Have a furry mate that loves to tag along? Learn why adding a dog cage to your ute can be the perfect way to keep your dog safe while you’re working or traversing the outback.
Benefits of Dog Cages on Utes
If you’re a tradesperson who loves the companionship of your dog, you need a dog box to get them where you’re going safely.
But you can’t just buy any dog cage and expect them to have a great ride. That’s why at Magnum we offer heavy-duty aluminum boxes made specifically for your vehicle.
Dog Cage Materials
It’s important to examine the materials these boxes are made with before purchasing. After all, if you’re driving a ute, you need all of your add-on features to be sturdy and well-made. You also need to make sure the unit you are buying is compatible with your dog. Aluminium Dog Cages are a perfect fit for almost any normal domestic pet. A working dog or more aggresive breed, you need to be looking at a steel model for that added strength.
Magnum dog cages all come with the following premium features:
- Square aluminum channel with welded joints
- Security locks on each external door
- Locked with heavy-duty stainless steel T-Locks
- Locks fitted with bolts instead of rivets
- Lock key barrels fitted with covers to protect from grime and moisture
- 2 internal gas struts on each door for easy open/closing
Aluminium Cages come with Checker Plate roof, and sides combining Checker Plate and security mesh
Steel Cages are made from 1.5mm steel plate, with a turret punched hole pattern
By using quality materials, you increase the longevity of your box and can trust that your mate is secure, no matter where your adventures take you.
Dog Box Design
The design of the dog cage you choose is equally as important as the materials.
Always choose a size that works best for your dog allowing them to stand up and turn around but not get tossed from side to side because of too much space. You can also select a more open or closed siding option, depending on your preference and your dog’s temperament. All our Dog Cages come with a central locking door. Don't need a full-width Dog Cage - check out Dog Cage/Canopy Combos. They are perfect for looking after your fur baby, as well as giving you that extra bit of protected storage.
In addition, you can always add a blanket or their favorite toy in the box with them to give them added comfort on your journey, but with a streamlined aluminum design, you won’t have to worry about your dog getting scratched up by loose parts, sharp edges, or any other faulty interior features.
Choose the Right Dog Cage for You
At Magnum, we believe you should have peace of mind when you take your four-legged mate with you on jobs.
That means choosing a product with high-quality locks, joints, and security features that perfectly suits your vehicle.
