Title: Buying a custom made metal cage pan/tray
Post by: Joyce on September 26, 2006, 04:10:35 PM
I would like to order a replacement metal cage pan for one of our cages.  It's a drop in not slide out  type.  The measurements are 24"x37" and roughly about 3" high.  The manufacturer no longer does them. 
Does anyone know where I could have one made and shipped to me?  I appreciate any help!

Have you asked Ralph?  I don't know if he will make custom pans or not, but it wouldn't hurt to ask.

::silly::If you can talk Ralph into doing it, it would be much more economical than where we had been having ours made ... Ralph's cost was about 1/2 what we were paying the local man to make ours.

Does Ralph have a web site? There is a cage I want but the tray is plastic and if I could find someone to make a metal one it would make a perfect cage.

No, he does not have a site.  I will call him or e-mail him today to ask if they are willing to make these pans.   :) If so I'll get the info needed to you.

I'm not sure if Nutritional Research will do custom pans.  They do sell ranch runs so I know they are probably set up to do them.  They also don't have a website but their phone number is: 1-800-456-4931

Joyce couldn't you find a local sheet metal place to make you one?
Any of the shops around here will make up stuff like that.I just bring in the measurements and they'll tell me what it will cost.
Just a thought

I go to the yellow pages first. ;)
