About Traco Medical

Family-owned experience in refurbished medical equipment.

Founded in 1986 by Ken Smith, Traco Medical helps healthcare facilities source dependable refurbished hospital beds, stretchers, birthing beds, and replacement parts from Sioux Falls, South Dakota.

For nearly four decades, Traco has focused on a practical problem: keeping good medical equipment in service when parts, support, or replacement options are hard to find.

The American Story of Renewal

Traco Medical was born from a need for discontinued medical bed and stretcher parts. Founder Ken Smith was raised on a hog farm in rural southwestern Minnesota, a place where you learned to fix things yourself, solve problems directly, and stand behind your word.

In the mid-1980s, while working in Sioux Falls, Ken saw a growing problem inside hospitals and care facilities: dependable medical beds and stretchers were being sidelined simply because manufacturers no longer produced the parts needed to repair them.

Ken began refurbishing beds in his garage. What started as a local operation grew into a company built around solving the “parts gap” for older and discontinued hospital beds, stretchers, birthing beds, and related equipment.

Today, Traco Medical supports healthcare facilities across all 50 states and more than 15 countries while staying rooted in the same practical values it started with: real service, real relationships, and doing the job right.

The difference is simple: when a facility calls Traco, a real person helps solve the problem.
