COMFORT RACK! click here to learn
about our newest product.
OUR ORIGINAL CAGE RACKS, now
used by veterinarians for almost thirty years were designed to be
lightweight, durable, easy to clean, and of a design that allows
papers and bedding to be changed without disturbing the animal in
the cage. The specially made legs, similar to sled runners
in appearance are of prefabricated 3/8 cold-rolled steel.
These are bent according to the size of cage rack they will be used
for, and the mesh platform is welded to the top of them. In the
case of racks used in larger cages, a center support is also welded
to the platform. After welding is complete, the rack is then coated
with the finest p.v.c plastisol available. This coating is
oven cured, smooth, durable, can be cleaned with any product on
the market, and guaranteed not to chip, crack or peel for three
years. Although it happens infrequently, we cannot promise
that some determined critter will not damage the floor with their
teeth. One must keep their eyes peeled for that overly destructive
animal and, especially, never put rabbits on coated flooring.
The finished rack stands close to four inches tall. A rack 21.5
x 27.5 weighs 13 lbs. These racks remain popular for two reasons.
One is their lower cost, and the other is for better circulation
of air when using a cage dryer after bathing.

OUR COATED ALUMINUM RACKS
were developed in 1995 in response to requests for even lighter
cage racks. These racks are made from high quality aluminum,
dipped in the same high quality plastisol as our other products.
The legs are 1/4 x 1 aluminum bar welded to a similar
frame. A 21.5 x 27.5 coated aluminum cage rack
weighs only 8.5 lbs. The height of these
floors is 2 1/4 from the floor to the top of the mesh. This
allows almost two inches additional head room for those larger dogs.
As with our original racks, the floors for larger cages have an
extra pair of legs in the middle. They have been more popular at
a rate of five to one than our original coated steel racks due to
their shorter height, lesser weight and ease of handling.
Both our coated aluminum and coated steel cage racks are designed
to hold the weight of the animals that will fit in the appropriate
size cage that the rack is made for.
They are not made to put into runs as resting platforms for oversized
animals or where human weight might be applied . Products for this
type of use can be special ordered .
We carry all standard sizes for Shoreline, Suburban and VSSI cages
as well as for other manufacturers such as Dirck and Snyder, with
most sizes in stock and ready to ship to you by U.P.S. . We can
also custom make similar racks for those tricky tapered fiberglass
cages or those home- made cages of various sizes.
