A fellow USAR K9 handler building custom dog crates
for other handlers...
Sam Balsam of
Performance Designs can create a custom
steel (or aluminum) dog crate/cage/box for you based on your vehicle and
any specific design requests. He also builds custom vehicle
sliding drawer storage systems. Below are a few examples of his
work. He has done side by side cages, side by side drawers or
single units of both as well as combinations. Side by side crates
can have a removable divider panel. Steel cages are powdered
coated and have locking T-handles. All work is excellent quality
and built for your specific needs.
Contact Sam for details or ordering: 301-748-9082 or email him at
PerformDesigns@aol.com. Please visit Sam's website for more
information on his custom cages and drawer systems:

I wanted a chute style cage so I could house all my dogs in
two separate cages (with a removable divider so it could be one large cage) and
a rear cage door that would open without having to crawl in the truck bed.
Sam designed the sliding rear door on rollers using a rod to open and close the
cage. I also wanted a lockable full bed depth sliding drawer system.
This system leaves half the bed for hauling other items when needed such as a
bark barrel or if I needed to haul another dog, another standard 24" wide cage
fits beside the chute.

Note the sliding rod is now extended out across the tailgate to open & close the
rear door.
