A ute dog box gives your working dog or family pet a safe, locked space on the back of the tray. Ours are aluminium part canopies with a mesh dog cage, made to sit on a flat ute tray.
There are two styles: full dog boxes with a swinging internal lid, and part canopy, part dog box models that carry your dog and your gear.
Outside sizes in millimetres: length across the tray x depth x height. The height is 820mm.
