MidWest Ovation Trainer Single Door Crate.
Space-saving wire crate whose side door rolls up vertically instead of swinging out into the room.
The Verdict.
Gavler Meta-Score
“The pick when floor space is tight. The roll-up door is the whole reason to choose it over a cheaper iCrate, and in a small apartment that single feature is worth the upcharge. Everywhere else, a standard swinging door is fine.”
The Gavler Verdict
Precision Engineering
Roll-Up Side Door
The door lifts vertically and tucks above the opening so no floor space is lost to a door arc.
Fold-Flat Setup
Tool-free assembly and flat folding for storage, the same as MidWest's standard crates.
Divider Included
Grow-with-your-puppy divider panel keeps interior space right-sized during house-training.
Technical Specifications
The Scoreboard
Praised for the space-saving roll-up door in small-space setups. Community notes the door mechanism can rattle and costs more than a standard iCrate.
