Zinger Winger Deluxe 5500 Front Entry
Introducing the Zinger Winger Deluxe 5500 Front Entry (DX5500-2-FD), a high-performance crate designed for owners of extra-large breeds who need the unmatched durability and safety of aluminum construction without the bulk of traditional steel kennels. The Deluxe 5500 is ideal for powerful breeds like Great Pyrenees, Tosas, Dogue de Bordeauxs, and Rottweilers—offering the rugged build quality Zinger is known for in their lightest and most affordable crate line.
With its new sizing configuration (26"W x 34"H x 42"L), this crate provides ample space and ventilation for large dogs while remaining lightweight enough to transport solo. It’s engineered to provide maximum comfort, modular flexibility, and long-term durability—making it the go-to crate for both home and travel use.
Key Features:
Lightweight Aluminum Construction:
Made with aircraft-grade aluminum, the DX5500 weighs just a third of what comparable steel crates do—without compromising on strength. Whether you’re a traveling pet owner, show handler, or simply need a secure home crate, this model offers both resilience and portability.
Designed for Extra-Large Breeds:
Sized specifically for dogs like Great Pyrenees, Rottweilers, and other large-frame canines, the DX5500 gives your pet ample room to move and lie down comfortably. It’s built with safety, comfort, and breed-specific needs in mind.
High-Security Slam Latch:
The front-facing, flush-mounted slam latch is keyed for extra peace of mind. Made from solid stainless steel, it provides durable locking functionality that resists tampering and corrosion—so your dog stays safe even when you’re not around.
Triple Ventilation Rows for Airflow:
Each side panel features three upper and three lower rows of ventilation holes, combined with open airflow through the front door and solid rear panel. This ensures your dog has constant fresh air, and thanks to aluminum’s fast heat dissipation, your pet stays cooler for longer—even on warmer days.
Reversible Front Door Design:
The single front-entry door can be easily reversed to open from either the left or right, allowing you to adapt the crate to your space or vehicle layout. It’s ideal for tight setups where flexibility is a must.
Heavy-Duty Reinforced Doors:
The door is built to last, reinforced with solid bar welding, a full-length piano hinge, and a durable striker plate. This construction gives it exceptional structural integrity, ideal for stronger or more determined dogs.
Modular and Stackable:
Whether you’re a breeder, trainer, or multi-dog owner, the DX5500’s modular build allows for easy stacking or side-by-side pairing. Create kennel banks or vehicle setups quickly without compromising the stability or airflow of each unit.
Premium Powder-Coated Finish:
The Silver Hammertone finish isn’t just for looks—it’s a baked-on powder coat applied inside and out for maximum durability. This protects the crate from scratches, oxidation, and the gray residue often left by untreated aluminum. Your dog’s coat stays clean and free of metallic discoloration.
Built to Endure:
Zinger crates are made to outlast traditional plastic or wire crates. Whether it’s for training, transport, or everyday use, the DX5500 is ready for long-term, heavy-duty service.
