TESTING RE PORT <br />DATE: 1 November 2007 <br />SUBJECT: Trash carts <br />PRODUCT IDENTIFICATION: Rehrig ROC65 Nestable Bar Universal Cart <br />TEST: SLOPE STABILITY <br />TEST DESCRIPTION: This test checks the static stability of an empty and loaded cart on a defined slope <br />(5 degrees). <br />hfiNIMUM PERFORMANCE STANDARD: ANSI Z245.30-1999 requires that the cart must stand, <br />without tipping or moving, in three different orientations on a defined slope. ANSI Z245.60-1999 <br />establishes dimensional requirements for the can. <br />TEST PROCEDURE (Meets the requirements of ANSI Z245.30-1999): <br />1. Prepare a ramp with a slope of 5 degrees. The ramp must be of sufficient size that a cart can be <br />moved onto the cart with no portion of the cart overhanging the edges of the ramp. <br />2. There is to be no wind. <br />3. Move an empty cart onto the ramp and orient the cart with the front of the cart facing up the <br />ramp. Note any tipping or movement. Turn the cart so that the front of the cart is facing <br />sideways on the ramp. Note any tipping or movement, Turn the cart so that the front of the cart <br />is facing down the ramp. Note any tipping or movement. <br />4. Repeat step two with the cart loaded to the standard loading as specified in the ANSI standard <br />(3.5 pounds per gallon of rated capacity). The loading material is to occupy at least 70% of the <br />capacity of the cart. <br />TEST RESULTS: <br />Empty <br />Qdqa4fign Result <br />Front facing sideways (right) Stable <br />Front facing sideways (left) Stable <br />Front facing downward Stable <br />Filled (loaded — 227.5 lbs) <br />Front facing sideways (right) Stable <br />Front facing sideways (left) Stable <br />Front facing downward Stable <br />SUMMARY: The cart passed the ANSI Z245.30-1999 and Z245.60-1999 standards since non -movement <br />in three orientations is met.. <br />'Ur n( Strong - . <br />Professor, Manufacturing Engineering Tech. <br />Brigham Young University <br />265 CTB, Provo, UT 84602 <br />
