security and technology

Dropstitch is not yet very well known, although the German armed forces have used it for speedboats and motorboats for decades. Meanwhile, hundreds of thousands of enthusiastic surfers use inflatable Dropstitch boards made of this robust but pliable material.

Many thousands of threads (1) stabilize the walls of the TAMI dog box. The air pressure maintains the shape of the box and gives it a flexibility and springiness that we call the airbag function, which protects the dog in case of a sudden braking, a sharp turn or in the worst case of a collision. If the dog is thrown against the wall of the dog crate, the inner wall gives way and the strings collapse like mini springs. After that, they return to their original shape and the box returns to its normal form.

A special multi-layer lamination (2) creates a robust, airtight outer wall. A special film protects the top PVC layer from UV radiation. Inside the Tami dog crate there is no metal of any kind, only a cuddly skin and fur friendly protective surface. Of course, the dog box has fastening options to ensure safe anchoring in the vehicle. The zipper can be blocked with an intelligent system so that the dog cannot get out from the inside. Another safety feature is the emergency exit. This allows in the event of an accident, if the tailgate is stuck on the car, that the dog can be freed from inside the vehicle. Due to a large net all around, the Tami dog crate is well ventilated.

Airbag Function

 

Enthusiastic Tami Box owners told us that their driving safety has increased considerably. The reason is the flexible TAMI DOG BOX with a kind of "airbag function". With this knowledge you can fully concentrate on the traffic, whereas in the past you had to constantly take care of your dog, so that the dog does not slam into the hard side walls when cornering or braking hard.

Emergency exit
 

Another safety feature is the emergency exit. In the event of an accident, if the tailgate is stuck on the car, this allows the dog to be freed from inside the vehicle. Due to a large net all around, the Tami dog crate is well ventilated. We think we have created a welcome alternative for four-legged friends and their owners with this dog box design.

Air comfort floor cushioning
 

A stable inflatable floor provides perfect cushioning and pleasant compensation for any bump in the vehicle.  In contrast to the damping/suspension of car seats, which is "normal" for vehicle occupants, dog boxes in the trunk usually stand on a hard, unsprung trunk floor in the vehicle.

The TAMI boxes guarantee with the "Air-Comfort-Floor-Damping" an absolutely comfortable transport of your dog. Especially for older dogs with hip damage or similar, the TAMI Air-Comfort-Floor-Damping offers a considerable relief, and provides a maximum comfortable transport especially on uneven surfaces like potholes, bumps and off-road driving. The "Air-Comfort-Floor-Damping" is automatically activated when the TAMI Dogbox is inflated.
