Zinger Winger Airline Approved 3500 Crate
The Zinger Winger Airline Approved 3500 (AR-3500-1-FD) is built with traveling pets in mind—delivering all the security and strength of Zinger's signature aluminum construction in a format that complies with IATA 82 airline regulations. Designed for small to mid-sized breeds like Spaniels, Bulldogs, Shetland Sheepdogs, and Australian Cattle Dogs, this crate ensures your pet flies in comfort and safety.
Whether you're headed across the country or around the globe, the AR3500 combines the rugged durability of aircraft-grade aluminum with the required features for airline acceptance, including rails, labels, lock covers, and included water/food bowls. It’s everything you need for hassle-free, worry-free pet air travel.
Key Features:
Airline Approved for Safe Travel:
This crate is fully IATA 82 compliant, making it suitable for airline cargo transport. It comes standard with:
Airline rails (required for lifting and securing)
"Live Animal" travel labels
Spring-loaded, heavy-duty handles
Stainless steel lock and deadbolt covers
Two clip-on plastic bowls for food and water
Sized for Small-Medium Breeds:
Crate dimensions are 21” W x 28” H x 38” L, making it ideal for breeds such as Spaniels, Shetland Sheepdogs, Australian Cattle Dogs, and Bulldogs. Remember to include a comfort buffer between your dog's height and the crate height for a proper fit.
Strong and Lightweight:
Built from .065” aircraft-grade aluminum, the AR3500 is both incredibly strong and lightweight—about one-third the weight of steel. It's easy for one person to handle, yet secure enough for long-haul air travel.
Durable Vented Door:
Each front-mounted, vented door is made from reinforced aluminum with welded bars, a full-length piano hinge, and a striker plate. The door is reversible, allowing either left- or right-hand opening.
Lockable Security Latch:
Includes a flush-mounted, keyed door latch to ensure your dog stays safely secured. Lock and deadbolt covers are also part of the airline travel package, adding protection against tampering during transit.
Ventilation Where It Counts:
The AR3500 features ventilation holes along the top of both non-door sides and an open airflow design through the door. Aluminum’s natural heat dissipation helps regulate temperature during travel, keeping your pet cool and comfortable.
Modular and Stackable Design:
Like all Zinger crates, the AR3500 can be stacked or arranged side-by-side, making it a great solution for homes, kennels, or pet transport companies with multiple dogs.
Protective Powder Coat Finish:
Finished inside and out in Silver Hammertone, a durable oven-baked powder coat that resists wear and tear. The coated surface prevents aluminum oxidation, protecting your dog’s coat from discoloration or irritation.
