Animal rescue & transport vans
Built around the animal’s welfare and the handler’s workflow.
Compartments sized to your intake, ventilation that works with the doors shut, and surfaces that hose out at the end of a run. For rescue organisations, shelters, county animal services and disaster animal sheltering operations.

Questions
What people ask before they order
Is this suitable for police K-9 use?
The build shown is configured for rescue and animal services — multiple compartments and amber warning lighting. A police K-9 unit is a different specification: usually one or two larger compartments, heat alarm with remote door release, and red and blue warning equipment. We can build either; tell us which.
Can you build a trailer version for larger intake?
Yes. Where a van doesn’t give you enough compartments — disaster animal sheltering, large shelter transfers — the same compartment system goes into a towable trailer with more capacity and its own climate control.
How long will it take?
120 to 240 days from a signed order, depending on the configuration and how much equipment has to be sourced. If you have a fixed date, tell us at quote stage and we’ll tell you honestly whether we can hit it rather than promising and missing.
What deposit is required and when is the balance due?
60% deposit to start the build, balance in full at pickup or before delivery. Financing is available if you need it. Government and school district orders work differently: tax-exempt billing, FOB destination, and Net 30 terms as standard.
Can you deliver to my state?
Yes. We deliver nationwide using our own insured team rather than a third-party carrier, so the people who built the unit are the people who hand it over. We’ve delivered from our Georgia facility to Illinois, Oregon and Michigan.
What does the warranty cover?
One year on structure, components and workmanship. Manufacturer warranties on installed equipment are transferred to you, and several of those run longer than a year.
Can I see it during the build?
Yes. We send progress photos as standard, and you’re welcome at the shop by arrangement. You approve the layout drawing before we start, so there are no surprises at handover.
