Did you know that the back of a commercial van can heat up to dangerous temperatures in just a matter of minutes? When you’re transporting dogs, airflow isn’t a luxury—it’s a lifesaver.
Summer might be the best time for long dog walks, but it’s also the most dangerous time for animal transport. A standard metal van acts like a greenhouse. If you are upgrading your vehicle with dog cages for vans, ventilation must be a top priority in your conversion plan.
At Wrapvehicles and VanDogCages.com, we don’t just build the steel cages; we look at the entire environment of the vehicle to ensure optimum comfort and airflow.
Bulkhead Cut-Outs for Instant Airflow
A solid metal bulkhead blocks the air conditioning in your cab from reaching the dogs in the back. Our team can perform professional bulkhead cut-outs, either leaving them open or securing them with durable steel mesh. This allows cool AC air to flow directly into the animal transit area.
Roof Extractors & 12V Electric Vents
To push hot, stagnant air out and pull fresh air in, we install premium roof vents. Depending on your budget and needs, you can choose from:
- Wind-Driven Roof Vents: Cost-effective solutions that extract hot air as the van moves.
- 12V Electric Powered Roof Vents: The ultimate climate control, capable of circulating air even when the van is parked in traffic.
Combined with our breathable, powder-coated steel mesh doors, these ventilation upgrades ensure the dogs in your care stay relaxed, cool, and happy.
Upgrade your van’s climate control before the heatwave hits! Visit VanDogCages.com to see our ventilation options, or email us to get a custom quote for your van dog cage conversion.
