Product Description
Aluminum Dog Box: Side-Opening Doors and Adjustable Vents for Working Hunters. Made in the USA by AMERICAN TRUCKBOXES ATB®
This aluminum dog box is purpose-built for hunters and working dog owners who need a durable, functional box that keeps dogs secure and comfortable in the truck bed. Side-opening doors give you direct, low-effort access to your dogs at the kennel, while adjustable position-locking vents let you control airflow on the fly no matter the weather. Every unit is manufactured by American Truckboxes LLC in Blanchard, North Dakota, where ATB® has been building heavy-duty truck storage for over 25 years. Available in eight size variants across single-door and double-door configurations, with widths from 24" to 46" and heights from 18" to 30" to match your truck bed and dog count.
- Full side access: Side-opening door design puts your dogs within reach without awkward reaching over the tailgate or box lid.
- Adjustable airflow: Position-locking air vents let you dial in ventilation and lock settings in place, keeping dogs cool in summer and protected in cold weather.
- Slip-resistant footing: Rubber floor matting gives dogs secure, comfortable footing on rough roads and during transport.
- Carry handles: Fold-down carrying handles make moving the box in and out of the truck bed a two-person job instead of a struggle.
- High-security locks: High-secure locking hardware keeps doors closed and dogs contained, even on rough terrain.
- Easy to clean: Smooth, flat interior bottom wipes down fast after a day in the field.
- Hunting gear storage: Optional top compartment adds space for vests, leads, training equipment, or other gear.
- Diamond tread plate finish: All-aluminum diamond TP construction is lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and holds up to field use year after year.
- Eight size options: Single-door (24" wide) and double-door (46" wide) variants in multiple height and depth combinations to fit your setup.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Where is this aluminum dog box made?
A: This dog box is made in the USA by American Truckboxes LLC, headquartered in Blanchard, North Dakota. ATB® has been manufacturing heavy-duty aluminum truck storage products for over 25 years. You can learn more at truckbox.com.
Q: What warranty comes with this dog box?
A: Standard A-DK31 dog boxes carry a 60-month (5-year) limited warranty. Custom or modified boxes carry a 12-month limited warranty. The warranty applies to the original purchaser only and is non-transferable. Contact truckbox.com or call (888) 996-0376 for full warranty terms.
Q: Can I order a custom size aluminum dog box?
A: Yes, custom sizes are available outside the standard size range. Custom and modified boxes carry a 12-month limited warranty instead of the standard 5-year coverage. Reach out at truckbox.com or call (888) 996-0376 to discuss your requirements.
Q: How do the adjustable air vents work on the A-DK31 dog box?
A: The A-DK31 features position-locking air vents that you can open, close, or set to any position in between, then lock in place so they stay put during transport. This lets you control airflow based on outside temperature and driving conditions without the vents shifting on their own. It is a practical feature for hunters running dogs in variable weather.
Q: Should I choose the single-door or double-door configuration?
A: The single-door box is 24" wide and suited for one dog or a compact truck bed setup. The double-door box is 46" wide and designed to house two dogs side by side, each with their own door for independent access. If you run a brace of hunting dogs or want to separate dogs during transport, the double-door is the practical choice.
Q: Does the rubber floor matting stay in place inside the dog box?
A: The rubber floor matting sits inside the box to give dogs grip and cushioning during transport. It is designed to stay in position during normal use and can be removed for cleaning after a day in the field. The smooth, flat interior bottom underneath also wipes down easily.
Q: Are the locks on this dog box secure enough to keep a large or determined dog inside?
A: The A-DK31 uses high-secure locks on each door, built to keep doors latched even if a dog pushes or paws at them during transport. For specific questions about lock hardware or if you have a particularly escape-prone dog, call (888) 996-0376 or visit truckbox.com to talk through your situation before ordering.
