TESTING REPORT <br />DATE: 1 November 2007 <br />SUBJECT: Trash carts <br />PRODUCT IDENTIFICATION: Rehrig ROC65 Nestable Bar Universal Cart <br />TEST: DURABILITY DURING PULLING (CURB TEST) <br />TEST DESCRIPTION: This test determines whether the cart's handles, wheels, and axles will <br />withstand the repeated pulling forces experienced during normal 10-year useful life. <br />MINIMUM PERFORMANCE STANDARD: The ANSI standard Z245.30-1999 requires that <br />after testing the handles, wheels, axles, their attachments to the container, and the container itself <br />must remain functional. ANSI Z245.60-1999 establishes dimensional requirements for the cart. <br />TEST PROCEDURE (Meets the requirements of ANSI Z245.30-1999): <br />1. The cart is loaded with a standard load (according to the ANSI standard) with the volume <br />of material occupying at least 70% of the total capacity of the cart. <br />2. Using the cart's handles, the loaded cart is pulled off a curb. The curb height to be 5.5 <br />inches. The cart is then repositioned at the top of the curb. The test is repeated for 520 <br />cycles (drops). <br />3. Using the cart's handles, an unloaded (empty) cart is pulled up a curb. The curb height to <br />be 5.5 inches. The cart is repositioned at the bottom of the curb. The test is repeated 520 <br />cycles (lifts). <br />4. The carts are set down onto a concrete surface. <br />5. The temperature to be normal room temperature (73 degrees F). <br />TEST RESULTS: <br />'rest Condition Result <br />Push off of full cart No significant damage <br />Pull up of empty cart No significant damage <br />SUMMARY: The cart passed the ANSI Z245.30-1999 and Z245.60-1999 standards for <br />minimum performance. <br />L, � <br />A.
