Dog owners around the world will know that it can sometimes be a challenge to safely and efficiently get them from A to B, and when you are also needing to transport important equipment this can become even harder. However, advances in vehicle hardware over recent years have been helping to make this easier than ever, offering tailor-made solutions for a range of animal transportation needs.
As a UK market leader in dog transit solutions, Animal Transit Boxes Ltd have been supplying transportation cages and vehicle drawers for over 25 years. In this time, they have always been committed to providing new and innovative solutions for their clients’ requirements, whether they are vets, breeders or simply pet owners.
The latest in their wide range of products was a custom-built multifunctional unit for the Land Rover Discovery 5. This featured a dog transit box, 12V battery, and two storage drawers. Another removable hospitality drawer unit could also be replaced by a second transportation cage, making it highly adaptable.
When producing this unit, Animal Transit Boxes required drawer slides that were safe and secure for use in vehicles, while also providing easy access to potentially delicate and expensive equipment. They therefore turned to Albert Jagger, in order to fulfil the necessary requirements for a longer length.
This slide has a load rating of up to 160kg, making it heavy-duty but discreet. With 100%+ extension, it offers users full access to the drawers, making it easier to load and unload heavy or fragile gear. Its hold-in feature keeps the slide securely closed until an additional opening force is applied, keeping them during transit secure.
