u <br />TESTING REPORT <br />DATE: May 12" 2014 <br />SUBJECT: Waste carts <br />PRODUCT IDENTIFICATION: IPL 60204 <br />TEST: LOADING AND UNLOADING (CYCLE TEST) — SEMI -AUTOMATED <br />AMERICAN MODEL (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 semi -automated truck <br />(American model). This test is useful in assessing the overall design (such as the lid fit, handle material <br />and hinge mechanism, wheel assembly strength, eta) and overall durability. <br />MINIMUM PERFORMANCE STANDARD: ANSI standard Z245.30 requires that aftertesting 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 />I . The test is conducted at room temperature. <br />2. A standard semi -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 (lie 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 carts use as a waste cart and be emptied by the semi -automated method. <br />Note: Tested with a truck from the company RCI truck # 223 plated L516940 <br />TEST RESULTS: <br />349 Ibs)) <br />Q cgjtsL.� ._. 0111 gents on Perf rmtuice (350 lbs load (rated at 3.51bs/gal <br />100 No significant damage <br />200 No damage <br />300 No damage <br />400 No damage <br />500 No damage <br />520 No significant damage — cart operates acceptably <br />SUMMARY: No significant damage was seen and so the cart pas9ed the ANSI Z245.30 and Z245.60 <br />standards for minimum performance. <br />r�tt�t. l albot <br />Cl ing <br />Atlantest <br />1580 Principal Avenue <br />St-Malachle, QC GOR 3NO <br />
