Atlantest <br />TESTING REPORT <br />DATE: May 12`h 2014 <br />SUBJECT: Waste carts <br />PRODUCT IDENTIFICATION: IPL 60204 <br />TEST: FORCE TO TIP (ANSI Z245.30 APPENDIX F) <br />TEST DESCRIPTION: To measure the strength required to start container movement to the <br />balance point and to ensure that the force is not greater than an established limit. This force <br />relates to the ease of operation of the cart. <br />MINIMUM PERFORMANCE STANDARD: According to ANSI Z245.30, the force must not <br />exceed 120 pounds force. ANSI Z-245.60 establishes dimensional requirements for the cart. <br />TEST PROCEDURE (Meets the requirements of ANSI Z245.30): <br />1. The cart is to be loaded with a standard load. The load to occupy at least 70% of the <br />capacity of the cart. <br />2. The ground to be level and with a smooth horizontal surface having less than a 1 ° slope. <br />3. The cart is to be blocked to prevent movement of the wheels. <br />4. A spring scale device is attached to the handle of the cart. (The force -measuring device <br />to have an accuracy better than f3%.) The cartis then tipped by pulling on the force - <br />measuring device, until the cart is in the balanced position. The angle of pull, that is, the <br />tipping force direction, is to be horizontal with less than 12° to all sides. (The position <br />where the cart does not tend to move either forward or backward but remains in a <br />balanced position.) The maximum force during the pull is noted. <br />5. Repeat step 4 so that three determinations are made. 'These results are averaged. <br />6. The test is to be conducted at room temperature. <br />TEST RESULTS: <br />The tipping forces were as follows: Average = 78 pounds. <br />SUMMARY: The carts passed the ANSI Z245.30 and Z245.60 standards at or above the <br />minimum requirements. <br />Benoit I'albotmB Inge....N......_........... ,ry <br />Atlantest <br />1580 Principal Avenue <br />St- alachle, QC GOR 3N <br />
