fenboy Posted May 3, 2016 Report Share Posted May 3, 2016 Can anyone recommend a decent transport box that is big enough for a couple of labs and is not silly money ? I am undecided on going for two single ones or a double with a centre divider . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Konnie Posted May 3, 2016 Report Share Posted May 3, 2016 Several for sale on here a while ago, I would go for double not 2 singles. father has a lintran mine is porta pet I think will have to check all aluminium mine a lot lighter than the lintran, both brought second hand.

coldweld Posted May 3, 2016 Report Share Posted May 3, 2016 Lintran are usually fibreglass, Well my last two where the latest is a custom so some sort of polycarbinate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColinF Posted May 3, 2016 Report Share Posted May 3, 2016 Mine is a Lintran and must be almost 20 years old now. They come up regularly on ebay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Konnie Posted May 4, 2016 Report Share Posted May 4, 2016 Will have a look after work today, a lot of them are done for makes/models of vehicle, best to go on their sites and make a note of models that fit your vehicle then when they come up you are nearly there, as some shift quite quickly. will get back to you later.

Penelope Posted May 4, 2016 Report Share Posted May 4, 2016 I got one of these in a large single, easy to put together, light enough to lift in and out of the car and reasonably priced, and plenty big enough for a lab. The double's dimensions are W - 104cm, D - 91cm, H - 70cm. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Aluminium-Dog-Pet-Cage-Transport-Crate-Car-Travel-Carrier-Box-Pet-Kennel-Carrier-/351611112612?var=&hash=item51dda7cca4:m:mHfaaq-AOhmvJlnvVKjz9kQ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kent Posted May 4, 2016 Report Share Posted May 4, 2016 Depends a lot on the vehicle your putting it into also will the dogs ever get into it with each other? Ali, grp are the materials of choice due to staying cooler. I started making some but to be honest you can't beat transk9 in ali or Lintran in grp. They only sound dear new till you work out proper costings for the like or better Don't buy heavy plastic ones the heat build up is fast even with good ventilation I wouldn't put my dog in one ( I know because I tested some prototypes) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the offer. I am currently looking to change my car and as yet cannot decide on what to get was thinking about a truck but given how much off road I do and the mileage I do each year I am now leaning towards another van . Once I have made my mind up then I will have a better idea of what space I have to play with . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddoakley Posted May 4, 2016 Report Share Posted May 4, 2016 Edd Oakley had one for sale not long ago not sure if he still has it I do indeed. It was from a former us estate and would suit two labs as it was used for two German Shepherds. Denby, pm me with an email address if you want some info.
