It can be described as "ultra-lightweight". While typical metal crates weigh between 20 and 30 kg , the Tami dog crate weighs just 6 kg in a medium size, folds down into a small package, and is above all easy to carry and store. This makes the problem of finding a suitable place for your dog a thing of the past.
For example, inflating the TAMI trunk box M with the TAMI foot pump (included) only takes about 20 seconds.
The box remains folded up in the trunk, where it has a maximum height of only 20 cm.
Whether by plane, rental car, vacation apartment or camper van, the TAMI dog crate is a great choice for your vacation! When folded, it fits through ANY door!
Dropstitch is not yet widely known, although the German Armed Forces have been using it for decades for speedboats and motorboats. Meanwhile, hundreds of thousands of enthusiastic surfers use inflatable dropstitch boards made from this robust yet flexible material.
Thousands of threads (1) stabilize the walls of the TAMI dog crate. Air pressure maintains the crate's shape and gives it a flexibility and springiness that we call an airbag function, protecting the dog in the event of sudden braking, a sharp turn, or, in the worst case, a collision. Should the dog be thrown against the crate wall, the inner wall gives way, and the threads collapse like miniature springs. They then return to their original shape, and the crate regains its normal form.
A special multi-layered lamination (2) creates a robust, airtight outer wall. A special film protects the top PVC layer from UV radiation. The interior of the Tami dog crate contains no metal, only a soft, skin- and fur-friendly protective surface. Naturally, the dog crate has fastening options to ensure secure anchoring in the vehicle. The zipper can be locked with a clever system, preventing the dog from escaping. Another safety feature is the emergency exit. In the event of an accident, if the tailgate of the vehicle becomes jammed, this allows the dog to be freed from inside the vehicle. A large mesh panel all around the crate provides excellent ventilation.
Enthusiastic Tami-Box owners have told us that their driving safety has increased considerably. The reason for this is the flexible TAMI dog box with a kind of "airbag function." Knowing this allows you to fully concentrate on the road, whereas before you constantly had to be mindful of your dog to prevent it from being thrown against the hard side walls during cornering or sudden braking.
Air comfort floor cushioning
A stable, inflatable base provides perfect cushioning and comfortable compensation for any bumps in the vehicle's road surface. Unlike the cushioning/suspension of car seats, which is "normal" for vehicle occupants, dog crates in the trunk typically rest on a hard, unsprung trunk floor.
TAMI dog boxes guarantee an exceptionally comfortable journey for your dog thanks to their air-comfort floor cushioning. Especially for older dogs with hip problems or similar issues, the TAMI air-comfort floor cushioning provides significant relief and ensures maximum comfort, even on uneven surfaces like potholes, bumps, and off-road journeys. The floor cushioning activates automatically when the TAMI dog box is inflated.
Another safety feature is the emergency exit. In the event of an accident, if the tailgate jams, this allows the dog to be freed from inside the vehicle. A large mesh panel all around ensures good ventilation for the Tami dog crate. We believe this dog crate design offers a welcome alternative for dogs and their owners.
