K9 22-V

K9 22-V Double Dog Box & Double Drawer System for Vans

The K9 22-V Double Dog Box & Double Drawer System is a complete dog transport and storage solution designed to fit between the wheel arches of a van, helping make maximum use of the available load space while providing secure dog accommodation and practical equipment storage.

The system combines our double drawer unit with a twin-compartment dog box mounted above, creating a strong, practical and easy-to-clean installation suitable for working dogs, professional handlers and everyday dog transport.

The standard K9 22-V is designed for smaller vans such as the Volkswagen Caddy, with a width of up to 1200mm. An alternative wider version is available for larger vans such as the Ford Transit Custom, with widths up to 1350mm.

The standard dog box section is 1120mm deep and 816mm high, while the drawer unit is available in a range of height options. Where required, the overall combined height can also be manufactured to suit the available rear door opening height of the vehicle.

All advertised prices include VAT and fitting.

Designed to Fit Between the Wheel Arches

The K9 22-V is designed to sit neatly between the wheel arches of the van, allowing the available rear load space to be used efficiently without wasting valuable width.

The standard dog box section has a depth of 1120mm and a height of 816mm.

Our standard configuration is manufactured up to 1200mm wide, making it suitable for smaller vans such as the Volkswagen Caddy.

For larger vans such as the Ford Transit Custom, the system can be manufactured up to 1350mm wide.

The drawer system beneath the dog box is available in different height options depending on your storage requirements. Where required, the combined drawer and dog box system can also be manufactured to suit the maximum usable height available beneath the vehicle’s rear door opening.

As van dimensions and installations can vary, we recommend confirming your vehicle details and available load-space dimensions with us before ordering.

Double Drawer Storage System

The lower section of the K9 22-V incorporates our double drawer storage system, providing two full-length storage drawers running beneath the dog box.

The drawers extend between the wheel arches to maximise the available storage space and are ideal for carrying dog training equipment, leads, clothing, tools, recovery equipment and other working accessories.

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

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.

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.

Safe, Secure Double-Compartment Dog Box

Mounted above the drawer system, the K9 22-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 in two separate positions.

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 22-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 22-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.

Ventilation and Comfort

Ventilation is incorporated into the sides and rear of the K9 22-V dog box to help maintain airflow through both dog compartments while travelling.

Standard ventilation apertures are approximately 150mm high.

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

The dog box also incorporates a front drainage plug, making it easier to wash out and clean the interior.

Durable 6mm Polypropylene Construction

The K9 22-V dog box and drawer system are manufactured from 6mm polypropylene with a leather-grain-effect finish.

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

The polypropylene construction is particularly suited to dog transport because it is easy to wipe down, resistant to moisture and practical to maintain.

The dog box section incorporates a reinforced centre structure to provide additional strength and rigidity.

The lower section of the dog compartment 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 allows water to be released easily after cleaning.

Van Size Options

The standard K9 22-V is designed for smaller vans such as the Volkswagen Caddy and is manufactured up to 1200mm wide.

For customers with larger vehicles, we can also manufacture a wider version suitable for vehicles such as the Ford Transit Custom, with widths up to 1350mm.

The standard depth remains 1120mm.

The drawer height can be selected to suit your storage requirements, and where necessary the overall combined height of the system can be adjusted to make use of the available space beneath the vehicle’s rear door opening.

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

Drawer Height Options

Unlike the dog box section, which has a standard height of 816mm, the drawer section is available in a range of different heights.

This allows the storage capacity beneath the dog box to be adapted depending on the equipment you need to carry and the amount of vertical space available within the van.

Where a standard drawer height is not suitable, we can manufacture the drawer system to a different height.

The overall combined height of the dog box and drawer unit can be manufactured up to the available rear door opening height, subject to the dimensions and layout of the vehicle.

Please contact us with your vehicle dimensions if you require a particular overall height.

Optional Escape Hatch Delete

Rear escape hatches are supplied as standard on the K9 22-V, giving access to both dog compartments from the rear of the box.

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

Please specify this when ordering.

Bespoke Options

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

Bespoke options can include:

• Alternative overall heights
• Alternative drawer heights
• Different widths for the individual dog compartments
• Changes to the internal compartment layout
• Alternative drawer configurations
• Storage layouts designed around specific equipment
• Configurations to work around vehicle fittings or accessories
• Other custom modifications to suit your vehicle and working setup

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

Made for Your Van

The K9 22-V has been designed to provide a strong, secure and space-efficient combination of dog transport and equipment storage within the rear of a van.

By combining two secure dog compartments with two full-length storage drawers, the system makes practical use of the space between the vehicle’s wheel arches while keeping dogs and equipment organised within one installation.

Whether fitted to a smaller van such as a Volkswagen Caddy or manufactured in the wider configuration for a vehicle such as the Ford Transit Custom, the K9 22-V combines durable polypropylene construction, secure individual dog compartments, effective ventilation, practical drawer storage and easy-to-clean components.

If you are unsure which configuration is suitable for your van, please contact us with your vehicle make, model, year, available width and rear door opening height and we will be happy to advise.
