Key Features:
Lightweight Yet Heavy-Duty Aluminum Build:
Made from aircraft-grade aluminum, the DX4500-2-SS is significantly lighter than comparable steel crates—about one-third the weight—while retaining exceptional strength. This makes it a go-to option for owners who need to move or transport the crate frequently without compromising structural integrity.
Dual Side Entry (SS) Access Points:
This Side Side Entry model features two full-size doors located on opposing side faces of the crate. Each door is available in either centered or offset configurations to suit your space and access preferences. Every door is fully reversible and can swing open from either the left or the right, enhancing usability in a variety of settings including vehicles, kennels, or home use.
Keyed Slam Latch System for Security:
Each door is equipped with a flush-mounted, keyed slam latch to keep your pet secure, even when unattended. The latches are built from stainless steel, offering a corrosion-resistant and tamper-proof locking solution that ensures no one can simply open the crate and walk away with your dog.
Triple Ventilation Rows for Maximum Airflow:
The DX4500-2-SS includes three rows of upper and lower ventilation holes on its solid non-door sides, in addition to full venting through the back panel and open bar-style doors. This open airflow design helps regulate temperature and keep your dog cool and comfortable, especially during long stays or travel.
Modular Compatibility:
Zinger crates are designed to be stackable and connectable side-by-side, allowing users to build multi-crate configurations for professional setups, training facilities, or transport vehicles. This modular flexibility makes them ideal for breeders, handlers, and kennel operators.
Powder-Coated Interior and Exterior:
To prevent aluminum oxidation—which can discolor your dog’s coat—the crate is coated inside and out with a baked-on Silver Hammertone powder finish. This not only enhances durability and visual appeal, but also eliminates the risk of residue rubbing off on your pet’s fur, a common issue in untreated metal crates.
Reinforced Solid Steel Doors:
The doors feature welded reinforcement bars and are mounted using a full-length piano hinge and striker plate for unmatched durability. Built to withstand wear and tear from even the strongest dogs, these doors offer long-term reliability in any environment.
