TEST 8: SEMI AUTOMATED LIFECYCLE TEST (TIPPER TEST) <br />TEST DESCRIPTION: This test determines whether the cart's handles, wheels, and axles will withstand the <br />repeated pulling and inertia forces experienced during a normal 10-year useful life on a semi -automatic <br />hydraulic unloading device. <br />DATE OF TEST: September 8, 2016 <br />SUBJECT: Plastic Refuse Container <br />PRODUCT IDENTIFICATION: Rehrig 95 EG ROC <br />MINIMUM PERFORMANCE STANDARD: ANSI type "B" lifecycle test standard requires that after 520 cycles <br />of lifting and unloading with hydraulic machines suited to perform this cycle, the container itself must <br />remain functional. <br />Inspection was performed at 520 cycles. <br />There were some minimal wear scratches and denting, but there was no damage that would prevent <br />normal functionality of cart. <br />TEST PROCEDURE: <br />The cart is loaded with the standard load 332.5 Ibs (ANSI type "B" lifecycle test standard) with the <br />volume of material occupying at least 70% of the total capacity of the cart. Lid of cart is secured to <br />body of cart so that no load can escape during cycling. <br />Using the cart's UAE, the loaded cart is picked up by "tipper" device, then lifted, inverted and <br />"emptied", continuously cycle after cycle. <br />Test Parameters: <br />TEST RESULTS: <br />Temperature: 80 F <br />Cycle time: approximately 6 seconds <br />Equipment used: Rehrig Pacific hydraulic tipper machine <br />Strapping device for securement of lid to cart <br />Outcome: ROC still functioned as designed after 520 cycles <br />Normal wear and tear visible around grab bar <br />ROC passes 520 cycles of lifting and unloading. <br />SUMMARY: The cart passes the ANSI Type "B" Lifecycle test standard for minimum performance <br />(520 cycles of functionality) at the maximum rated load of 332.5 pounds. <br />Appendix 8: Test setup and "tipper" photos. <br />SETE 6E4 September 28, 2016 Page 9 of 16 <br />
