Zinger Winger Deluxe 4500 Front Entry Crate
Engineered for performance, security, and convenience, the Zinger Winger Deluxe 4500 Front Entry Crate (DX4500-2-FD) offers a superior containment solution for medium to large-sized dog breeds. Whether you’re traveling, training, or providing a safe space at home, this aluminum crate offers the ideal blend of lightweight portability and rugged durability. Designed with the active or professional dog owner in mind, the DX4500 stands out as one of the most reliable and long-lasting crates in its class.
Constructed from aircraft-grade aluminum and finished with a premium baked-on powder coat, this crate is not only tough—it’s built to be visually appealing and safe for your dog’s coat. The Deluxe line is the lightest and most affordable of all Zinger series crates, making it perfect for users who need to move their crate frequently without sacrificing structural integrity or safety.
Key Features:
Tailored for Medium-Large Breeds
At 24” wide x 30” high x 38” long, the DX4500 is ideal for breeds like German Shepherds, Chesapeake Bay Retrievers, and Bully breeds. It provides ample internal space for resting, stretching, and standing, while still offering the sense of enclosure and safety that dogs appreciate in a crate.
Strong Yet Lightweight Aluminum Construction
Crafted from .065” aircraft-grade aluminum, this crate is built to last a lifetime, providing strength at one-third the weight of steel. It’s rugged enough to stand up to the rigors of daily use, travel, and active pets, but light enough to move and reposition with ease.
Front Entry Door with Reversible Opening
This model features a front-mounted solid bar door, which is both secure and convenient. The full-length piano hinge allows for left or right-hand opening, and the flush-mounted keyed slam latch locks securely to prevent unauthorized access or accidental opening.
Triple Row Ventilation System
Comfort is key, and the DX4500 doesn’t cut corners. Each non-door side includes three rows of large vent holes on the top and bottom to ensure continuous airflow throughout the crate. Combined with the open bar design on the door, your dog will enjoy cooler, well-circulated air, even during warm days or extended crate stays.
Keyed Locking Slam Latch
Security is built into every detail. The crate includes a keyed slam latch made from stainless steel, offering peace of mind for owners who need to leave their dog unattended. This latch prevents breakouts and provides reliable protection whether at home, on the road, or at the vet.
Modular and Stackable Design
Whether you’re outfitting a training facility, kennel, or simply organizing your space at home, Zinger crates are fully modular. The DX4500 can be stacked or arranged side-by-side with other Zinger models to create a professional kennel system.
Silver Hammertone Powder Coated Finish
This crate is coated inside and out with Zinger’s baked-on Silver Hammertone powder finish, which resists wear and adds a sleek, professional appearance. It also prevents aluminum oxidation, which can discolor a dog’s coat—something common in untreated crates. The finish is designed to last and easy to clean.
Durability and Safety You Can Trust
All Zinger doors are reinforced with solid welded bars and striker plates for unmatched durability. The smooth welds and finished edges ensure your dog stays safe, while stainless steel hardware eliminates the risk of rust and corrosion.
