When it comes to providing ultimate security and comfort for large and extra-large dogs, the Zinger Winger Deluxe 5500 Side Entry Crate (DX5500-2-SD) is the ideal solution. Engineered specifically for breeds like the Great Pyrenees, Tosas, Dogue de Bordeaux, and Rottweilers, this heavy-duty aluminum crate offers all the features you need to keep your dog safe, secure, and comfortable. With Zinger's signature Deluxe line being both lightweight and incredibly durable, this crate is the perfect balance of affordability and strength, making it an excellent choice for owners who need a reliable crate for their extra-large dogs.
Zinger crates are designed for strength and longevity, constructed from lightweight aluminum that's one-third the weight of steel but still incredibly strong. The DX5500-2-SD is built to withstand the strength and energy of large, powerful dogs, yet remains easy to handle and transport. Whether you're traveling or need a permanent crate for your dog at home, the DX5500 provides peace of mind with its top-tier security features and comfort.
Key Features:
Durable Aluminum Construction with Lightweight Design:
The DX5500-2-SD is made from aircraft-grade aluminum, offering excellent strength without the added bulk of traditional steel crates. This lightweight design allows one person to easily lift and move the crate, which is perfect for those who need portability. Despite its lightweight nature, the crate doesn't compromise on durability, making it a safe and secure solution for extra-large dog breeds.
Perfect for Extra-Large Breeds:
Measuring 26" wide x 34" high x 42" long, the DX5500-2-SD is specifically designed for large and extra-large dogs, such as Great Pyrenees, Tosas, Dogue de Bordeaux, and Rottweilers. It's important to select the right crate size for your pet to ensure they have enough space to stand, turn around, and lie down comfortably. We recommend adding a "comfort buffer" to your dog's actual height when choosing a crate size.
Side Door Entry with Reversible Swing:
The DX5500 features a side-entry door on the long side of the crate, which allows for easy access and flexibility when placing the crate in your vehicle or home. The door can be mounted in either a centered or offset position and is completely reversible, allowing you to open it from the left or the right side, depending on your space requirements.
Lockable Stainless Steel Slam Latch:
For added security, the DX5500 is equipped with a flush-mounted, keyed slam latch that keeps your dog safely inside the crate. The stainless steel construction ensures durability and corrosion resistance, so you don't have to worry about wear and tear over time. This secure latch system prevents unauthorized access and gives you peace of mind while you're away from your dog.
Superior Ventilation for Maximum Comfort:
This crate is designed with ventilation in mind, featuring three rows of vent holes along the top and bottom of the solid sides, plus full back wall ventilation. This ensures that air flows freely through the crate, keeping your dog cool and comfortable. Since aluminum naturally dissipates heat, this material is ideal for preventing overheating, ensuring your dog remains safe and relaxed in the crate.
Modular and Stackable Design:
Whether you have multiple pets or need to optimize space, the Zinger Winger Deluxe 5500 crate offers modular design options. Crates can be stacked or coupled side by side to create a larger kennel or multi-dog system. This is a great feature for homes with more than one dog or for those running a professional dog care operation.
Durable Silver Hammertone Powder Coat Finish:
The Silver Hammertone powder coating on the DX5500 is baked onto both the interior and exterior surfaces of the crate at high temperatures, ensuring long-lasting durability and resistance to scratches and fading. Unlike untreated aluminum, which can cause discoloration of your dog's coat, the powder-coated finish protects against this issue by preventing oxidation and residue transfer.
Strong and Reinforced Door Construction:
The door of the DX5500 is reinforced with additional welds for added strength, ensuring it can handle the force of even the largest dogs. A full-length piano hinge and striker plate are standard, and the door can be easily reversed to open from either side, depending on your setup.
