First I came up with the idea. I have my original drawing. The hook looks the same because everybody copied me and my dad. It took me about 20 seconds to figure it out, In fact. The really good things I created came from 20 seconds worth of deep thought hahaheheheeh

Then came a Lego model below but mine didn't work as nice as this one below. Someone else made this Lego version after they were on the market for about 10 years. It shows, sort of, how it works but takes too long for the load and unload process.

Here is how it works. It is quite a simple concept really.

It only took me 20 secnds to come up with the idea, 15 minutes to figure out if it will work (in theory), then my dad designed it and it we had a working portotype within 3 months. Which is pretty fast from start to finish. I was fortunate in my lifr because when I came up with an idea, it could be built. There was a engineer there who designed it properly and a factory ands sales staff that could sell it. But the hook[lift would never fly in Canada. But I have the best demo for the product because no other company created one and it was frustrating for me to see such poor illustrations on such a simple concept to work.

This is my hook lift demo

In Canada it never took off and now I find myself moving to Europe and my dad at 90 is still alive.

Canadians that they have not adopted this superior way of lifting and transporting things. I tried contacting companies who were producing the larger models to see if they wanted to produce a smaller one for me to sell but no one in CANADA or IN THE U.S. WAS INTERESTED.

Now I found a company who is producing it in in italy UNI-lift who wants a sales guy in Hungary and I want to sell the smaller ones there.

You can buy it from PalMac Truck bodies who sell Uni-lifts in Canada and we will send each other some business. Toney Palmac is the owner in Canada 416 757-8901

I came up with the idea which is now called the HOOK AND GO MY DAD DESIGNED IT AND ADDED SOME COOL FEATURES

he figured out a few things like the garbage bin lifter. I was Jealous that I didn't come up with that one

THE DUMP TRUCK IDEA I NEVER SAW either, BUT IT IS COOL THAT IT CAN ALSO BE A DUMP TRUCK.

ANYWAY MY DAD AND I HAVE BEEN THINKING THAT WE SHOULD BUILD A SMALLER VERSION OF THIS FOR SMALL TRUCKS IN EUROPE

MY DAD MADE A FEW DRAWINGS TO SHOW THE VERSATILITY OF THIS NEW INVENTION BUT BY THAT TIME, I THINK THE RETARDED Alms BROTHERS TOOK OVER THE COMPANY HIRED 30 MORE ENGINEERS AND WERE GOING AFTER THE CANADIAN MILITARY PROJECT (YES THE CANADIAN MILITARY DOES NOT HAVE MUCH BUT THEY HAVE A GREAT TOW TRUCK NOW AND TWO LEAKY SUBMARINES HAHAHEHEHEHEH I REMEMBER WHEN I WENT TO VISIT MY DAD AT WORK AND BY THIS TIME VULCAN HAD PUSHED THE R AND D (RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT) DEPARTMENT INTO A CORNER AND THAT BIG DEPARTMENT MY DAD HAN BUILD WAS OVER. I REMEMBER GOING BACK TO THE BUILDINGS THAT VULCAN HAD TAKEN OVER ACROSS THE STREET BECAUSE THERE WAS NO MORE ROOM IN THE FACTORY AND THEY HAD THE UGLIEST TOW TRUCK IN THE WORLD IN THERE. THOSE NEW IDIOT ENGINEERS, WHO DIDN'T EVEN KNOW WHO MY DAD WAS, :TOTAL RETARDS" PUT A CRANE ON IT TOO. I HAVE A PICTURE OF IT. because TO STUPID Canadian government WANTED IT TO DO MORE THAN BE BULLET PROOF. WOW WAS A FRENZY IT WAS BUT IN THE END VULCAN LOST THEIR SHIRT BECAUSE THEY DIVERTED TOO MANY RESOURCES TO THE GOVERNMENT CONTRACT AND THEY LOST ALL THERE KEY PEOPLE AND PROMOTED THE WRONG ONES. I HAVE LOTS OF GOOD MEMORIES FROM THAT PLACE TOO AND I WILL KEEP THEM IN MY HEART.

It was my idea to make mobile office and mobile hospitals which can be dropped almost everywhere but then Vulcan sold it really fast because they needed the money to go after the military contract for Canada for the tow trucks. That is the last thing I helped design there. But I already have a series of new things, I could create for this machine and many other new ones too.

Even the hook hasn't changed much over 20 years. If I got along with my dad, we would own Canada. When we could work together it was amazing. But most of the time it didn't work.

It drives engineers crazy when a kid comes along who has little or no enineering experience and can come up with ideas like this and then build a working prototype out of wood or card board. Many times my father would ask me. "How do you know where the support goes?" I would tell him, "I just know." This is not the answer an engineer wants to hear.

You can't turn off the ingenuity as I have already improved the original hook. (below)

I called tow times and told them a have a new design for the hook but no one ever called me back

I guess, I will leave the world to fumble around and eventually find the answers. It is just so sad to see that none, or almost no one cannot think for themselves. I went to the gardening show in Toronto and saw my variation of the hook lift there and there but they are all still the same Hmmmmmm

My father went through great lengths and arguments with people within Vulcan to keep the design and clean looking as possible. I saw all the memos in fact I still have many of them in a box and eventually my dad won only because it make the whole overall design clean looking. Now I look at them and they stuck the controls on them where they feel like it and many of these seemly improved models look like...well...I won't say but I know you are thinking it. That fact that Even Vulcan (the Alm brothers) tried to screw my dad when they closed up shot and ran away to their U.S. plant and my dad didn't even get his severance pay. Don't worry I fixed that. and made them pay but they were using my and my dads designs and were making money on them and didn't want to pay the inventor? Well I am sorry but you cannot have the cake and eat it too. Well at least our names are on the original patients.

THE 618 WAS THE LAST THING THAT COME OFF THE ASSEMBLY LINE BEFORE IT WAS SOLD THIS WAS THE BEGINNING OF A BEAUTIFUL THING AND IT CHANGED THE WAY WE TRANSPORT THINGS AND HAS CHANGED THE WORLD FOREVER.
