Sliding Rear Door - Rigid Live Transfer Traps
Transfer Live Traps are made with the same great design, materials, and specifications as our Single Door Traps, with the addition of a convenient rear sliding door that allows for the easy baiting, and transferring of animals. The rear sliding door feature ultimately keeps the handler out of striking distance because he never has to get close to the trapped animal. It eliminates the need to reset the front trap door to release the animal. It also eliminates the need to reach all the way through the trap to position the bait beyond the trip pan. With a rear sliding door, the handler just unhooks the safety snap on the rear sliding door and pulls up on its handle. This is the easiest way to release a trapped animal, or bait a trap.
Deluxe Transfer Traps also feature a sturdy frame that is constructed of heavy 12, 14, or 16 gauge galvanized steel wire mesh for maximum resistance to rust and corrosion. An open fabric construction allows the animals to see through the trap in all directions and enter the trap with confidence. Galvanized steel rods are welded to the wire mesh frame for extra support and reinforcement. A spring loaded, automatic locking V-door, securely and safely traps the animal inside the trap immediately after the animal steps onto the trip pan, located at the back of the trap. Galvanized 1/2 by 1/2 inch wire mesh openings are welded to the bait areas to prevent animals from reaching through the outside of the trap. A super fast spring loaded door eliminates the chance of the animal backing out of the trap before the door springs shut and locks into place. The special locking system and the heavy reinforcement of the trap door prohibits the animal from forcing the door open, even if the animal manages to turn the trap upside down. This makes our Live Traps perform well when trapping animals at any angle. Deluxe Transfer Traps are also equipped with an adjustable trigger release mechanism that allows for heavy or light sets. Most of these traps include a protective piece of galvanized sheet metal under the safety handle of the trap, to protect the handler against scratches from the trapped animal. Transfer traps are available in a variety of different sizes, ranging from rat to large dog.
