GT Grooming Trailer & Pet Groomer Resource.

GT Grooming Trailers changed the industry by being the FIRST conversion company to produce an efficient mobile grooming trailer.  We even had the most advanced website in the industry.  That was years ago, and not only has our grooming trailer design changed, but our website needs are changing too.

We will be unveiling our new website in about one month.  We will have UP-TO-DATE pictures of our trailers and and show the other packages and services that GT Grooming Salons offers.  Please bookmark this site so you can see how GT, again, is changing/leading the mobile grooming industry.

UPDATE (08/26/10): Building 15 grooming trailers at once has delayed the development our new website, it should be ready by the end of September!

With 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.

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.

I continue to be amazed at how some grooming trailer converters boast about their “engineering” and “ergonomics” specialties yet fail to use some common sense when it comes to installing lights.

The best place to have lights in a mobile grooming trailer is ON THE CEILING–NOT DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF YOUR EYES.  All GT pet grooming trailers have lights on the ceiling.  We have 16 feet of tubes with diffusers to provide the best quality light we can.  

When shopping for a mobile grooming salon, be sure to see where interior lights are installed.  Make sure they are NOT in your line of site when bathing or grooming a dog. The configuration that you see in this photo is our standard grooming trailers lighting package and provides the groomer with more than enough light to work in–even in the evening!

My wife, Kim, is the Highlands Ranch mobile groomer.  She’s been gooming for about ten years and saves over $5,000 each year by simply being smart about her grooming trailer.  This strategy won’t work in hotter climates, but here in Colorado it is easy to save over five grand each year by not using a generator on her grooming trailer.  

Once the numbers are crunched, it is easy to see how much of a drain a generator really is.  In addition to the initial cost of installing a quality machine, there are expenses such as fuel, oil and filter changes, etc.  In order to keep a warranty, regular services must be maintained.

We’ve been teaching for a few years now that the money saved can pay for a week in Hawaii, and Kim has decided to surprise me with another (much needed) vacation!  No wonder why so many mobile dog groomers look to her for guidance!  Yes, mobile grooming is  a great way  to make a living.

Grooming Trailer financing SCAMS are everywhere!

It’s true, finding financing for trailers is more difficult than for vans. Therefore, some grooming trailer conversion companies are quick to refer shoppers to just about anything that resembles a real finance company.

Some companies will refer you to a site where you can actually apply on-line–DON’T DO IT!

Intelligent design is becoming rare in the mobile grooming conversion industry. Most conversion companies are lazy and force their customers to use a design that is more suited for storing groceries. (more…)
