The History Of KMV Equipment Company
KMV was started in 1970 in the garage of James Bedair, a body man in
Irving Texas, as a side business to buy and sell vehicles.
By 1975 James had quit working as a body man and started selling Frame
Straightening Equipment. During the next 6 years it became
clear the automotive industry was changing, automobiles took on a more
Unibody construction. Another problem that was becoming
increasingly clear was that the body technicians were having a problem
holding these new vehicles on the floor while repairing the
damaged area. Body shop owners needed a way for their technicians
to repair the vehicle on the floor with their existing floor
equipment because the cost of a Drive-On and the expense of tying up a
stall when a Drive-On is not in use were not cost effective.
So in 1981 KMV revolutionized the industry with the invention of the
Chainless Anchoring System. A revolutionary new way of
anchoring vehicles to the floor without using chains. Within a
year KMV had came out with a 10 ton Pull Post. Today KMV is still
producing a complete line of Pulling and Holding equipment. Our
latest Inventions to help revolutionize the industry is the
KMV Floor Rack which gives a technician Drive-On capability without
tying up a stall , and our newest product the KMV
Frame Vise anchors Full Frame vehicles in a snap. James Bedair
having been a body man for 30 years and having a son who
was a body man for 27 years gives KMV a unique perspective when
designing and inventing new equipment. Also by having the
advantage of being body techs our selves we know what it takes to
properly repair the vehicle without all the added extra
expense , and saving you money is one of our main goals. We at KMV
will always try to keep the price you pay as low as possible
by selling you only what you need. So the next time you need to
purchase Pulling or Holding equipment come to KMV and see how
easy purchasing equipment can be.
