Single & double bay
Compact boxes for one or two dogs, full or half tray width, with lift-off or hinged doors.
Dog boxes built for working dogs and NZ weather.
Single, double and triple-bay aluminium dog boxes sized to your ute, with proper ventilation, a raised floor that drains, and a lockable toolbox or drawer section where you want it.
The range
From a single hunting box to a full farm rig.
A dog box is where the dog spends a lot of its day, so ventilation, shade and drainage matter as much as the locks.
Triple bay & dog-toolbox combos
Three bays or two bays plus a toolbox or drawer section, split to your layout.
Flat-deck & wellside
Built to sit on a flat-deck tray, in a wellside tub or on a headboard with tie-down points.
Trailer & quad boxes
Smaller boxes for side-by-sides, quads and trailers.

Questions
Common questions about aluminium dog boxes.
Do the boxes get hot in summer?
Louvred side vents, mesh doors and a light-coloured roof keep air moving through. We can add an insulated roof or extra vents for dogs that spend long days on the ute.
Can the dividers be moved?
Yes. Removable or sliding dividers let a double bay become one large bay for a bigger dog or gear.
How is the box fixed to the ute?
It is bolted through the tray or tub with backing plates and can be removed in a few minutes if the ute is sold or the tray is needed.
