Impact Collapsible Dog Crate.
An aluminum collapsible crate that is escape-resistant and far lighter than a comparable steel kennel.
The Verdict.
Gavler Meta-Score
“The answer for the dog that has already escaped or destroyed a wire crate. The aluminum frame resists the bending and biting that defeats budget crates, while still folding flat. Less crash protection than a hard kennel, but lighter and escape-resistant in a way wire never will be.”
The Gavler Verdict
Precision Engineering
Aircraft-Grade Aluminum
Welded and riveted aluminum frame resists the bending and biting that defeats budget wire crates.
Collapses Flat
Folds down for storage and travel while weighing far less than a comparable steel or rotomolded kennel.
Rust-Proof & Lightweight
Aluminum will not rust for dogs that travel wet, and stays manageable for one person to move.
Technical Specifications
The Scoreboard
Recommended for escape artists and heavy chewers for its rigid aluminum frame. Community notes the price and that the open design protects less in a crash than a hard kennel.
