“Duties” explained. 

A long, long time ago (in a galaxy far, far away?), we discovered that professional handlers wanted to select as many features as possible for items that had direct contact with their animals. 

Things like color, shape, dimensional size, weight, and, yes, wall thickness were on everyone’s agenda. 

Some wanted relatively small items with very thick walls, while others wanted exactly the opposite: big items that were relatively light. We needed a way to differentiate. Enter “duties”. 

No matter the item’s physical size, its wall thickness (and therefore its weight!) will increase as we progress up the scale of Light – Medium – Heavy – Extra Heavy – and, Severe Heavy Duties. 

The main issue to remember is that a specific duty, say Heavy Duty, is a different wall thickness on smaller items than on larger items. The wall thicknesses on every item and every duty are published to ease your decision. 

Don’t see a wall thickness you want? No problem. Contact us toll-free at 1-866-793-0376 and we will provide a custom quote on exactly what you need.
