Atlantest <br />TESTING REPORT <br />DATE: May 12'h 2014 <br />SUBJECT: Waste carts <br />PRODUCT IDENTIFICATION: IPL 60204 <br />TEST: LOADING AND UNLOADING (CYCLE TEST) — FULLY AUTOMATED <br />(ANSI Z245.30 APPENDIX D) <br />TEST DESCRIPTION: The loading and unloading testis designed to approximate the useful life of a <br />cart (10 years) in the actual lifting that is performed when emptying the cart into a fully -automated truck. <br />This test is useful in assessing the overall design (such as the lid fit, handle material and hinge <br />mechanism, wheel assembly strength, etc.) and overall durability. <br />MINIMUM PERFORMANCE STANDARD: ANSI standard Z245.30 requires that after testing the cart <br />should not suffer any damage or permanent deformation such that it cannot be safely used in normal <br />operation. ANSI Z245.60 establishes dimensional requirements for the cart. <br />TEST PROCEDURE (Meets the requirements of ANSI Z245.30): <br />l . The test is conducted at room temperature. <br />2. A standard fully automated cart lifter is used. This lifter is compatible with all currently used <br />carts. The lifting mechanism is attached to the frame of a waste collection truck which allows the <br />cart to be emptied and then reloaded on each cycle. <br />3. The cycle time is greater than eight seconds, as required in the standard. <br />4. The cart is loaded with inert material at the standard load capacity as indicated in ANSI standard <br />according to the rated size of the container. The loading material is to occupy at least 70% of the <br />volume of the cart. <br />5. The cart is positioned in front of the lifting mechanism and is then lifted by the lifting mechanism <br />to empty the cart into a bin. The cart is set down onto a concrete surface and the cycle start over <br />again. <br />6. Inspections are made whenever any change is noticed and after every 100 lifts. <br />7. Failure is judged to be cracks, holes or other induced defects or deformations in the cart that <br />would prevent the can's use as a waste cart and be emptied by the automated method. <br />Note: Tested with Labrie Environment loading arm model #BCB01100-06 s/n #0909RH00022 1 <br />TEST RESULTS: <br />349 Ibs)) <br />Cycles Comments Performance (350 lbs load (rated at 3.5lbs/gal = <br />100 <br />No significant damage <br />200 <br />No damage <br />300 <br />No damage <br />400 <br />No damage <br />500 <br />No damage <br />520 <br />No significant damage cart operates acceptably <br />SUMMARY: No significant damage was seen and so the cart passed the ANSI Z,245.30 and Z245.60 <br />standards for minimum performance. <br />Benoit "i°ad 1,)ot 13 ing. <br />Atlantest <br />1580 Principal Avenue <br />St-Malachie, QC GOR 3N0 <br />
