Portable & Static Grooming Tables – Compact & Reliable
Portable & static grooming tables give salons, mobile teams, and show handlers a stable, professional workspace without powered lifts. Built for everyday durability, these tables combine solid frames, reliable surfaces, and safe restraint options to support precise clipping, scissoring, and drying.
What portable & static tables do
- Provide a steady, non-slip platform that helps pets stand securely for detailed finish work.
- Speed setup and teardown with straightforward designs—folding legs for travel or fixed bases for permanent stations.
- Improve handling safety using tie-down points and compatible grooming arms that keep positioning consistent.
With the right tabletop size and weight rating, these tables reduce handler strain, keep pets centered, and help deliver clean, repeatable results on every appointment.
Key features often found in portable & static tables
- Frames & bases – steel or aluminum constructions; folding-leg mechanisms for portability or rigid, welded bases for static use.
- Tabletops – textured, easy-clean mats with rounded corners and sealed edges to resist moisture and hair accumulation.
- Stability details – cross-braces, locking hinges, rubber feet, or leveling glides that minimize wobble on varied floors.
- Handling hardware – mast receivers, tie-down rings, and compatible grooming arms or overhead systems.
- Transport practicality (portable) – carry handles, compact fold, and balanced weight for vehicle loading.
How to use portable & static tables (equipment workflow)
- Place the table on a level surface; open and lock the legs (portable) or verify all feet contact the floor (static).
- Install the grooming arm and attach a properly fitted loop to the tie-down point; check that the surface is dry and grippy.
- Guide the pet onto the tabletop, center their weight, and adjust the loop so it is supportive but not restrictive.
- Work at a comfortable reach—rotate the pet as needed rather than overreaching; keep tools within arm’s length.
- After the groom, lower or remove the arm, unload safely, disinfect the mat, and inspect hinges, feet, and fasteners.
Consistent setup—same height, same arm position, same tool layout—keeps teams efficient and pets calm throughout the session.
How to choose the right portable & static table
- Capacity & dimensions – match working load and top size to your breed mix; allow room to turn large dogs safely.
- Stability & rigidity – prefer broad bases, quality hinges, and bracing that limit deflection during scissoring.
- Surface & hygiene – non-slip, sealed mats that clean quickly between grooms and resist chemical wear.
- Mobility vs permanence – folding designs for house-call or show use; fixed-height static tables for dedicated salon stations.
- Accessory fit – confirm mast diameter, arm style, and tie-down compatibility with your preferred restraints and tool caddies.
Important notes
- Never exceed the rated load; keep pets supervised at all times on raised surfaces.
- Replace worn mats, feet, and loops promptly to maintain traction and safety.
- Position power cords and dryers to avoid trip hazards; keep the tabletop dry during clipping and scissoring.
- Sanitize between appointments and document maintenance checks for hinges, bolts, and arm receivers.
Choose portable & static grooming tables that balance strength, traction, and everyday practicality. A well-specified table improves control, protects your team from strain, and supports consistent, professional finishes across every breed and coat type.
