Kendon Industries, Inc. founder Ken Thurm is a mechanical engineer, veteran drag racer, die-hard hot rodder, inveterate tinkerer and certified visionary (he has 25 U.S. patents to prove it). The concept for trailers that fold-up and then Stand-Up for convenient storage came about as an elegant solution to a need for more garage space nearly two decades ago and has since expanded to encompass a full range of trailers and lifts for the motorcycle, ATV, hot rod and classic car lifestyles.
