Heavy-Duty Solutions for Demanding Environments
Tool storage lives in demanding environments. Drawers and access systems must support substantial loads, frequent use, and smooth operation while helping users keep tools secure, organized, and accessible.
KV works with tool-storage and industrial-equipment manufacturers to develop slide solutions around load capacity, locking, extension, drawer dimensions, mounting configuration, mobility, and durability requirements.
ENGINEERED FOR THE APPLICATION
Built Around Demanding Applications
Engineer load, locking, extension, mobility, and durability around how the storage system will actually be used.
Locking & Positioning
Lock-in, lock-out, and other positioning requirements can be evaluated.
Mobile Applications
Motion systems can be selected around vehicular and mobile-equipment requirements.
Durability
Solutions can be designed for applications where components experience frequent, demanding use.
Wide & Long Storage
Slide length, drawer width, and structural requirements can be considered together.
User Access
Smooth motion and intuitive operation help keep tools readily accessible.
FROM CONCEPT TO PRODUCTION
Engineering Support Throughout the Product Lifecycle
OEM projects rarely begin with an off-the-shelf answer. KV engineers work alongside product-development teams from application review and concept development through prototyping, testing, production, and lifecycle support. Existing platforms can be adapted when they fit the requirement, and application-specific solutions can be developed when they do not.
Concept Development
We begin by reviewing the application, performance goals, space constraints, and use requirements to define the right path forward.
Application Engineering
Our team evaluates load, travel, motion requirements, mounting, materials, and other design criteria to align the solution to the application.
Prototyping & Testing
Concepts can be refined through prototyping and testing to confirm function, fit, durability, and overall performance before production.
Production Support
Once the solution is finalized, KV supports the transition into production with an emphasis on manufacturability, consistency, and supply continuity.
Lifecycle Support
We continue supporting the program throughout its lifecycle, helping address future refinements, ongoing supply needs, and long-term performance.
