PRODTJCT SPECIFICATION CONTAINER BODY: The Otto MSD-45E Container Body is injection -molded from High Density Polyethylene (HDPE). The container body has smooth surfaces both on the interior and exterior. The interior is free of crevices and recesses where refuse could become trapped, in order to allow complete emptying. The average wall thickness is 0.15" on the container sidewalls and 0.15" on the bottom section. The high -density polyethylene has a density of 0.945 to 0.954 grams cm3. The Melt Index (MI) of the HDPE is 3.5 to 6.0. The top of the container body is reinforced with a rim around its entire perimeter. This feature adds structure and stability to the Otto MSD-45E container and provides a flat surface for the lid to close on. The top of the rim has a rain lip to prevent water from entering the container with the lid closed. The handles are integrally molded into the container body at the top rim. The underside of the rim is reinforced with a total of twenty-eight (28) integrally molded -in gussets/ribs spaced around the entire circumference of the container. The front of the container has a molded recess that provides for the front "catch," or lower lift, bar. The Otto MSD-45E container is offered with either an integrally molded plastic front catch bar or a 1" rotating steel catch bar. Both the steel bar and plastic bar versions are nestable with this feature fully installed/integrated. The plastic lower catch bar is integrally molded into the container base in the front recess. Plastic bar containers have no openings into the container bodies. The clip -style metal catch bar is freely rotating, 1" OD (outside diameter) roll -formed steel with formed ends for added strength. The wall thickness of this bar is .050", hot rolled steel with an iron zinc clear chromate top coat shielding for corrosion protection. The clip -style metal catch bar allows for speedy installation of the bar from the outside of the container without requiring the use of any hand tools. Metal spring clips are compressed during installation and spring back once inside the container for a solid stop once installed. The bottom of the container has molded -in wear ridges that extend around its perimeter. The wear ridges provide additional protection against abrasive wear if the container is slid on asphalt or pavement and improve impact resistance of the bottom of the container. There is a recessed area molded above the middle of the axle which allows a person's foot to be placed directly upon the axle to allow the container to be easily tilted, even with a full load. The inside bottom of the container has a cylindrical -shaped energy absorbing detail, approximately 4.5" in diameter, integrally molded into its floor. This detail has been engineered to protect the floor of an empty container from impact when being loaded with heavy objects. The Otto MSD-45E rollout container has an integrally molded front "pouch" to facilitate semi -automated lifting. The front wall of the pouch has eleven (11) corrugations in order RLV 0 61 Y 11AG E 2 of 6 C0 0'IT0 ENVIRONMENTAL S] ti FADS NORM I AMERIC1, INC,
