Field 12-4×4

Field 12-4×4 Single Dog Box, Double Drawer System & Storage Tray for 4×4 Vehicles

The Field 12-4×4 Single Dog Box & Double Drawer System is a complete dog transport and equipment storage solution designed for 4×4 road vehicles, helping make maximum use of the available rear load space while providing secure dog accommodation and practical storage.

The system combines our double drawer storage unit with a single-compartment dog box mounted above and a three-sided storage tray alongside the dog box, creating a practical, secure and easy-to-clean installation for working dogs, dog training equipment, country sports, professional handlers and everyday dog transport.

The Field 12-4×4 can be configured with either a fixed or removable dog box, depending on how you use your vehicle. The tray can also be manufactured to extend towards the side of the vehicle or to match the width of the drawer unit where easier removal of the complete system is required.

Designed for 4×4 Road Vehicles

The Field 12-4×4 is designed to make efficient use of the rear load area of suitable 4×4 vehicles.

The double drawer system provides secure enclosed storage beneath the dog box and tray, helping make use of load space that can otherwise be difficult to organise effectively.

Above the drawer system, the single dog box uses approximately half of the available width to provide one secure dog compartment. The remaining space is used for a three-sided storage tray, providing an accessible area for equipment alongside the dog box.

The exact dimensions and configuration of the system depend on the available load space, vehicle width, internal height and rear door or tailgate opening.

As dimensions vary between vehicle makes and models, please provide your vehicle make, model and year when enquiring so that we can confirm the most suitable configuration.

Double Drawer Storage System

The lower section of the Field 12-4×4 incorporates our double drawer storage system, providing two large storage drawers beneath the dog box and tray.

The drawers are designed to use as much of the available space as possible, helping maximise practical storage for dog training equipment, leads, clothing, tools, recovery equipment and other working accessories.

Each drawer operates using our Air Glide system, providing smooth operation without conventional greased metal drawer runners.

The Air Glide system helps reduce the problems associated with traditional runners, which can attract dirt, grit, dog hair and mud during regular use.

Each drawer liner is fitted with a lockable stainless-steel catch and includes a removable 3mm mat.

Twist-Release Removable Drawer Liners

Each drawer liner incorporates our twist-release stop system, allowing the drawer liner to remain securely retained during normal use while still being easy to remove when cleaning or maintenance is required.

During everyday operation, the stop prevents the drawer liner from being accidentally removed, even when the drawer is fully extended.

When the liner needs to be removed, simply rotate the stop through 90 degrees to release it from the main drawer unit.

The liner can then be removed completely for easier cleaning or maintenance.

Once the liner has been refitted, the stop is rotated back into position to secure the drawer again.

This provides a simple, secure and completely tool-free method of removing the drawer liners.

Secure Single-Compartment Dog Box

Mounted above the drawer system, the Field 12-4×4 single dog box uses approximately half of the available width to provide one secure dog compartment.

The remaining width provides practical equipment storage alongside the dog box.

The dog box is fitted with our double-point door locking system.

When the door is locked, pins engage at both the top and bottom of the door, securing it firmly in two separate positions.

Each door is also fitted with a full-length stainless-steel hinge and our integrated stainless-steel mesh construction, creating a strong and durable door designed for regular working and everyday use.

Integrated Stainless-Steel Door Mesh

A major strength of the Field 12-4×4 dog box is the way the stainless-steel door mesh is built into the door frame during manufacture.

Rather than simply being tack welded onto the outside of the finished door, the stainless-steel mesh is inserted into the aluminium door section during the welding stage, so the surrounding door construction locks the mesh securely into position.

This creates an extremely strong door assembly and prevents dogs inside the box from getting behind an exposed mesh edge and attempting to pull or peel the mesh away from the frame.

The result is a much more secure and durable construction than a surface-mounted mesh panel, making it particularly suitable for strong, active working dogs and regular professional use.

This integrated mesh construction is a key feature of our dog box doors and is used to provide additional strength, security and long-term durability.

Ventilation, Comfort and Cleaning

Ventilation is incorporated into the sides and rear of the Field 12-4×4 dog box to help maintain airflow through the compartment while travelling.

Standard ventilation slots are approximately 150mm high.

A 3mm internal rubber mat is supplied within the dog compartment, providing a practical and easy-to-clean floor surface for the dog.

The dog box also incorporates a front drainage plug, making it easier to wash out the compartment and release water after cleaning.

Together, these features are designed to make the dog compartment practical to maintain during regular working use.

Three-Sided Storage Tray

Alongside the single dog box, the Field 12-4×4 incorporates a three-sided storage tray above the drawer system.

This provides a useful open storage area for equipment that needs to remain readily accessible from the rear of the vehicle.

Depending on the vehicle and installation, the tray can be manufactured to extend towards the side of the vehicle for a more fully fitted appearance or to match the width of the drawer system where easier removal of the complete installation is required.

The combination of the single dog compartment, open tray and double drawers allows the Field 12-4×4 to divide the available rear load space between secure dog transport, enclosed drawer storage and accessible equipment storage within one installation.

Fixed or Removable Dog Box

The Field 12-4×4 can be configured with either a fixed or removable dog box, depending on how you use your vehicle.

The fixed version can be securely attached to the drawer unit to create a semi-permanent installation.

Alternatively, the dog box can be manufactured as a removable unit while leaving the drawer system securely fitted in the vehicle.

This is particularly useful where the 4×4 also needs to be used for work, carrying larger equipment or other purposes when the dog box is not required.

The removable system is designed to allow the dog box to be removed and refitted without tools.

With the removable dog box option, a three-sided full tray is fitted across the top of the drawer system beneath the dog box.

The tray can extend towards the sides of the vehicle for a fully fitted appearance, or it can be manufactured to match the width of the drawer system where removal of the complete drawer installation may also be required.

The removable dog box option must be specified when ordering.

Removable Dog Box Option

For customers who need their 4×4 to perform more than one role, the Field 12-4×4 can be manufactured with a removable dog box.

The drawer system remains securely installed, while the dog box can be removed when additional load space is required for work equipment, larger items or other uses.

A three-sided tray beneath the removable dog box provides a practical finished storage surface when the dog box is removed.

The tray can either extend towards the side of the vehicle for a more fully fitted installation or be manufactured to the same width as the drawer unit where removal of the complete drawer system may also be required.

This option must be specified when ordering so that the dog box, tray and drawer system can be manufactured around the available vehicle load space and rear opening dimensions.

Bespoke Options

As our dog boxes and drawer systems are manufactured in-house, we can also accommodate a wide range of individual requirements where possible.

Bespoke options can include:

• Alternative drawer sizes
• Different drawer configurations
• Alternative storage arrangements
• Changes to the dog compartment dimensions
• Changes to the tray layout
• Configurations designed around specific equipment
• Systems designed around particular vehicle fittings or accessories
• Other custom modifications to suit your vehicle and working requirements

Every customer uses their vehicle differently, so the Field 12-4×4 does not have to be limited to the standard configurations shown.

If you require a non-standard layout, please contact us before ordering so that we can discuss your requirements and provide a quotation for a bespoke system.

Made for Your 4×4

The Field 12-4×4 has been designed to provide a practical, secure and space-efficient combination of dog transport and equipment storage for 4×4 vehicles.

By combining a secure single dog compartment with two storage drawers and a three-sided equipment tray, the system makes effective use of the available rear load space while keeping dogs and equipment organised within one installation.

The choice of a fixed or removable dog box allows the system to be adapted depending on how the vehicle is used, while the different tray configurations allow the installation to be tailored around the vehicle and the level of removability required.

Whether your 4×4 is used for working dogs, dog training, country sports, professional handling, work equipment or everyday dog transport, the Field 12-4×4 provides a versatile combination of secure dog accommodation, organised storage and easy-to-clean components.

If you are unsure which configuration is suitable for your vehicle, please contact us with your vehicle make, model and year, together with any particular requirements, and we can advise on the most appropriate Field 12-4×4 configuration.
