Said Gigi would get crate for transporting pet (8)
I believe the answer is:
horsebox
'said gigi' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.
'crate for transporting pet' is the wordplay.
'crate' becomes 'box' (I've seen this in another clue).
'for' means one lot of letters go next to another (I've seen this in other clues).
'transporting pet' becomes 'horse' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'box' put after 'horse' is 'HORSEBOX'.
'would get' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for horsebox that I've seen before include "road trailer" , "Equine conveyance" , "Animal transporter" , "Equine transporter" , "It takes animals to the races" .)
