Grooming Trailer Floors

June 14, 2009 By: admin Category: GT Stuff

drain-mobile-grooming-trailNOBODY builds grooming trailer floors like GT Grooming Trailers! Not only was GT the FIRST to install drains in the floor for easy cleaning, but the differences also include:

  • 100% sealed floor 6 inches up the wall.
  • Even the mechanical compartment is sealed (compare that to others).
  • The trailer floor is completely undercoated (compare that to others).
  • Most of the grooming equipment is suspended off the floor for easy mopping (compare that to others).
  • Available in different colors (compare that to others).

So, if you see other moible dog grooming trailer companies advertising the same kind of details on their trailers, remember that GT was not only the first, but continues to be the best in quality.

Grooming Trailers Customer Service

June 13, 2009 By: admin Category: GT Stuff, Trailer Customers

We at GT Grooming Trailers pride ourselves on how we treat our customers AFTER the sale as well.  Purchasing a grooming trailer has long-term consequences for the groomer, so making sure to purchase from a reputable company is important.  We just received this email:

“ It’s no wonder you guys do well with your business. Your service after the sale is top notch. THANKS for everything!” Ray

We try to keep in touch with our customers as much as possible.  We’ve even gone on “customer service tours” making sure to stop at as many former customers as we can offering inspections, tips, and touch-ups.  Our construction uses only the best equipment, our craftsmanship is unmatched, and our commitment to making our customers (past and present) happy is our primary goal.  Please, browse some of our testimonials, give us a call, or make an appointment for a showing!

Shampoo Storage For Grooming Trailers

ONLY GT Grooming Trailers has so much storage for your shampoos!  Almost every other grooming trailer company has nearly ZERO space for your soaps, but GT has a shelf perfectly designed to hold over eight gallons of your favorite shampoos.  

The other companies may have a little “ledge” or “caddy” for you to fit a couple tiny bottle of soap, but nobody has as much room as GT.  Our shampoo storage shelf can be customized in a number of ways for you if you desire, is in the PERFECT place for easy access, and is integrated into the bathing center.  

With GT, you don’t need to “open a cabinet” to find your shampoos, you simply lift your hand up and apply the needed soap.  EVERYTHING IS EASY with GT!

No More Guessing

pet-wash-trailer-waterWith GT Grooming Trailers, there is no more guessing how much water is left in your 55 gallon fresh water tank.  Even though our enormous tanks can last a typical day, it is nice to be able to SEE how much water is remaining.  All GT grooming trailers are built with a “window” below the bathtub showing precisely how much water is remaining.

Building smart is our niche.  Our tanks are custom built for GT so we can have some of the largest water tanks in the industry.  By using custom tanks, we are able to install our mechanical items in a more efficient manner than the competition–allowing us to provide MORE working space in a smaller overall trailer.

EVERYTHING is thought out.  Instead of using big-box hardware store tubs, we fabricate our own bathing center. The bathing center doesn’t “sit on legs” like the competition because our trailer shells are built EXCLUSIVELY FOR GT and are framed precisely for our bathing center to be bolted into the grooming trailer’s framing.  Again, this allows GT to use the area under the tub more efficiently which provides a much larger work area.

Grooming Trailer Design 101

This is a picture of a pet grooming trailer we completed just a couple days ago.  When Jerry came out to pick it up, he was really excited to see that the GT grooming trailer is even more spacious and well-designed than he expected!  

One feature that Jerry noticed is how GT keeps the doorway clear from cabinets and other clutter (see grooming trailers floorplan for example).  It’s true, our cabinets and storage areas in the front of our salons are built to effeciently store  all your needed equipment yet still allow easy access to through our custom-made 26″ door.  

How can we do this?  GT fabricates all our stainless steel features–we DON’T simply screw big box hardware store wooden cabinets to the floor which rot, wobble apart, and yes–stick out in front of the door.

Another SMART Grooming Trailer Feature

GT Grooming Trailers builds all of our grooming trailers with the possibility of our customers wanting to expand their mobile dog grooming empire.  Groomers who hire employees can max out their profits by allowing their grooming trailer to be out on the road seven days a week.  With GT’s grooming caddy, it is EASY for groomer #1 to remove his personal equipment and for groomer #2 to bring her’s in!  Simply pull out the push-pins and the grooming caddy comes off!  Even grooming companies that are one-man outfits find that the GT design allows for easier cleaning.

Grooming Trailers Don't Need 'Tub Ramps'

grooming-trailers-ramps

The GT Grooming Trailer does not need a ramp to help larger dogs into its stainless steel tub. Many “shop” groomers bring their assumption into the mobile industry, but soon learn that “shop” grooming and “mobile” grooming are two completely different things.

The GT  Grooming Trailer has a hydraulic table that is only about 12 inches from the tub.  GT can build any size table top you want, with ports, rubberized to match your floor, etc.  We can place the tables closer to the tub if lifting larger dogs into the tub is going to be a concern.

Once a large dog is on the table, simply just let the grooming table do the lifting for you!  Once raised, the pet is within stepping distance of the tub.  With GT, there is no hassle of storing a useless ramp (I’ve never known a dog to actually USE a ramp).  EVERYTHING IS EASY with GT!
