K9 2-V

K9 2-V Double Dog Box for Vans

The K9 2-V Double Dog Box is a high-quality double-compartment dog box designed to fit between the wheel arches of a van, helping make efficient use of the available load space while providing a secure, practical and durable transport solution for two dogs.

The standard K9 2-V is designed for smaller vans such as the Volkswagen Caddy, with an alternative configuration available for larger vans such as the Ford Transit Custom.

With two separate dog compartments, individual lockable doors and a removable centre divider, the K9 2-V provides a flexible solution suitable for working dogs, professional users and everyday dog transport.

Designed to Fit Between the Wheel Arches

The K9 2-V is designed to sit neatly between the wheel arches of the van, allowing the available load space to be used as efficiently as possible.

The standard box has a depth of 1120mm and an overall height of 816mm.

Our standard configuration is suitable for smaller vans such as the Volkswagen Caddy, while an alternative version can be manufactured for larger vans such as the Ford Transit Custom.

As van dimensions and installations can vary, we recommend confirming your vehicle details with us before ordering to ensure the correct configuration is supplied.

Safe, Secure Double-Compartment Design

The K9 2-V incorporates two individual dog compartments, allowing two dogs to travel separately and securely.

A removable centre divider is fitted as standard, giving you the flexibility to use the box as two individual compartments or as one larger compartment when required.

Each compartment has its own locking front door with our double-point locking system. When the handle is operated, two locking pins engage at the top and bottom of the door, providing a strong and secure closure.

Rear escape hatches are fitted as standard, providing an additional access point to each compartment from the rear of the dog box.

For customers who do not require rear access, the K9 2-V can also be manufactured without escape hatches.

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 K9 2-V 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.

Stainless-steel mesh integrated into the dog box door section during manufacture, locking the mesh securely into the frame rather than simply attaching it to the outer face.

Ventilation and Comfort

Ventilation is incorporated into the sides and rear of the K9 2-V to help maintain airflow through both dog compartments while travelling.

Standard ventilation apertures are approximately 150mm high.

A 3mm internal rubber mat is also supplied as standard, providing a practical, comfortable and easy-to-clean floor surface for the dogs.

Durable 6mm Polypropylene Construction

The K9 2-V is manufactured from 6mm polypropylene with a leather-grain-effect finish.

This material provides a strong, lightweight and low-maintenance construction suitable for regular use in working and everyday vehicles.

A reinforced centre pillar and roof trunk add additional structural strength and rigidity to the box.

The lower section is designed to be watertight up to the top of the door sill, helping contain water while the interior is being washed out. A front drainage plug is fitted to make cleaning and maintenance easier.

Integrated slot handles are incorporated into the sides of the box to assist with handling when fitting or removing the unit.

Securing shackles are also fitted to the sides, allowing the dog box to be restrained using suitable fixing points within the vehicle.

Van Size Options

The standard K9 2-V is designed for smaller vans such as the Volkswagen Caddy.

For customers with larger vehicles, we can also manufacture a version suitable for larger vans such as the Ford Transit Custom.

Because wheel-arch positions, internal widths and vehicle layouts can vary between van models, please provide your vehicle make and model when ordering so that we can confirm the appropriate version.

Optional Escape Hatch Delete

Rear escape hatches are supplied as standard on the K9 2-V, giving access to the dog compartments from both the front and rear of the box.

If rear access is not required, the box can alternatively be manufactured without the rear escape hatches.

Please specify this when ordering.

Bespoke Options

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

Bespoke options can include:

• Alternative overall dimensions where required
• Different widths for the individual dog compartments
• Configurations to work around specific vehicle equipment or storage requirements
• Other custom modifications to suit your vehicle and working setup

Please contact us before ordering if you require a non-standard configuration so that we can discuss your requirements and provide a quotation.
