From mobile dog grooming salons to coffee, beverage and entirely new business concepts, we turn your ideas into purpose-built mobile works of art.
Inspired by the artistry behind our name, VanGoColorado combines creativity, craftsmanship and practical engineering. Every inch, every component and every detail is considered to create a workspace as functional as it is beautiful.
Dream it. Design it. Let's build it.
Not all mobile grooming vans are built the same. Our materials, structural approach and integrated systems are chosen for durability, efficiency and the demands of everyday work.
Custom welded framing for bulkheads, equipment rooms, water-tank supports and tub structures offers a strong, lightweight, corrosion-resistant foundation. Our bulkheads are designed as a protective barrier between cab occupants and salon equipment; collision protection is not a crash-test certification.
Durable, moisture-resistant, nonporous wall surfaces are easy to clean and maintain, helping your salon retain a professional appearance.
Compact mechanical compartments keep tanks, batteries and equipment organized, preserving valuable square footage for the working salon.
High-capacity lithium batteries and inverters power your business without an onboard generator. Multi-day operation may be possible depending on load and configuration, with plug-in overnight charging.
No laminated wood cores. Our nonporous HDPE cabinets resist water absorption, swelling and rot, and are easy to clean for demanding grooming environments.
Battery-powered DC cooling avoids the inverter conversion losses associated with running conventional AC units from a battery. Actual energy use varies by system and conditions.
Our welded aluminum frameworks are planned down to the inch. The equipment room is sized to efficiently house the systems that power your business, without taking more salon space than necessary.
Integrated framing surrounds and supports water tanks and provides mounting for batteries, inverters, water heaters, heating systems and other equipment. Separating mechanical systems from the salon helps create a cleaner, more comfortable workspace.
Our lithium battery and inverter systems are built around the needs of your mobile business. Without a running onboard generator, there's no generator exhaust, engine noise or vibration at the grooming site.
Energy-saving LED lighting, direct-DC air conditioning and high-efficiency gas-fired water heaters work together to reduce electrical demand while supporting comfortable grooming and hot water on demand.
Runtime, recharge time and hot-water delivery depend on equipment selection, battery capacity, water and fuel availability, and usage.
Discuss Your BuildAlready have a mobile grooming van or another mobile business vehicle? VanGoColorado can upgrade your existing electrical system with a custom-designed combination of solar panels, lithium batteries, and inverter power—reducing your dependence on shore-power hookups and noisy standalone generators.
Roof-mounted solar panels help replenish your lithium batteries whenever sunlight is available, including while you're parked between appointments.
High-capacity lithium batteries store energy for your mobile business, while a properly sized inverter powers compatible 120V AC equipment.
We can install a compatible DC lithium charging system supplied by an engine-mounted generator or dedicated alternator, allowing your batteries to recharge as you travel.
Solar can charge your battery bank throughout the day, while engine-powered DC charging adds energy during your drive between jobs. With properly designed charging equipment and controls, both sources can be integrated into the same lithium battery system.
The result is quiet, battery-powered operation at the job site with less reliance on external hookups or a separate generator. We evaluate your existing equipment, daily power use, roof space, vehicle charging capability, and battery capacity to design the right conversion.
Solar output, charging rates, runtime and the ability to operate without hookups depend on weather, vehicle compatibility, system sizing and actual equipment use.
