TransK9

TransK9 designs and manufactures dog transit crates fitted to specific vehicle models. Established in 2003, the company also makes van and pickup boxes, accessories, and in-car storage solutions. Searching by vehicle make, model, and year is central to the catalog: a crate is selected for the actual shape of the cargo area rather than treated as a one-size-fits-all product.

The range is organized into single and double crates, van or pickup boxes, used units, spare parts, and accessories. Depending on the model, options may include mats, protectors, ventilation, and other add-ons. The company recommends considering both the vehicle and the size and number of dogs, especially when working with a cargo area that has a particular shape or access point.

TransK9 says its crates are made in the UK from aerospace-grade aluminum, selected for its strength-to-weight ratio. Each design is fitted to its intended cargo area. The range also includes TransLock vehicle storage drawers, designed to pair with certain crates and separate dog travel from belongings stored in the vehicle.

Safety is a prominent part of the product information. The company describes independent front-impact, rear-impact, and rollover testing carried out by an engineer holding chartered status in the UK. According to the results it publishes, the tests produced no component failures and the rear escape door remained operational. These are the manufacturer's reported test results, not a promise that any product eliminates every risk in a crash.

Along with new crates, the catalog includes used boxes, spare parts, and vehicle and crate accessories. TransLock drawers extend the range to secure storage, while the parts section helps owners keep equipment in service. Availability and fit depend on the specific setup and vehicle model.

The company says its products are used in vehicles operated by police forces, search-and-rescue teams, and professional dog handlers, as well as for travel and dog sports. Its published structural warranty is ten years. The website also describes shipping within and beyond the UK, so buyers can identify a suitable product before arranging delivery.

Customers who are unsure which crate will fit can contact the team with details about their vehicle and dog. Its operating center is listed at Prestwick Airport in Monkton, Ayrshire; personal visits require an appointment. That arrangement lets the company coordinate a product and vehicle discussion before a visitor makes the trip.

The practical distinction from a standard crate is the vehicle-specific fit and range of layouts, from a single compartment to two. For drivers traveling with working or family dogs, the catalog makes it possible to compare cargo space, access, storage, and accessories within one system.
