Owen Kent's New Location
June 1st, 2007 marked our first year of our new ownership under the name of Owen Equipment Company. This wasn't just a change of ownership, it has been a change of attitude! Milestones include:
  • hosted "Demo-Days" in September of 2006 where hundreds of attendees had hands-on access to a multitude of products and training in sewer cleaning and street sweeping equipment and accessories (see unedited photos of events in Pasco, Kent and Portland)
  • increased our in-stock parts to over $500,000.00 of inventory
  • We've moved our Kent location to a more fully-functional customer service location
  • significantly increased our attendance at industry trade-shows - supporting many industry associations
  • built a rental inventory of Elgin & Vactor products to over 1.5 million with straight rental terms or rent-to-own. Now customers have a choice of renting NEW late model equipment, not someone else's trade machine!
  • we have Demo fleet in stock and ready to show you how the newest product lines will work on your site. To schedule a free on site demo just call either our Kent or Portland office.
  • We have hired a full staff of mechanics and provided them with Factory training to ensure that your machines is serviced according to factory specs and on time.
  • We have expanded our product lines to better service you. New products include Holder tractors and Triple-L trailers, and we've extended our involvement with PowerBoss, Green Machine and US Jetting. We will continue to add products that fit with our customer base, but we will only represent the best you can buy.

We weren't kidding when we said the difference would be "black and white."
Owen Equipment Company (formerly Ben-Ko-Matic) changed ownership in June 2006 - at that time we told you the difference would be "Black and White." Earl wasn't kidding - one of the major changes intended was to significantly increase our stock of demo units - and we have!  Our latest arrivals are the Vactor 2110 and the Green Machine 636HS:
 
Our New Vactor - All in BLACKVactor 2110 - we call it "Black Beauty" - Even the folks at Vactor are impressed with its appearance. This is the pride of our demo fleet, completely equipped to show you how Vactor can perform for your particular application(s). Give us a call to arrange a free on-site demonstration!
 
Our BLACK Green MachineApplied "Green" Machine - The 636HS is an evolution of the highly-successful 525HS. It was designed for customers who wanted bigger payload and more suction power for picking up heavier debris.

With a wheelbase nearly four feet shorter than its full-size HXX cousin, the maneuverable HXX Prodigy is made to take on tough jobs while navigating narrow streets, around parked cars and through obstacle-laden construction sites. The unit also is significantly lighter (39,000 pounds GVW versus 66,000 pounds for the HXX).
