Key Features:
Durable Aluminum Frame, Ultra Lightweight:
Constructed with aircraft-grade aluminum, the Zinger Deluxe 4500 offers outstanding durability while staying light enough for easy transport. Weighing a fraction of what steel crates do, this model allows a single person to lift and maneuver the crate without strain—ideal for owners who frequently travel or move the crate between locations.
Perfect for Medium-Large Breeds:
Measuring 24” wide x 30” high x 38” long, the DX4500-2-SD is designed to house medium-large dog breeds comfortably. It’s perfectly sized for active dogs who require more space to move and rest, making it an excellent fit for German Shepherds, Retrievers, and strong, muscular breeds like American Bullies.
Side Door Entry with Reversible Swing:
The long-side, side-entry door provides improved placement flexibility, especially when fitting crates into vehicles or tight spaces. The door can be mounted in either a centered or offset position, and the hinge direction is fully reversible, allowing you to open it from the left or right—whichever suits your setup best.
Secure Slam Latch with Key Locking:
Each crate door is equipped with a stainless steel, flush-mounted slam latch that is keyed for added security. This ensures the door can’t be accidentally opened or tampered with—an essential feature for high-energy or escape-prone dogs. The stainless steel latch resists corrosion, providing consistent performance even in damp or outdoor conditions.
Triple Row Ventilation for Maximum Airflow:
Your dog’s comfort is a priority, which is why the DX4500-2-SD includes three rows of vent holes along the top and bottom of the non-barred sides, in addition to full rear ventilation. This thoughtful design allows for natural airflow to travel through the crate, keeping your dog cool, relaxed, and well-ventilated in any environment.
Modular and Stackable Design:
Ideal for multi-dog homes or professional use, the Deluxe 4500 crate can be stacked or linked side by side with other Zinger models to create a custom kennel system. Whether you're building out a vehicle setup or managing multiple dogs at home, this crate integrates seamlessly with others in the Zinger lineup.
Premium Powder-Coated Finish Inside and Out:
Finished in Zinger’s signature Silver Hammertone powder coating, this crate resists scratches, fading, and corrosion. Unlike untreated aluminum, which can oxidize and transfer residue onto your dog’s coat, the powder-coated surface remains clean and protects your pet from discoloration. The coating is baked on at high temperatures to ensure long-lasting performance.
Solid, Reinforced Door Construction:
Built to stand up to rough use and strong dogs, the crate door features solid welded bars and is mounted using a full-length stainless steel piano hinge and striker plate. This design ensures long-term alignment and prevents sagging, even with repeated pressure or movement.
