Zinger Winger Professional 5500 Side Entry
Built to contain even the most determined canine escape artists, the Zinger Winger Professional 5500 Side Entry Crate (PR5500-2-SD) delivers exceptional performance, safety, and durability for extra-large dog breeds. Designed with top-tier materials and professional-grade construction, this crate provides a secure and comfortable environment for your dog while giving owners the confidence that their pet is safely contained—even in demanding settings.
Created specifically for strong, large-framed dogs such as Great Pyrenees, Tosas, Dogue de Bordeauxs, and Rottweilers, the 5500 series features a roomy interior (26" W x 34" H x 42" L) and reinforced architecture that goes far beyond the limitations of typical plastic or wire cages. Its aircraft aluminum body, locking system, and modular layout make it a go-to choice for handlers, trainers, and responsible dog owners.
Key Features:
Built for the Most Determined Dogs:
The PR5500-2-SD is crafted for pets that have mastered escaping conventional crates. Heavy-duty structural reinforcements, solid welded components, and secure locking mechanisms make this model ideal for even the strongest breeds. A backup locking feature integrated into the door frame offers an added level of containment.
Aluminum Frame That Balances Strength and Weight:
Made with precision-engineered aluminum, this crate is rugged yet surprisingly light. It’s more than capable of withstanding the force of large, energetic dogs but weighs far less than a steel alternative, making it manageable for solo transport or daily movement.
Designed for Extra-Large Breeds:
Offering a spacious 42-inch length and 34-inch height, this model accommodates bigger dogs who require more headroom and stretch space. Whether you're caring for a Rottweiler or a Dogue de Bordeaux, this crate is designed to keep your pet comfortable without restricting movement.
Side Door Entry for Flexible Setup:
Featuring a door on the long side of the crate, the side-entry layout simplifies access in compact spaces such as vehicle interiors or tight kennel rows. The door can be placed centrally or off-center and is fully reversible—meaning it can be configured to open from either side.
Tamper-Resistant Locking Mechanism:
Security is built into every detail. The flush-mounted latch system uses a keyed lock made from stainless steel, preventing unwanted access while also deterring clever dogs from pawing or nudging their way out. Perfect for use in high-traffic or public settings.
Maximized Airflow & Ventilation:
Strategically drilled vent holes along the rear and side panels promote consistent airflow, keeping your dog cool and calm. Combined with the open-bar design of the front door and aluminum’s natural cooling properties, this crate maintains a comfortable internal climate—especially important during travel or extended crate time.
Modular & Stackable Functionality:
Whether you’re outfitting a training facility or managing multiple dogs, the PR5500-2-SD’s modular design makes it easy to stack or align side-by-side with other Zinger crates. The frame is engineered for structural compatibility without sacrificing access or airflow.
Durable Coating That Protects Inside and Out:
Finished in a resilient Silver Hammertone powder coat, the interior and exterior surfaces are protected against rust, wear, and discoloration. This professional-grade coating not only preserves the crate’s appearance but also protects your dog’s coat from exposure to oxidized aluminum, which can rub off and cause staining.
Heavy-Duty Reversible Door:
The door is constructed with thick, welded bars and a full-length piano hinge to eliminate sagging over time. Reversible by design, it offers left- or right-hand operation, making placement simple no matter your space layout.
