Zinger Winger Deluxe 4000 Front Entry Crate
Designed with both durability and portability in mind, the Zinger Winger Deluxe 4000 Front Entry Crate (DX4000-2-FD) is the perfect solution for dog owners who need a high-quality, secure aluminum crate that doesn’t sacrifice ease of handling. Crafted for medium-sized dog breeds like Labradors and smaller Retrievers, this crate strikes the ideal balance between size, strength, and comfort. Part of Zinger’s trusted Deluxe line, the 4000 model is a cost-effective yet robust option for home use, travel, or professional kennel environments.
The Deluxe series is the lightest of all Zinger models, making it especially suited for those who frequently move or transport their crate. Despite its lighter build, the DX4000 maintains Zinger’s signature aircraft-grade aluminum construction, secure stainless steel hardware, and smart modular features—all while providing ample ventilation and a durable powder-coated finish that protects both the crate and your dog’s coat.
Key Features:
Aircraft-Grade Aluminum Construction
Built from .065” aircraft-grade aluminum, the DX4000 offers remarkable strength while remaining light enough for one person to carry and handle. It’s engineered to last a lifetime without the rust, warping, or degradation common in plastic and wire crates.
Optimized for Medium Breeds
Sized at 24” W x 28” H x 36” L, this crate is tailored for medium-sized breeds such as Labradors and smaller Retrievers. The interior allows for ample movement, comfort, and rest, while still feeling secure and enclosed—perfect for crate-trained dogs or travel-ready pets.
Secure Front Entry Door
The crate features a single front-facing door built with reinforced solid bars for added strength. It includes a flush-mounted slam latch that is key-lockable, ensuring your dog remains safely contained whether at home or on the go. The full-length piano hinge adds durability and enables reversible door orientation for left or right-side opening.
Triple-Zone Ventilation
Ventilation is a standout feature on the DX4000. Each non-door side features three rows of large vent holes on both the upper and lower sections. Additional airflow passes through the door, promoting consistent circulation and temperature regulation—especially important in warmer climates or extended periods inside the crate.
Modular & Stackable Design
All Zinger crates are designed to integrate with one another. The DX4000 can be stacked or arranged side-by-side with other models, allowing for custom kennel setups in homes, training facilities, or veterinary practices.
Premium Silver Hammertone Finish
This crate is finished with a baked-on “Silver Hammertone” powder coat, applied inside and out for maximum durability. Unlike bare aluminum, this coating prevents discoloration of your dog’s coat, which can happen when exposed to oxidized metal. The attractive matte finish also resists wear and gives the crate a clean, professional appearance.
Durable Stainless Steel Hardware
From the keyed slam latch to the mounting hardware, every metal component on the DX4000 is made from corrosion-resistant stainless steel. This ensures long-term performance and adds another layer of protection, especially in humid or outdoor environments.
Safe, Smooth Edges
As with all Zinger crates, the DX4000 is crafted with smooth welds and clean edges. This minimizes the risk of injury or irritation and provides peace of mind that your dog is in a safe, pet-friendly enclosure.
