L442 vs L388: Which Pet Carrier Wheel Kit Fits Yours?

Start with your carrier model, not the wheel count

Both Ferplast kits give you four wheels — two fixed and two pivoting with brake — so the number of wheels won't help you decide. The real question is which kit is designed for the dog carrier you already own or plan to buy. The L442 is specified for the Atlas Car 80, Atlas Car 100 and Atlas Car Scenic. The L388 is intended for larger carriers such as the Atlas 70. If your carrier model isn't listed, check the carrier's own instructions or contact the retailer before ordering; the supplied information doesn't confirm fit for other models.

What each kit is designed to fit

• Kit wheels L442: The L442 set of wheels is described as perfect for the Atlas Car (80 and 100) and Atlas Car Scenic dog carriers. If you own one of these Atlas Car models, the L442 is the kit the manufacturer ties to that carrier.

  

• L388 KIT 4 WHEELS: The L388 kit is described as perfect for larger pet carriers, like the Atlas 70. This points you to the L388 when your carrier is a larger model such as the Atlas 70, rather than an Atlas Car 80/100 or Scenic.

  

How the two kits compare on paper

• Wheel set: Both kits contain 4 wheels: 2 fixed and 2 pivoting with brake.
• Intended carrier: L442: Atlas Car 80, Atlas Car 100 and Atlas Car Scenic. L388: larger carriers such as the Atlas 70.
• Installation: Both are described as easy to install; the L388 kit includes special screws and easy assembly instructions in the package. The L442 listing says it is easy to install but does not list included screws in the supplied text.
• Price: Both are listed at the same catalog price of USD 39.43 (comparison price USD 63.60), so price doesn't separate them.

Before you order: a quick fit check

1. 1. Identify your carrier model: Look for the model name on the carrier or in its manual — for example Atlas Car 80, Atlas Car 100, Atlas Car Scenic or Atlas 70.
2. 2. Match the model to the kit: Atlas Car 80, 100 or Scenic → L442. Larger carriers like the Atlas 70 → L388.
3. 3. Check the wheel hardware: The L388 kit includes special screws and assembly instructions. The supplied L442 information doesn't list screws, so confirm what's in the box if you need them.
4. 4. Plan for the brake: Each set has two pivoting wheels with brake. Decide where you want the braked wheels on your carrier before you fix them in place.

What the supplied information doesn't tell you

The records don't give wheel diameter, load capacity or a full list of compatible carriers beyond the models named. They also don't specify whether the L442 kit includes mounting screws. If your carrier is a different model, or you need exact dimensions, treat those as open questions to confirm with the retailer rather than assuming either kit will fit.
