TEST 3: CENTER OF BALANCE POSITION <br />TEST DESCRIPTION: To determine the height of the handle of a two -wheeled ROC at the center -of - <br />balance position. This height affects the ease of operation of the cart. <br />DATE: September 7, 2015 <br />SUBJECT: Plastic Refuse Container <br />PRODUCT IDENTIFICATION: Rehrig 95 EG ROC <br />MINIMUM PERFORMANCE STANDARD: According to the ANSI standard Z245.30 (paragraph 7.2.4.2.6 and <br />Appendix F) when in the center -of -balance position, the height is to be between 29 and 40 inches. <br />TEST PROCEDURE: <br />1. The ROC is loaded with the standard load of 332.5 Ibs (ANSI standard, paragraph 7.2.4.2.2). <br />2. The test to be conducted on a hard, flat surface. <br />3. Block the wheels so that the cart will not roll. <br />4. Tip the cart slowly, rotating the cart on the wheels, to the center balance position. This position is <br />determined as the position where the cart has a tendency to remain in a balanced (neutral) <br />position, not tipping forward or backward. <br />5. When in the center balance position, place blocks under the container to maintain in balanced <br />position. <br />6. Measure the distance vertically from the ground plane to the center line of the handle of the ROC. <br />The accuracy of measurement is to be ±0.25 inches. <br />7. Repeat steps 4, 5 and 6 and then average the results for the three determinations. <br />TEST RESULTS: <br />Average height = 29.83 inches (with 332.5 pounds load) <br />Test 1 = 30.25" <br />Test 2 = 29.75" <br />Test 3 = 29.50" <br />SUMMARY: The ROC passed the ANSI Z245.30 standard. <br />Appendix 3: Test setup photos. <br />SETE 6E4 September 28, 2016 Page 4 of 16 <br />
