"Dog is man’s best friend" ... ...and you should take care of your friends. To take the dog along in the car is something most of us do, but in which way and how do we plan for our dogs being safe at their place? This brochure describes our safety-cages which give unique protection to both humans and animals during an unexpected accident. (If you buy one of these cages and the dog is insured at Agria, this offers benefits in addition (see last page).) The cages are constructed to reach the highest level of safety and are the only ones on the market that fulfil the demands at rear-end collisions. The safety cages are made of steel and are sprayed in grey and black shades. The locking mechanism has a sturdy hasp and keys. No features can hurt the dog. During an unexpected accident the escape door in the rear of the cage can be used. The cages are absolutely silent – no noise. All models are equipped with a rubber carpet. |
We have documentation from hundreds of crash-tests, where our protection details are used. Mim has followed the major car-manufacturers´ use of crumple-zones. The Variocage was developed based on our long experience in the production of safety accessories. The initial models were sold by the thousands and the recent models are today exported to many European countries. This are “the second generation” of

Double cage with crumple zone and detachable mid-section When you carry two dogs in the car, they should sit separately and not be able to reach one other. The mid-section easily adjusts sideways if one of the dogs needs more space. If you have a large dog or if you want to give a single dog more space, the mid-section is easily detached. The cage can easily be “tailor-made” for the car by the owner (see data below in metric measurements). |

Single cage with plenty of space The cage is safe and very practical. Space is left for other items. In a few simple adjustments the depth of the cage can be adjusted to the size of your car. (See data below in metric measurements.) |
Escape door If the front gates are blocked the escape door can be used. In a few simple operations the rear section can be removed. |
|
Crumple zone In a rear-end collision the cage will be compressed in a controlled manner to the same extent as the crumple zones of the car. This means that the rear seat back will not be pushed forward by the cage, minimizing the risk of damage to both passengers and dog. |
