Thule's Allax range is a really smart and undoubtedly premium-quality take on the long-established concept of the variable length dog cage. Allax comes with the reassurance of crash-tested safety, to TÜV SÜD standards, and if correctly positioned these cages will contain even the heaviest dogs in a vehicle crash, giving fully-reliable protection to the human passengers.
With a 'crumple zone' - more of a telescoping section - a burst-proof door and a rear escape hatch, and with a smart juxtaposition of black steel and silver aluminium parts, and with the variable length allowing more flexibility in the range of vehicles that a particular cage will fit, we think Allax is not only the best of its type (metal cages with a steel back) but also good value for money.
This is the size XS, 50cm wide by 50cm high, adjustable in length from 66cm to 72cm, weight 15.5kg. Our database will tell you if this cage will fit your vehicle.

The Thule Allax is a range of very well-designed, well-engineered and well-made crash-tested dog cages for use only in the car boot. Allax are available in 10 sizes so, depending of course on the size of your dog or dogs, and the type of car you tend to drive, Allax can be a product that you can take from vehicle to vehicle. The product on this page is the Allax XS - 50cm wide by 50cm high by 66cm to 72cm long; it weighs 15.5kg as supplied and can take a maximum load of 25kg. Apart from its styling and quality, core to the Allax design is the ability to change its length - the word 'depth' is also suitable here - the measurement from the back of the cage, where it sits against the back of the rear seat, to the door of the cage. This flexibility allows the cage to fit into more vehicles, perhaps to provide space for a folded bumper protector - between the front edge of the cage and the inside edge of the tailgate - and can also act as an additional 'crumple zone' / deformation zone if the cage is extended and there's enough force to reduce its length. In reality the cage is telescopic, longer or shorter, and is unlikely to crumple. All modern vehicles include front and rear 'crumple zones' which are designed to dissipate impact energy across these zones, reducing the energy transferred to the passenger compartment. But even so, the residual energy involved in even a 30mph crash is massive, and only a properly crash-tested and certified restraint can be relied upon to prevent a dog from being thrown forward at great speed and with surprisingly large force, potentially causing great harm to the human passengers. Even in a rear-end collision at only 30mph a dog can be thrown forward with a force that can be 25 times its bodyweight; for example, a large male Labrador can weigh the equivalent of almost 1 tonne, a weight which takes a lot of stopping. It therefore makes sense to use a crash-tested cage, if you can, correctly positioned against the back of the rear seat. Note that all modern rear seats include an internal structure of steel or aluminium which will comply with the relevant vehicle safety legislation. Front-end collisions happen much more often than rear collisions and tend to generate even larger forces.

Fitting PDFs Assembling a Thule Allax and fitting it into a car The Allax is a pleasure to assemble. There's only one type of Allen bolt, and these are easily screwed in by hand so that only final tightening is done with the 5mm Allen key provided. The side bars, which are different lengths, are all identified by number, and come in two cartons, one marked Left and one marked Right. Match the bar numbers with the numbers on the locating points; assembly is straightforward, quick, and easy. |
