Toter's patented Rugged Rim® provides extra rigidity to body walls and a tight lid fit. Consisting of a closed tubular design, similar to square steel tubing, for maximum strength during collection, the rim creates a ledge on which the lid rests to create a tight seal between body and lid. The cart bottom features wear strips for maximum abrasion protection against dragging on sidewalks, gravel and pavement. CART HANDLE Handles of Toter carts are integrally molded onto the cart body, allowing safe movement even in the absence of the lid. All Toter carts have 1" diameter hand hold areas equally spaced for positive and balanced control while pushing and pulling the fully loaded container, and to accommodate large hands that might be heavily gloved in cold weather. UPPER AND LOWER LIFT POINTS Toter carts are ANSI compatible Type "G" Grabber Lifters (fully automated arms). The combination of our maximum surface contact with the automated arm gripping surface and our textured, non -slip exterior finish prevents slippage of Toter Carts in fully automated collection. The integrally molded upper pick-up point, or "saddle" and the lower lift bar meet ANSI compatibility standards for Type "B" Lifters (semi -automated lifter/dumper units). The lower lift/stop bar on EVR II carts is designed without rivets that can be damaged by lifters, and the bar is manufactured of exceptionally strong steel. This lower bar rotates 360 degrees to be "self - aligning" when the lifter's lock hook extends to catch the bar. AXLE The standard axle in U.S. carts has been 5/8" diameter solid steel for over 30 years. The axle slides through two molded plastic journals in the cart bottom. No bolts or rivets are used for axle mounting. The ultimate yield strength of a Toter 5/8" axle is 2,000+ pounds. SNAP ON WHEELS Toter's standard wheels are 10" x 1.75" (nominal) for 96-gallon and 48-gallon carts. All wheels feature knobby treads and are made from extra high molecular weight polyethylene. Wheels are retained by means of a center aligned axle journal claw which snaps into a groove that is a full weight bearing surface. Wheels have a built-in spacer. (Requires MP Axle). The wheels have been thoroughly tested to exceed all ANSI safety standards and are rated at 200 pounds per wheel for 10" wheels, and meet the ANSI test, Appendix F, "Force to Tilt." This test measures "the force needed to tip a standard loaded cart from the vertical position to the balance point." Carts that are more difficult to tip create more complaints to the City, a greater risk of injury to users, and more requests for exemption from rolling out the cart to the curb. CART COLORS Toter offers ultraviolet non -fading cart colors. We can customize our carts to manufacture receptacle lids and/or bodies using the following standard colors Green (#940), Blue (705), Brown (270), Gray (125) or Black (200). Special Granite colors for body (solid standard color lid) are also available for an additional charge — Sandstone (#249), Brownstone (#279), Graystone (#129), Dark Gray Granite (#149), Bluestone (#709), Navy Granite (#769), Greenstone (#968), Toter Green Granite (#929) and Blackstone (#209). LOW PROFILE DESIGN Toter's EVR II Universal/Nestable and EVRII Universal Carts feature a "low profile" shape, designed that way in response to our listening to customer needs. The lower profile does create a larger footprint for greater stability on slopes, easier to tilt and roll for the end user, and stability in winds. Carts that are more difficult to tip create resident complaints, a greater risk of injury to users, and more requests for exemption from rolling out the cart.
