Zinger Winger Deluxe 3000 Front Entry Crate
Combining lightweight portability with heavy-duty security, the Zinger Winger Deluxe 3000 Front Entry Crate (DX3000-2-FD) is a premium aluminum dog crate tailored for smaller dog breeds that need reliable containment without sacrificing comfort. As part of Zinger’s Deluxe Series—the lightest and most cost-effective line—the 3000 model is perfect for home use, travel, or professional settings where strength, safety, and ease of transport are essential.
Made from aircraft-grade aluminum and finished in Zinger’s signature Silver Hammertone powder coat, this crate is designed to stand up to years of wear without compromising your pet’s comfort or your peace of mind. Its compact dimensions and smart ventilation system make it a favorite among owners of Beagles, Collies, and Australian Shepherds alike.
Key Features:
Aircraft-Grade Aluminum Construction
The DX3000-2-FD is constructed from strong yet lightweight .065” aircraft-grade aluminum, offering durability that far surpasses plastic or wire crates. Weighing significantly less than steel options, it’s easy for one person to lift and maneuver—even when traveling or moving crates frequently.
Optimized for Small Dog Breeds
Designed with smaller breeds in mind, this crate measures 21" W x 24" H x 30" L—ideal for dogs such as Australian Shepherds, Beagles, and Collies. When selecting a crate size, be sure to allow for a few extra inches of height and length to give your dog room to stretch, sit, and turn around comfortably.
Front Entry Access
The Front Door (FD) design places a secure, easy-access door on the front of the crate, ideal for setups where side entry isn’t practical. As with all Zinger doors, it is completely reversible, allowing for left or right side opening based on your preference or layout.
Advanced Ventilation System
This model includes three rows of vent holes along the top and bottom of each long side (non-door panels), ensuring superior airflow. Combined with the open-bar front door and vented back panel, this setup maximizes circulation to keep your dog cool and comfortable.
Keyed Slam Latch for Security
The door is equipped with a flush-mounted slam latch that’s key-lockable for maximum security—perfect for travel, kennels, or any situation where your dog needs to stay contained. Made entirely from stainless steel, the locking hardware resists rust and ensures long-term performance.
Stackable and Modular Design
Whether you own one dog or several, the DX3000 can grow with your needs. All ZINGER crates are modular, meaning they can be stacked or placed side by side to create efficient kennel banks, making them ideal for dog trainers, boarding facilities, and breeders.
Protective Powder Coat Finish
Each crate is finished with Zinger’s durable Silver Hammertone powder coating inside and out. Unlike untreated aluminum crates, this protective finish prevents oxidation that can discolor your dog’s coat and ensures a sleek, clean appearance for years to come.
Heavy-Duty Reinforced Door
Built to last, the front door is reinforced with welded bars and solid paneling. A full-length piano hinge and striker plate provide extra strength and smooth operation, while also allowing the door to be reversed for left- or right-hand access based on your needs.
