ANSI Z245.60-2008 establishes dimensional requirements <br />for the cart. <br />TEST PROCEDURE (Meets the requirements of ANSI Z245.30-2008): <br />1. The cart is loaded with a standard load (according to the ANSI standard) with the volume of <br />material occupying at least 70% of the total capacity of the can. (The actual weight was 158 <br />pounds.) <br />2. Using the cart's handles, the loaded cart is pushed off a curb. The curb height was 5.5 <br />inches. The can 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 was <br />5.5 inches. The cart is repositioned at the bottom of the curb. The test is repeated 520 cycles <br />(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 />Test Condition <br />Push off of full cart <br />Pull up of empty cart <br />Result <br />No significant damage. <br />No significant damage <br />SUMMARY: The cart passed the ANSI Z245.30-2008 and Z245.60-2008 standards for minimum <br />performance. <br />S. �p•�`t�N ICAigO'�.,,, <br />`�� � �FESS/p •��iL �: <br />la e A. field, <br />�. <br />bab Structural Engineering — $E'AL <br />Services, PLLC 035798 <br />A.
