FAQs

How do I ensure the Thule Allax crate fits my car?

Use the Thule Fit Assistant tool on their website or consult the printed fit guide. Measure your vehicle's cargo space and compare it with the crate's dimensions, paying attention to the adjustable length.

What makes this crate 'crash-tested'?

The crate has undergone rigorous testing simulating front, rear, and roll-over collisions to evaluate its structural integrity and ability to protect the occupant.

Is the gas-damped door noisy?

No, the gas-damped mechanism is designed for soft, quiet opening and closing, minimizing disturbances for your dog.

Can the crate be cleaned easily?

Yes, it can be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild soap. Ensure it is completely dry before your dog uses it again.

What is the purpose of the crumple zone?

The crumple zone is an engineered feature designed to deform and absorb energy during a rear-end collision, thereby reducing the force transmitted to the dog inside the crate.

How heavy is the Thule Allax XXL Compact crate?

The crate weighs approximately 27.3kg.

What is the maximum weight capacity for a dog in this crate?

The maximum load weight for a dog in this crate is 55kg.

Troubleshooting

Crate door is difficult to close.

Ensure the crate frame is square and not under stress. Check for any obstructions near the latch or hinges. Lubricate hinges lightly if necessary.

Crate rattles during transit.

Verify that the adjustable length is set correctly and the crate is snug within the vehicle. Ensure all assembly components are tightened.

Dog seems anxious in the crate.

Ensure the crate is the correct size for your dog (not too big, not too small). Gradually introduce your dog to the crate with positive reinforcement. Make sure the environment inside the crate is comfortable.

Assembly seems challenging.

Refer to the detailed instruction manual provided with the crate. Watch any available video guides from Thule for visual assistance.
