Finally, a convenience product that makes handling kennels a breeze.

Centralia, IL --- With the 2007 introduction of Kennel Carriers™, lifting, loading and carrying pet kennels is much easier.  No longer will people have to struggle to move bulky kennels or fight to load them into SUVs and vans.

The new Kennel Carriers ™ lifting system offers pet owners two ergonomically-designed handles that easily attach to any size plastic kennel. The pet owner decides exactly where to position them on the kennel’s top to make lifting and maneuvering the kennel in tight places easier and safer.

“Our six-year-old Deutch Drahthaar travels with us frequently so I know first-hand just how difficult transporting larger kennels can be without the Kennel Carriers,” according to Curt Lackey, the inventor of the system. “People would not transport luggage without a reliable way to lift them so why do kennel owners have to strain to lift kennels without a dependable lifting system?

The handles are crafted to fit to an adult’s hand. When not being used, the handles fold flat against the kennel. They are made of heavy-duty polypropropylene and the bolts are rust-resistant stainless steel for added strength.

The company has geared up for high consumer and pet retailer demand for the new product in 2007. “Pet owners already know just how inconvenient kennels are to transport. Just observe any of the thousands of families traveling with pets by automobile or air daily. Watch what they go through,” Lackey said.

Pet product retailers are equally excited about the new product because the new Kennel Carriers™ can be merchandised next to the various sizes and brands of kennels in their stores and turn under-utilized space into more profitable space, according to the manufacturer.

The new product satisfies the USDA requirements for animals being transported by airline workers.  USDA requirements state that kennels must have grips or handles for the workers to use to lift the kennels.

The Kennel Carries™ have a no-questions-asked lifetime replacement policy from the manufacturer. They install in minutes and the four stainless steel bolts, four washers and four nuts are included in each kit. The MSRP is $14.99.
