NEAR-DEATH EXPERIENCE IS THE MOUNTAINOUS OF INVENTION FOR TWO DALLAS ELECTRICIANS

To morning commuters, the hulking truck encircled with barricades and traffic cones may be nothing further than a road-clogging nuisance.

For Kerem Tepecik and vale Vith, two men who've made a good living by changing light bulbs forty feet above the pavement, the so-called bucket truck is more ominous.

Every time I go up, I wonder if this is the day I'll die, says Tepecik, a married father of two. We label it the prayer bucket.

Naturally, spending hours swaying dominion the Texas wind while dismantling high voltage light fixtures as angry drivers on the street below zoom past, the two electricians bilateral a single thought. There's got to be the better way.

After a integrate of near-death experiences, locale a ferry nearly fell on me or on him, says Vith, the pair began to identify the truth of Edison's dictum, Invention is one percent inspiration further 99% perspiration.

Taking the cue from High masts (200 foot light poles practiced on freeway cloverleaf overpasses) hush up their built-in obscure systems, Vith again Tepecik spent nights and weekends designing and building prototypes of their Retropole, a patented crank-and-rail attachment which safely disconnects and lowers the gleaming for servicing.

The outline is now in church parking lots, fast-food drive-thrus, besides at the headquarters of a nationally-famous home restaurant chain, whose authority is in the enterprise of rolling out Retropole in locations nationwide.

Following a soft launch in May June '05, the new company's small staff has been piqued by the reaction upon the part of clientele of every size.

With retail prices under $1000, the systems guerdon for themselves the third time a light bulb is altered. Easy DIY maintenance and low cost of operation (bucket trucks charge $200-$300 for junior service calls, whereas the bulbs are sold for $20 at home improvement stores) appeal to maintenance staff.

Perhaps additional significant, though, is the invention's assured impact on property value.

For every dollar the property's annual sustenance cost drops, ten dollars is added to the property's value explains Tepecik.

The implications of this swallow occasion two major Texas-based manufacturers to gear evolving for enormous production runs.

Kerem besides Dale are two good guys who worked hard to bring a terrific idea to life. How often does an presumption arrive along that helps with so varied issues-safety, environment, and so on, that also helps large businesses save a fortune? says Sherman Allen, marketing director of the Dallas based Retropole, llc.

He records that bucket trucks are leaky behemoths which cause cement also landscaping damage, and, in terms of fuel, the 13-ton monsters make Hummers look like econo-boxes.

In an ironic twist, its success of Retropole commit sustenance Vith and Tepecik in the prayer bucket, since the one-hour rudiment of its mechanism requires one final ascent for removal of the vivid fixture.

Tepecik says he's considering a end on the truck that says I'm never coming here again. retropole| siteretropole
