Inventor, Mel Lulay, has this to say about how the Simply Dump It came to be; "One day, while pouring concrete, I had a full load in the wheelbarrow. As I went to dump the load into the forms I lost control while changing handgrip positions and spilled the load on the ground instead of into the forms where it should have been. The whole load was wasted. That evening I was thinking that there must be a way to prevent a load from shifting and getting away from me. After a couple hours of sleep, I woke and began fashioning a cardboard model of the Simply Dump It. By 3 AM my idea was in hand."
The next morning Mel and Suzanne went to a metal fabrication shop and had a prototype made from the cardboard model. They brought them home and put them on to one of the wheelbarrows and began using them. They worked perfectly.
After much research and advise from fellow business people, about products they had developed, Mel and Suzanne took the plunge and began contacting the right people to design and manufacture the Simply Dump It. Their journey took them out of the state of Oregon and back again.
As of today, the story is still unfolding. But, as Mel says, "We do know that every person we have demonstrated them to and let use them; each wanted to know where they could buy a pair. The enthusiasm those people have for the Simply Dump It keeps fanning our flame of excitement."
Thus, the story continues . . .
