Folks keep asking us where we get all of our stainless steel equipment. Well, we build it ourselves. We understand why customers think that it is publicly available because so many other conversion companies simply purchase their stainless tubs from other companies and attach them to the floor of their grooming vans or trailers. They even may try to pass it off as their own. (more…)
GT is looking out for you! Make sure to look at the BIG picture when considering grooming van mileage. A trend is developing that advertises the Sprinter mileage as a selling point. The big picture, though, needs to take into account that some of the Sprinter designs on the market can only operate the AC when the engine is running. Therefore, the REAL MILEAGE of the grooming van is much less than may be advertised. Not only will the gas bill skyrocket, consider what an additional 40 hours per week of engine wear and tear will cost you. Then ask yourself, “Why would a company advertise the mileage when they know that normal van operation would distort the data so drastically?”
With summer around the corner, the inevitable topic of “heat” is going to be on all mobile dog groomers’ minds. A great advantage of grooming in a GT Grooming Trailer over some vans is how the subject of heat is dealt with. Our grooming trailer has an insulated ceiling and the roof is made with reflective aluminum. What this means is that the sun won’t heat up the inside of your trailer as much as if it were a van that has a white painted steel roof. Some vans insulate the ceiling but do so at a tremendous sacrifice. Our previous post mentioned the low head clearance that some vans have, so insulating those ceilings actually increases that problem. With the GT Grooming Trailer, neither of these important design issues are sacrificed.
