Zinger Collapsible Folding Suitcase Airline Compliant IATA CR-82 Approved Dog Crate

The Zinger Collapsible Folding Dog Crate is an airline IATA CR-82 compliant dog crate that exceeds the strength and ventilation requirements by most airlines. The sturdy aluminum design is crafted to be able to handle the rough handling that crates sometimes go through when being transported, providing your dog the protection it needs when flying. 

Important: Depending on the dog breed an airline may demand special requirements in addition to the IATA 82 standard so make sure to check with your airline. One of the most important considerations to remember when selecting your crate is its SIZE. Your crate must be large enough to ensure that the dog can stand up and have sufficient space to turn around. It must be able to do so without difficulty. Airlines have the right to refuse to fly your dog if the crate is deemed to be too small so be prepared and know your obligations before you arrive at the airport.

Features

• Fully Collapsible
• The Zinger Collapsible Folding Dog Crate is fully collapsible allowing easy transport and carrying.
• Heavy Duty Construction
• Zinger crates are constructed from aircraft-grade aluminum, prized for its durability and strength, while still being light weight. Zinger Aluminum crates are ideal for dogs prone to destroying or breaking free of cheaper plastic and wire crates, which tend to easily crack, bend, and break. In addition, the the lock and mounting hardware are made from corrosion and rust resistant industrial-grade stainless steel.
• Built for comfort and safety
• A Zinger crate is fully vented down each side and along the back wall to provide maximum comfort for your dog. The open design allows air to pass freely thru the door aided by the triple rows of lower and upper vent holes which surround the crate. By its very nature aluminum quickly dissipates heat making it an ideal material for a dog crate. Lots of adequate ventilation ensures your dog will remain safe and comfortable while in the Zinger crate.
• Convenient
• Handles are included with all folding crates, which fold down to ¼ its height. Handlers will save considerable time, effort, and storage space while travelling with their pets.
• Versatile and Easy to Handle
• All Zinger crates have a modular design and can be coupled side by side or stacked atop one another to form multiple dog crate systems or kennel banks. Also, while built to be strong and secure, Zinger crates are one third the weight of steel and can easily be handled by one person, with little effort. 
• Powder Coat Finish for Protection
• Zinger crates are finished in a durable "Silver Hammertone" powder coat both inside and out. The secret to this tough finish is the high temperatures in which it is "baked on" so that it will not wear off. By powder coating the inside as well as the outside it protects your dogs coat from discoloration. Coat discoloration is common when a dog sits in an untreated aluminum crate. The bare aluminum oxidizes and the residue rubs off onto the dog resulting in a grey silvery color. This will not happen in a Zinger crate.
• Secure Inside and Out
• From the inside, the crate is strengthened with solid bars and welded for extra strength the door is built to hold your "Escape Artist". A full length piano hinge and striker plate is standard and the door can be easily reversed to allow for left and right hand opening.

From the outside, each door comes with a flush mounted slam latch which is keyed for added security while you are away from the crate. Rest assured that someone cannot simply open the crate and walk away with your dog. Made from strong "stainless steel" for durability and to prevent corrosion.

Please note: If your dog is a self proclaimed "escape artist" that loves to chew, bite and scratch, we do not recommend this crate. Please refer to our Zinger Professional Series crate for these type of mischievous dogs.
