Brooksville, Florida June 15, 2011
Richard Heene signed a deal with AME International, with estimated projected sales to be at least $65 million over the next five years, for his invention The HEENEDUTY™.
The HEENEDUTY™ Truck TransFormers™ is the very first pick-up truck robot, allowing pick-up truck owners to quickly load and unload heavy equipment in minutes. HEENEDUTY? - Truck TransFormers?
With a lifting capacity of up to 2,400 pounds, the HEENEDUTY™ main body can also be used as power scaffolding with three different level options. The pick-up truck robot has a sleek Rally Yellow paint job trimmed in gloss black which complemenst the shiny diamond plate aluminum, and is certain to be a winner to all pickup truck owners.
Heene says, "I designed the HEENEDUTY™ to be your best friend, and your best worker, saving you time, money, and your back."
The most awesome appeal of the HEENEDUTY™ Truck Transformers™ is that it allows truck owners to quickly free their beautiful pick-up trucks from awkward and ugly looking, cumbersome permanently mounted lumber racks and tool boxes.
Richard invisioned the HEENEDUTY™ Truck TransFormers™ to be "quick disconnect, and quick connect" calling it, "Zoomer Technology™", named after the family's fast running dog, "Zoomer".
One of the most amazing features about Truck TransFormers™ are the interchangeable Zoomer Panels™, which are used for the removable flooring, to the interlocking tool bed covers, to the extended side panels, to a third level platform on top of the foldable lumber/ladder rack where more objects can be carried.
Once removed, the 500 Lb capacity Zoomer Panels™ are quickly transformed into large dollies with attached caster wheels so materials can be quickly delivered. After using the handy dolly feature, the Zoomer Panels™ can be quickly transformed into a bench, or scaffolding, and with the adjustable legs they can also transform into a table by interlocking the panels together.
The HEENEDUTY™ is equipped with a foldable lumber/ladder rack that can be quickly extended or retracted within seconds. By folding the lumber/ladder rack up the HEENEDUTY™ Truck Transformers™ can be maneuvered and stored in tight place.
