How much interior standing room?
Hanvey X3 has    42! sq.ft.
The Hanvey X3 has almost double the standing room so you and two other people can work together with ease.

Look closely at the floor space in front of the table, tub and secondary table/counter.  Room for one, two or three groomers!
 

   Don't Buy That Huge Shuttle Bus

X3		Theirs
	OR

Think about this.
 20-22 MPG X3      or     8 mpg Shuttle Bus Format?

No one offers more space in a HIGH mileage, easy to drive, easy to clean, non-bus grooming vehichle. If you are considering a large shuttle bus grooming van, keep in mind that the free floor space in the Hanvey X3 is comparable to most larger shuttle bus grooming vans. (Hanvey X3=42 sq.ft., their shuttle bus=45 sq.ft.)
 

14 Gauge Stainless Steel Custom Tub System (thicker than 16 gauge)

Removable Lexan side allows dog to walk directly into the tub
 from the grooming table! No ramp required!

A Hanvey Exclusive. A recessed drain basin eliminates the need for grating plus, the Bathing Beauty power bathing system always has enough water to operate properly but the dogs are never standing is water.

Little Dog Bathing Shelf Saves Your Back!

Important Papers, Journals and Log Storage

A not so obvious storage compartment under the passenger side floor.

Notice the overhead / over visor storage areas.
A very nice standard feature in the Sprinter cab.

Smelly, soggy, rotting subfloors are history!

Your investment is protected from value robbing water damage.

Put colorful graphics on the inside to customize your interior.
 

Want to add color to your new Hanvey X3's interior. Don't choose padded vinyl that will retain moisture and odor. Use exterior, waterproof graphics just like the graphics you put on the outside of your van.

The Hanvey Sprinter X3 interior has loads of white wall space that can have graphics applied just like you put on the outside of your van.

This is the only van designed that will allow significant graphics work inside the van too.

Easy, Full Access Rear Utilities Compartment

EZ-access and no vinyl covers to trap moisture or prevent heat circulation around plumbing during the winter months.

 Rear door access gives a wide open format equipment compartment with "next generation", fully integrated, modular, easy/quick change, low maintenance grooming equipment systems. Notice the wide open, easy access layout with everything within easy reach when you open the rear doors.

But, from the front of the van, none of the equipment is visible.

The Hanvey Hi "V" dryer system is designed specifically to meet the challenges of mobile grooming. The Hanvey Hi"V" system can operate at 10 amps yet work like a 16 amp dryer or operate at 14.5 amps with the optional second booster motor module. At 14.5 amps, the Hanvey Hi"V" system gives you the power found on most 20 amp dryers and is not as likely to trip a power breaker if you ever need to "plug in" or "shoreline" for AC power.

Look at this door!  Easy access, full height studio entry. No more stooping!

We abandoned the short door a long time ago.  Have you ever noticed how short the bulkhead wall door is in the competition's Elite*? You have to crawl through their door. The Endurance* does not even have a door in the wall between the cab and grooming area.

Maybe you have seen the mobile builder located in Florida that uses a curtain between the cab and the grooming area? You have certainly seen vans with no safety partition at all.

The hardest thing to comprehend is the fact that apparently the importance of having a door access between the cab and work area has been lost by one of our competitors that finally decided to add sprinters to their line-up. What is this new trend being started by our friends over at Wagntails*? Where did their door go?   This door is very important. Could it be that they could not fit a door into their design?  

Also notice that we are the first to include a window in this door  to eliminate several driving blind spots. This door window allows you to look through the door and through the vans sliding door window to see cars in the lane beside you.

Why is Hanvey the only builder willing to give you a professional grade clipper vacuum system as a standard?

Don't you hate it when you have a grooming van's price figured out but after you add on a few needed options, the cost of your dream in mobile increases by $3,000-$5000 over the advertised price? 

Hanvey made a decision to avoid this "price building" tactic.  If a groomer needs it, it is already a standard part of the design.

Hanvey was the first to make the electric table and clipper vacuum standard in our Hybrid Grooming Van (X3) line-up. 

Look at all of the natural light in our X3's.

It is not uncommon to find Hanvey mobile groomers working without their lights on because of our sky light vents and windows.

Most Hanvey Sprinter X3's are built on vans with windows in the passenger side door and the back doors. Couple this with the wonderful window we have designed into our bulkhead door and the overhead skylighting located directly above the cabinet, table and tub and you have one bright, comfortable work area.

You will not find this much natural lighting in any other mobile grooming van.

What about our lighting?

 X3's have 1 dual bulb 4' designer fluorescent light fixtures and 4 High intensity LED light fixtures that are used in ambulances due to their ability to generate enough light to satisfy lighting requirements for medical transport . Plenty of light on top of the natural light that comes from the sky light roof vents and windows if you choose a van with windows.  

Our Engineer loves to clearly see what he is working on in contrast against a somewhat darker background so he decided to carefully design a optional "directed" lighting system for the Hanvey X3's.  If you ever visit top rated production factories you will find highly ergonomic work stations that utilize variations of directed lighting systems. You have also seen directed lighting systems in  many of the new jewelry and clothing stores. Directed lighting and slightly darker walls or surroundings is why the rings, watches or "fab" clothes look so nice.

To accomplish his goal he selected full spectrum, halogen based ambulance ceiling lights.  EMT's require crisp, very clear, bright illumination of the patient in the ambulance while the old style fluorescent bulbs only give a dull subject illumination.  Test this out for yourself. Look at your hands under fluorescent lighting then step out into the sun or under a set of track lights and you will see and understand how directed lighting works.

Why are the walls not brightly illuminated with the optional directed lighting?

What they may see as low lighting on the wall is actually directed lighting in which we intentionally do not highly illuminate the walls which can make the interior look more softly lit. But wait, put a dog on the table or in the tub and the the dog glows with illumination many times brighter and more contrasting against the slightly darker walls.  This contrasting makes it very easy to see what you are doing and helps you see even the smallest hairs because they glow with crisp, full spectrum light. This hair "glow" is even visible in the photo below.

If you select the optional "Directed Lighting" system, you will love this carefully crafted lighting layout coupled with the wonderful sunlight from the sky lights.

The X3 interior is designed for fast and easy clean-up and maximum protection against water damage.

The X3 interior is design to be simple and easy to maintain.  Our goal is to design a "look" that is  "clean", easy to keep clean, "uncluttered", fresh smelling and "professional" while taking advantage of the latest technologies to prevent water damage and minimize odor problems.

No lights or camera flash were used to make the picture to the left! Look at how bright the natural lighting is in the Hanvey X3.  Plus, bright full spectrum, directed DC lights when you need them.

Both roof vents also serve as skylights.   Notice the bright vent at top center of  this picture.  One sky light vent is located over the grooming table area.   The second is located over the tub area.   The large standard side door entry window adds even more light.  X3 can be purchased with a third venting skylight.    Rear door windows are optional on some Sprinters. Optional Hanvey 700 Elevator table shown here.

 Open the back door and everything including the plumbing and equipment is easy to access.

In older Ford grooming van designs, plumbing was "built-in".  In fact, some plumbing could not be accessed without removing tanks and wall panels.  The X3 gives you easy access to all plumbing.  Easy, slide in, slide out water pumps change out in seconds and there are no hidden areas that can freeze in the middle of a cold winter night.

A Hanvey First!  Both water tanks can be easily removed in about two minutes!  If you need to clean the gray water tank, take it out, open its top cap and clean it out.  It simply can't get any easier than this!

A view port allows you to easily see the water level in the fresh water tank.

Here is another Hanvey Exclusive!

The Hanvey whole tank, warm water system means that you never run out of warm bathing water!

The entire fresh water tank is insulated and kept warm and ready for use throughout the day.   Eliminates the need for hot water heater electrical power usage during the work day (except as a backup water heating source) thus reducing power demands during the work day.   65 gallons of warm water without the worry of having a hot water heater trip a circuit breaker.
The simplicity is a welcomed change for those of you who have owned older propane and electric hot water tank mobile grooming vans.
