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:

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

pet-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 Trailers Don't Need 'Tub Ramps'

June 01, 2009 By: admin Category: Grooming Ergonomics, Grooming equipment

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!

Grooming Trailer Axles

May 12, 2009 By: admin Category: Grooming equipment, Trailer Basics, Watchdog

grooming trailers companyThere is a lot of confusion over axles in the mobile pet grooming industry.  A common myth is that “two axles” on a grooming trailer is better than one.  Well, that depends…

The reason some grooming trailers have two axles is because of weight.  Most axles that are used in the industry can hold up to 3,500 pounds.  So if a grooming trailer conversion company builds large trailers that exceed 3,500 pounds, then a second axle is required by law.  However, if a conversion company is able to build efficiently, then the second axle is not needed–or wanted.

The second axle is not only a waste of money, but is actually a burden for the entrepreneur.  Because larger trailers with two axles cannot turn as easily as single axle trailers, the large mobile wears through tires at a much quicker pace–sometimes needing to change tires yearly instead of every 3 years as in GT’s case.  The reason is because double axle trailers don’t “turn”, they “side-skid.”  Side skidding eats through tire rubber like tissue paper.  

A common myth (perpetuated by companies who build only large trailers) is that a tire “blowout” is dangerous with a single axle trailer.  In reality, the trailer simply trails behind the truck safely–no dramatic scene at all.  Actually, most flat tires in the grooming trailer industry occur on double axle trailers!  The reason is because the first tire spits up nails and road debris directly into the second tire.  Next time you hear of a flat tire on a grooming trailer, ask if it was a single or double axle.

Because every detail of the GT grooming trailer is deliberate, the weight of the mobile is planned perfectly for a safe and smooth ride.  Adding a second axle would not only destroy our perfect formula, but would saddle our customers for years to come with unneeded maintenance.

“Follow The Leader.”

July 12, 2008 By: admin Category: GT Stuff, Watchdog

grooming trailers companyGT Grooming Trailers was the first to develop a professional-grade mobile grooming trailer. Building large is easy; building efficiently takes some thought. However, the followers still try to catch up to GT. GT’s marketing appeals to entrepreneurs’ intelligence while the copycats appeal to ignorance.

For example, a businessperson with sense is turned off when converters break the law, commit fraud to hijack a successful company’s web traffic, or out-right lie. However, hobbyists (mobile groomers who don’t make money) tend to be reeled in by those tactics (more…)
