Heavy Duty Dog Crates
Built for Dogs That Break Everything
5mm wire, dual slide-bolt latches, welded hinges, reinforced frame.
Not a marketing label — real engineering.
MOQ from 100 units. 48″ and 38″ sizes available.
5mm Wire
Standard crates use 4mm. Heavy duty uses 5mm — 56% more cross-section. No bending, no escapes.
Dual Slide-Bolt Latch
Single latch = manipulated by nose in 10 minutes. Dual bolt slides into frame from two directions. Escape-proof.
Welded Hinges
No rivets. Rivets pop under stress. Welded hinges hold. Check hinge points — if you see rivets, pass.
Reinforced Frame
Corner reinforcement prevents panel flex. Side-to-side gap is <1mm at lock points. Dogs can't work the gap.
