This height affects the ease of operation of the cart. <br />MINIMUM PERFORMANCE STANDARD: According to the ANSI standard Z245.30, when in the center -of - <br />balance position, the minimum height is to be 29 inches. The maximum height is to be 40 inches when in the <br />center -of -balance position. ANSI Z245.60 establishes dimensional requirements for the cart. <br />TEST PROCEDURE (Meets the requirements of ANSI Z245.30): <br />l . The cart is loaded with a standard load (3.5 pounds per gallon of rated capacity with the load <br />occupying at least 70% of the capacity) or with the maximum rated load. <br />2. The test to be conducted on a hard, flat surface. <br />3. Block the wheels so that the cart will not roll. <br />4. Tip the cart slowly, rotating the cart on the wheels, to the center balance position. This position is <br />determined as the position where the cart has atendency to remain in a balanced (neutral) position, <br />not tipping forward or backward. <br />5. When in the center balance position, place blocks under the container to maintain in balanced <br />position. <br />6. Measure the distance vertically from the ground plane to the center line of the handle of the cart. The <br />accuracy of measurement is to be t0.25 inches. <br />7. Repeat steps 4, 5 and 6 and then average the results for the three detenninations. <br />TEST RESULTS: <br />The results are: Average = 34.0 inches <br />SUMMARY: The cart passed the ANSI Z245.30 and Z245.60 standards. <br />�CA +i►��r�� <br />Wi <br />y' r`� Q�' FES81p • ��i <br />Z.�a�o ��c y <br />..
