ANSI 2245.60-2008 establishes dimensional requirements for the cart. <br />TEST PROCEDURE (Meets the requirements of ANSI 2245.30-2008): <br />1. The cart is loaded with a standard load (according to the ANSI standard) with the volume <br />of material occupying at least 70% of the total capacity of the cart. (The actual weight was <br />350 pounds.) <br />2. Using the cart's handles, the loaded cart is pushed off a curb. The curb height was 5.5 <br />inches. The cart is then repositioned at the top of the curb. The test is repeated for 520 <br />cycles (drops). <br />3. Using the cart's handles, an unloaded (empty) cart is pulled up a curb. The curb height was <br />5.5 inches. The cart is repositioned at the bottom of the curb. The test is repeated 520 <br />cycles (lifts). <br />4. The carts are set down onto aconcrete surface. <br />5. The temperature to be normal room temperature (73 degrees F). <br />TEST RESULTS <br />11, st Condition. <br />Push off of full cart <br />Pull up of empty cart <br />Result <br />No significant damage <br />No significant damage <br />SUMMARY: The cart passed the ANSI 2245.30-2008 and 2245.60-2008 standards for minimum <br />performance.
