Zinger Winger Deluxe 4500 Front Side Entry
Built for strength, security, and ease of use, the Zinger Winger Deluxe 4500 Front Side Entry Crate is the ideal solution for medium to large dog breeds needing superior protection and comfort. Designed from aircraft-grade aluminum and finished with a rugged powder coat, the DX4500-2-FS model combines lightweight portability with heavy-duty durability. This crate is ideal for breeds such as German Shepherds, Chesapeake Bay Retrievers, and larger bully breeds, providing ample interior space and an ultra-secure enclosure for use at home, on the road, or in a kennel setup.
As part of Zinger’s Deluxe series—the lightest line in the Zinger family—the 4500 model is a favorite among pet professionals, dog trainers, and owners who demand the best in performance without sacrificing mobility. Whether you’re traveling with your dog or creating a secure home base, the Deluxe 4500 offers peace of mind in a sleek, functional design.
Key Features:
Strong and Lightweight Construction:
Made from aircraft-grade aluminum, the Deluxe 4500 provides exceptional strength while weighing significantly less than steel—approximately one-third of the weight. This makes it easy for a single person to lift, load, or relocate the crate without assistance. Unlike wire or plastic crates, Zinger’s aluminum frame offers unmatched resistance to wear, chewing, and environmental damage, ensuring it lasts a lifetime.
Front and Side Entry Access:
This FS (Front Side) Entry model is designed with two doors—one on the front-facing short end and one on the long side of the crate. The side door can be positioned as either centered or offset based on your preference, and both doors are fully reversible, allowing for right- or left-hand opening. This dual-entry design makes it easier to place the crate in tight spaces, vehicles, or stacked configurations, providing ultimate flexibility.
Lockable Stainless Steel Slam Latch:
Each entry point is equipped with a flush-mounted slam latch locking mechanism that is keyed for secure access. Constructed from rust-resistant stainless steel, the latch offers both durability and peace of mind, keeping your dog safe from unauthorized opening or escape. Whether you’re using the crate during travel, at an event, or at home, this keyed system adds a dependable level of safety.
Full-Length Ventilation for Maximum Comfort:
Ventilation is a top priority with the Deluxe 4500. The crate includes three rows of vent holes along both the top and bottom of the non-door sides, as well as ventilation along the back wall. Combined with airflow through the open-barred doors, this configuration promotes superior air circulation throughout the interior. Aluminum’s natural heat dissipation properties further enhance your dog’s comfort by reducing the risk of overheating during use.
Durable, Dog-Safe Powder Coat Finish:
Zinger crates are finished in a high-quality Silver Hammertone powder coat, baked on at extreme temperatures to ensure it won’t chip, flake, or wear over time. Importantly, the interior is also powder coated to prevent the oxidation common in untreated aluminum crates, which can rub off on your dog’s coat and leave silvery residue. The result is a crate that stays looking sharp and keeps your dog clean and healthy.
Reinforced Solid Doors for Ultimate Security:
The front and side doors are made from solid aluminum and reinforced with welded bars to withstand forceful use. A full-length piano hinge and striker plate come standard on each door to ensure smooth operation and consistent durability. These high-strength doors are designed to last, even with repeated use and strong dogs.
Modular Design for Multi-Dog Systems:
Like all Zinger crates, the Deluxe 4500 features a modular design that can be easily stacked or placed side-by-side with other units. This makes it ideal for professional kennels, dog trainers, or multi-dog households that require scalable and space-efficient crate systems.
