Owens 55312 Tactical K9 Dog Crate – Large, Left-Side Entry, Black

Owens 55312 Professional K9 Tactical Dog Crate – Large Left-Side Entry

Build your working-dog transport setup around the access you need with the Owens 55312 Professional K9 Series Tactical Dog Crate. This large aluminum dog kennel with left-side entry combines heavy-duty construction, reinforced door hardware and vehicle tie-down points for demanding police K9, military working dog and professional training routines.

Model 55312 has the entry door on the LEFT side rather than the right. Confirm this door orientation suits your setup before ordering.

Heavy-Duty Aluminum Construction for Working Dogs

Manufactured from .090-inch mill-finish aluminum and fully powder coated in textured black inside and out, the Owens 55312 is built for frequent handling and heavy daily use. Its single-compartment design measures 36" W × 24" D × 29" H overall, giving handlers a defined footprint for planning vehicle placement and kennel arrangements.

Whether you need a police K9 transport crate, a black tactical dog kennel or a heavy-duty working dog crate with side entry, the Owens 55312 offers purpose-built features for busy operational and training schedules.

Double-Wall Door with 3-Point Latching

The double-wall door features a stainless steel T-handle with a 3-point latching system for strength and security. An interior cover shields the locking mechanism to help deter dogs from biting or manipulating the hardware. The door is also slotted to accommodate a crate cooling fan.

Practical Handling and Vehicle Attachment Points

Spring-loaded, rattle-free carrying handles help with lifting and positioning, while heavy-duty D-rings provide attachment points for securing the kennel in your vehicle. The left-side entrance provides an alternative access configuration when a right-side door would be inconvenient or obstructed.

From daily training to transport between assignments, the Owens 55312 Professional K9 Series large tactical dog crate combines rugged aluminum construction with practical access for working dogs and their handlers.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is the 55312 different from the 55310?
The door on the 55312 is located on the left side of the crate rather than the right — it is the opposite-side-door version, per Owens.

Can the Owens 55312 be used for airline travel?
No — Owens notes the optional airline kit does not work with a side door crate. Order the 55308 end door crate and the 55254 airline compliant kit instead.
