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.
Mel says, "We 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."
