This height affects the ease of operation of the cart. MINIMUM PERFORMANCE STANDARD: According to the ANSI standard Z245.30, when in the center -of - balance position, the minimum height is to be 29 inches. The maximum height is to be 40 inches when in the center -of -balance position. ANSI Z245.60 establishes dimensional requirements for the cart. TEST PROCEDURE (Meets the requirements of ANSI Z245.30): 1. The cart is loaded with a standard load (3.5 pounds per gallon of rated capacity with the load occupying at least 70% of the capacity) or with the maximum rated load. 2. The test to be conducted on a hard, flat surface. 3. Block the wheels so that the cart will not roll. 4. Tip the cart slowly, rotating the cart on the wheels, to the center balance position. This position is determined as the position where the cart has a tendency to remain in a balanced (neutral) position, not tipping forward or backward. 5. When in the center balance position, place blocks under the container to maintain in balanced position. 6. Measure the distance vertically from the ground plane to the center line of the handle of the cart. The accuracy of measurement is to be f0.25 inches. 7. Repeat steps 4, 5 and 6 and then average the results for the three determinations. TEST RESULTS: The results are: Average = 27.4 inches SUMMARY: The cart passed the ANSI Z245.30 and Z245,60 standards.. A.
