Foundation[edit]
Benjamin Franklin Gravely (29 November 1876 – January 1953) of Dunbar, West Virginia, manufactured in 1916 a hand-pushed plow fitted with an auxiliary Indian motorcycle engine and driven by belts.[2] His goal was to build a tractor which would revolutionize gardening and lawn maintenance for the homeowner.
F. W. Wilcox, a friend of Gravely, owned a machine shop in Middleport, Ohio. He allowed Gravely to build more tractors at his shop. It was there that Gravely designed the engine and built six or seven of the first tractors, which weighed about 190 pounds each. He also developed several new tools for the engine and drive train. His third generation grandson, Shawn Ryder, has his grandfather's Gravely tractor collection in Warrington, Pennsylvania.

Bolaget grundades 1944 och tillverkade enaxlade traktorer. 1966 presenterades den första Trans pro-modellen, ett litet midjestyrt fordon. 1984 köptes bolaget av Stiga och bytte namn till Stiga Belos AB.[1] 2011 såldes Belos till Kärcher och utvecklingsbolaget Kärcher Belos AB bildades. Tillverkning av redskapsbärare flyttades till Obersontheim i Tyskland.
