In awarding contracts for the purchase of work, labor, services, supplies, equipment,

this project will use steel products or foundry products made in the United States on this
project if awarded. I understand I have an affirmative duty to notify the City in my bid
that my proposal does not include the use of steel products or foundry products made in
the United States. I understand it is my sole obligation and responsibility to provide a
justification to the City, subject to review and approval, why the cost of United States
made steel or foundry products is unreasonable. Prior to award and upon submission of
bid which does not use steel products or foundry products made in the United States, the
City, through its director of public works, shall make a determination if the price of
United States made steel or foundry is unreasonable. I understand that violations
hereunder may result in forfeiture of contractual payments.

Container Management
A division of OESNA, OCM Solutions, LLC (OCMS) is a logistics company that focuses on container
management — assembly, distribution and recovery (A&D); container evaluations and maintenance;
inventory management; and container re -branding.
Originating in Europe, OCMS and its predecessor, Otto Container Management, LLC (OCM), has 40 years
of experience in cart maintenance and repair programs with service contracts throughout France, Italy,
Britain, Germany, Spain, Mexico, and Brazil. OCMS has taken the best practices from these locations to
bring the greatest value to its customers in the United States.
OCM began U.S. operations in 2000 and merged into OCMS in 2018. OCMS is headquartered alongside
its product manufacturing division in Charlotte, North Carolina. OCMS currently employs 50 full-time
team members and has a fleet of 40 service box trucks identifiable with professionally applied graphics
and 17 trucks with trailers. The fleet operates under D.O.T. standards, and all trucks are equipped with
GPS systems linked to route planning software that provides accurate service verification.
OCMS has a growing fleet of locations across the United States, collectively handling about 2.1 million
carts. Between 2014-2016, OCIVIS completed over 1.3 million cart actions (approximately 44,000 actions
per month) and distributed more than 1.4 million containers to end -user locations via A&D (assembly
and distribution) projects.
Heightened environmental awareness has led to goals such as becoming 95% emissions free or better by
2018. To accomplish this, OCMS is proud to purchase only zero -emission diesel or CNG trucks for
existing and future projects. The fleet currently includes 57 vehicles, 1 of which is a zero -emission
vehicle.
Otto: Serving the Retail Sector
Finding a niche in the consumer waste market, Otto's retail division provides containers to high -volume
retailers for business -to -consumer sales. Otto Retail got its start in 2013, quickly gaining traction by
landing big accounts such as Walmart and The Home Depot. Otto Retail continues to expand its
offerings to suit the needs of consumers.

Expert Engineering
Otto strives to provide a breadth of products and services for its customers. Our engineering and
product design team has the expertise to provide the best cost-effective solution to meet your needs for
quality, durability and longevity. Otto uses a plastic injection molding process using high density
polyethylene (HDPE) to produce many of its products, including two -wheel carts, dumpsters, and
contracted and custom molded parts. Injection molding provides consistency and durability with design
features that are built into the mold to strengthen areas that face unique stress points. Otto containers
are engineered with the appropriate balance of stiffness and flexibility to provide flex and conformity for
an automated grabber, resulting in fewer stress points. Special features of our two -wheel carts feature a
molded -in wear ridge at the bottom of the cart to prolong the container lifespan and patented dimples
at four sides to assist with gripping power.
Quality Management
Otto Environmental Systems North America, Inc. is ISO 9001:2015, and IATF 16969:2016. Otto is
regularly audited to maintain these certifications. Every order is inspected to meet specified project
requirements. Otto carts are manufactured using high density polyethylene (HDPE). Otto only uses HDPE
grades that have longer molecular chains to decrease the melt index and give the material "melt
strength." The higher molecular weight also gives the material increased environmental stress crack
resistance (ESCR), impact strength, and cold -temperature toughness over a material with a similar
density but shorter molecular chains. Each lot of resin is put through extensive testing to verify the melt
flow index and check for moisture and contamination to ensure the resin meets Otto's established
standards.
Advantages of the Otto Injection Molded Container
Otto Environmental Systems North America, Inc. refuse containers are manufactured by an injection
molding process. The injection molding process is capable of making products with complex designs that
would not be possible by other manufacturing processes such as rotational or blow molding. For
example:
• HDPE (high -density polyethylene) composition is heavy duty and fully recyclable.
• The automated manufacturing process yields lower container prices.
• Injection molding allows for intricate design features, such as wear strips, support ribs, and
assembly slots, where other molding processes create simpler outputs with limited mold design
capability.
0 Consistency in wall thickness allows isolation of special features in order to strengthen areas where
the container faces special stress, for example:
o Lid attachments are cylindrical -shaped and double -ribbed, creating a robust attachment
to the container body.
o The container base is manufactured with a dual molded -on "wear strip" to take the
brunt of the wear and abuse. The flat bottom of the container does not touch the
ground.
o Molded gussets contribute greater strength to the axle mounting details.
High pressure injected resin ensures complete and even coverage throughout the mold, providing
overall consistent wall thickness and eliminating thin spots or "windows."
An extra deep toehold assists with handling heavy loads.
Otto Environmental Systems North America, Inc. •800.795.OTTO (6886) •www.otto-usa.com
Other benefits include:
• A guaranteed ten-year, non -prorated warranty on carts and a five-year, non -prorated warranty on
recycling bins, along with a one-year non -prorated warranty on commercial dumpsters.
• A container failure rate of less than 1%.
• Standard snap -on wheels that roll easily, quietly and provide greater control of the cart.
• A large oversize solid steel axle, which is manufactured from recycled material, to provide
exceptional durability.
• A cart design that leads the industry in wind stability.
• A virtually maintenance -free container, decreasing costly labor for repair.
• A durable metal lower "catch" bar.
• Industry leading and value-added graphic design services for instructions and container branding.
• A selection of seven standard colors and superior hot stamping using the latest heat sink
technologies.
• An aesthetically pleasing container that complements both inside and outside environments.
Innovative Technology
Otto is actively investing in cloud -based technologies to change our world for the better. Our investment
in "the cloud" aims to reduce our manufacturing footprint and in turn, increase efficiencies that will lead
to a cleaner community, less printed paper, more recycled product, and reduced product lead times.
All Otto carts can be equipped with RFID tags or permanent barcodes that can link a cart to a specific
address. With RFID, a plastic RFID tag is placed inside the handle of the cart during assembly at Otto's
manufacturing facility and secured in place once the hinge pins are fastened to the lid. Barcodes are
available at the time of manufacture with several application options.
ANSI Approved
Otto carts meet or exceed A.N.S.I. (American National Standards Institute) Z245 standards for
compatibility dimensions to ensure that containers and lifters work together to safely empty and return
the container to the ground after collection. These include bib and lift bar dimensional requirements
based on the container type. For required markings, Otto carts include a code for the date of
manufacture, the maximum payload weight rating, the volumetric capacity, and safety "close lid before
moving" instructions. Cart testing is always executed with the maximum load weight of 3.5 pounds per
gallon. Additional proprietary tests are also performed and recorded to ensure variables such as
different working shifts, raw materials, and equipment are consistent for optimal output.
A.N.S.I. tests include:
1. Curb Test: This test determines whether the cart's handles, wheels and axles will withstand the
repeated impact forces experienced during a normal 10-year useful life. A maximum loaded cart
is pushed off a curb of 5.5 inches and repositioned at the top and repeated for 520 cycles! Otto's
steel axles and strong axle ribs ensure a strong base to absorb the impact without breaking.
2. Lid Test: Otto cart lids can withstand a load of 80 pounds (comparable to the weight of a small
child) without collapsing.
3. Force to Tip Test: Cart testing measures the force required to start container movement or tip a
maximum loaded cart to ensure ease of operation. Otto carts are well below the industry
standard of not exceeding 120 pounds of force.
4. Center of Balance Position Test: To further ensure ease of operation, Otto carts are tested to
ensure that the height of the handle at the center -of -balance position is between 29-40 inches.
Otto Environmental Systems North America, Inc. •800.795.OTTO (6886) •www.otto-usa.com
5. Slope Stability Test: This test checks the static stability of an empty and loaded cart on a 5-
degree slope. Otto carts stand, without tipping or moving, in three different orientations.
6. Volumetric Loading Capacity Test: To determine the volume of a container, Otto carts are
immersed in a tank of water to verify the volume of the cart.
7. Loading and Unloading — Automated (Cycle Test): A loaded cart is engaged by the lifter and
emptied. The cart is reloaded and inspections are made every 100 lifts.
8. Loading and Unloading — Semi -Automated (Cycle Test): A loaded cart is engaged by the lifter
and emptied. The cart is reloaded and inspections are made every 100 lifts.
Corporate Sustainability
Otto is committed to corporate sustainability at our manufacturing locations and in our community.
Within the manufacturing process, Otto uses the highest possible levels of recycled content without
compromising product integrity.
Otto has centered its policies and procedures around environmental sustainability — those actions that
reduce the impact that the company's manufacturing has on both local and global environments. Our
manufacturing operations have increasingly incorporated additional efforts to reduce their carbon
footprint. In the past few years, Otto has been able to reduce six -fold its solid waste generation through
reclamation, recycling and recapturing efforts. Otto recycles 13 million pounds of plastic annually
through both internal and externally sourced operations.

Carl Test Procedures
Otto Environmental Systems, LLC manufactures carts that are of the highest quality and
durability possible. One way we accomplish this is through a series of tests that
simulate the "true to life" abuses to which carts are subjected week after week.
Otto's performance testing requirements were designed to simulate the effects of hard
use in waste collection field conditions. The severity of some tests was scaled to
anticipate an expected 10-year minimum life of the containers.
1. Loaded Cart Drop Test
2. Wheel Durability
3. Axle Strength Test
4. Bottom Wear (Abraision Resistance)
5. Wind Resistance
6. Loading & Unloading
Performance Re uirments
Five (5) drops with 300 lbs. load from 12 ft.
with no damage.
520 drops with no failure of wheels
800 Lbs. without permanent deformation
of axle.
100 lbs. load dragged for 9,500 feet without
wear -through or leakage.
40 mph for 30 seconds from any direction
without blowing over.
520 complete cycles without any failures
In addition, ANSI outlines the following test proceedures in the guidelines set down for
refuse collection containers (Z245.30-1999):
Slope Stability Test (Appendex B)
Durability During Pulling (Appendex C)
Loading & Unloading (Appendex D)
Center of Balance (Appendex E)
Force to Tip (Appendex F)
Lid Test (Appendex G)
Cart is stable on 5 degree slope
See # 2 above.
See # 6 above.
Balance position achieved with handle
positioned 29" (min) to 40" (max) from
ground.
Maximum force to tip of 120 lbs.
Lid withstands 80 lbs. force.
C urt Test Procedures
The tests outlined in this document primarily focus on measurement of the container's
ability to withstand the rigors of regular usage in a waste collection system. Additional
consideration should be given to the testing described in ANSI Z245.30-1999. These
ANSI tests focus to a greater extend on ease of use and safety issues.
1. LOADED CART DROP TEST
The subject cart is loaded with 300 pounds of sand or other static ballast. The carts are
then lifted to a height of 12 feet and dropped onto a concrete surface . The test is
repeated five (5) times. Carts are then carefully inspected for evidence of any failure.
The Loaded Cart Drop Test simulates the stresses that carts must endure through years
of lift cycles, especially in fully -automated applications. This test provides a very good
indication of the overall strength and durability of the cart.
2. WHEEL DURABILITY
The test cart is fitted with the subject wheels. The cart is loaded with 336 pounds of
static ballast. The cart is then rolled off of a standard curb with a dead drop of at least 6
inches, onto a solid surface.
The test is repeated a minimum of 520 times. Wheels are inspected for cracks, flat
spots or any deformation.
3. AXLE STRENGTH TEST
The subject axle is positioned for testing with support 1" from each end. Weights are
added to apply downward force against the center of the axle. Additional weight is
added until a permanent deflection in the axle is noted.
The amount of force it takes to bend an axle is a measure of how well it will hold up
when being rolled while fully loaded.
In conjunction with the wheel durability test, the axle strength testing also indicates how
well a cart will perform when dropped onto the wheels, being rolled up and down curbs
or stairs, or is rolled over rough surfaces.
Cart Test Procedures (Page 2 .
4. BOTTOM WEAR
Carts are loaded with 100 pounds of water and dragged on a horizontal asphalt surface
at a rate not to exceed 5 MPH. When water begins to leak, the test is discontinued and
the distance is recorded.
5. WIND RESISTANCE
An empty cart is placed in a wind test fixture. Wind velocity is increased to at least 40 MPH
against the front, back, and either side. The point at which the cart tips over is noted.
Wind on the street can come from not only inclement weather, but also from passing
vehicles. This test shows not only how well a cart will stand up in the wind, but also
indicates how easily it may be tipped over by dogs or other animals.
6. LOADING AND UNLOADING TEST
The test cart is loaded with 336 pounds of static ballast and cycled at least 520 times, or
until failure occurs. A cycle is defined as grab, squeeze, lift, dump, replace on ground,
and release (re -load after each dump).
The cart is visually inspected for cracks, any indication of stress failure, or any other
indication of damage.
This test is described in greater detail in the ANSI guidelines outlined in Z245.30-1999;
Appendex D. The test simulates the approximate one pickup per week for a 10 year
period. It is an important indicator of whether or not a cart will last through its intended
life.
PRODUCT SPE.CI1'ICATION
MSD-95M "Millennium" Container
The Otto Multi -System Design MSD-95M "Millennium" rollout container consists of
injection -molded, high density polyethylene plastic body, hinged lid, two (2) hinge pins,
two (2) plastic wheel assemblies, and a solid steel axle.
The Otto MSD-95M rollout refuse container is compatible with fully automated arm lifter
systems and standard, semi -automated bar lifter systems.
This container complies with ANSI Z245.30-2008 and ANSI Z245.60-2008 standards for
Container Safety and Compatibility Requirements.
VOLUME CAPACITY:
The total actual volume of the Otto MSD-95M container is 99.9 gallons (per ANSI
Z245.30-1999, Appendix A, Volumetric Loading Capacity).
Base: 95.8 gal Lid: 4.1 gal
LOAD RATING:
Per the ANSI Z245.30-2008 Standard, the Otto MSD-95M rollout refuse container is
capable of accommodating a load of 335 lbs.
WEIGHT:
The completed assembly weight of the Otto MSD-95M container is 34.5lbs. when
equipped with Otto's 10" injection molded wheels. Other wheel options are available.
DIMENSIONS:
Overall Height: 41.25"
Loading Height: 39.25"
Overall Width: 29.38"
Overall Depth: 33.88"
Minimum Grip Diameter: 28.2"
CONTAINER BODY:
The Otto MSD-95M Container Body is injection -molded from High Density Polyethylene
(HDPE). The container body has smooth surfaces both on the interior and exterior. The

PRODUCT SPECIFICATION
interior is free of crevices and recesses where refuse could become trapped, in order to
allow complete emptying. The average wall thickness is 0.155". The high -density
polyethylene has a density of 0.945 to 0.954 grams cm3. The Melt Index (MI) of the HDPE
is 3.5 to 6.0.
The top of the container body is reinforced with a rim around its entire perimeter. This
feature adds structure and stability to the container and provides a flat surface for the lid
to close on. The top of the rim has a rain lip to prevent water from entering the container
with the lid closed. The handles are integrally molded into the container body at the top
rim. The underside of the rim on the Otto MSD-95M is reinforced with a total of forty (40)
integrally molded -in gussets spaced around the entire circumference of the container.
The front of the container has a molded recess that provides for the front "catch," or lower
lift bar. The MSD-95M container is offered with a 1" rotating steel catch bar. The clip -style
metal lower lift bar is freely rotating, 1" OD (outside diameter) roll -formed steel with formed
ends for added strength. The wall thickness of this bar is .050", hot rolled steel with an
iron zinc clear chromate top coat shielding for corrosion protection. The clip -style metal
catch bar allows for speedy installation of the bar from the outside of the container without
requiring the use of any hand tools. Metal spring clips are compressed during installation
and spring back once inside the container for a solid stop once installed.
The bottom of the container has molded -in wear ridges that extend around its perimeter.
The wear ridges provide additional protection against abrasive wear if the container is slid
on asphalt or pavement and improve impact resistance of the bottom of the container.
There is a recessed area molded above the middle of the axle which allows a person's
foot to be placed directly upon the axle to allow the container to be easily tilted, even with
a full load.
The inside bottom of the container has a spherically shaped energy absorbing detail,
approximately 8" in diameter, integrally molded into its floor. This detail has been
engineered to protect the floor of an empty container from impact when being loaded with
heavy objects.
The Otto MSD-95M rollout container has an integrally molded front "pouch" to facilitate
semi -automated lifting. This upper pouch is reinforced with a pattern of eight (8) internal
ribs. These ribs add strength and structure to the lifting pouch and front of the container.
Otto containers are designed for nesting and easy stacking for shipment and storage.
Stacking ribs are molded onto the top rim to prevent containers from becoming wedged
together during shipment.
The weight of the container body is 24.1 lbs. This weight does not include any other
components.

LID:
The Otto MSD-95M container Lid is injection -molded from HDPE and is attached to the
container body using two (2) HDPE snap -lock hinge pins. The lid rotates freely about the
hinge a full 270 degrees. The lid, when closed, rests on the top rim of the container body,
providing a secure tight fit around the entire perimeter between the lid and base. This
prevents rain, insects and vermin from entering the container, as well as preventing the
escape of most odors when the lid is closed.
The lid is molded with a hand -hold lip that extends across the full width of the front of the
cart and wraps around both corners. This allows the lid to be easily opened from three
sides without contact with refuse or residue.
The minimum material thickness in the lid is 0 .120'%
The weight of the lid is 4.1 lbs.
HINGE PIN:
The Otto MSD-95M lid Hinge Pins are injection -molded from HDPE. The hinge pins
secure the lid to the integrally molded lid hinge and handle detail. Two (2) hinge pins are
used to secure the lid. The hinge pins are installed at the factory using a rubber mallet.
At installation, the truncated conical end of the hinge pin compresses and snaps into the
pocket detail in the handle detail. This prevents vandalism and securely fastens the lid to
the container base. The hinge pins can be removed with a special tool available from
Otto.
LID HINGE AND HANDLE DETAIL:
The Otto MSD-95M Lid Hinge is integrally molded to the container body. The handle's
diameter is 1.0" and provides 1.375" clearance for gloved hands.

TESTING REPORT
DATE: 26 July 2007
SUBJECT: Trash carts
PRODUCT IDENTIFICATION: MSD-95M
TEST: WIND TUNNEL
TEST DESCRIPTION: This test is a measure of the stability of the cart in a high wind.
Although not specifically tied to the basic purpose of the cart, most consumers would object to a
cart that often tipped over and spilled the contents.
MI10" PERFORMANCE STANDARD: The specification varies from site to site
depending upon prevalent wind conditions, etc. Most manufacturers expect the cart to be stable
up to at least 30 mph.
TEST PROCEDURE:
1. A large wind tunnel with a 54 inch diameter exit opening is used for the test. The wind
was supplied by a Gates Super HC drive.
2. Position the cart 48 inches from the end of the exit opening. (Beyond stagnant air zone.)
3. The bottom of the cart is to be level with the exit opening and is to rest on a concrete
surface that has a surface texture similar to a roadway.
4. The bottom of the cart is placed against a 6 inch brace (like a curb) to prevent the cart
from rolling or sliding.
5. The wind velocity is raised until the cart starts to move. This wind speed is measured
using a certified volometer.
6. Measure the air velocity to tip the cart, either free-standing or against the curb if it has
rolled or slid.
7. Test cart in three orientations toward the wind tunnel opening — front, side and back.
8. The procedure was performed using a blow -molded wheel and then repeated using an
injection molded wheel with rubber tread.

PRODTJCT SPECIFICATION
CONTAINER BODY:
The Otto MSD-45E Container Body is injection -molded from High Density Polyethylene
(HDPE). The container body has smooth surfaces both on the interior and exterior. The
interior is free of crevices and recesses where refuse could become trapped, in order to
allow complete emptying. The average wall thickness is 0.15" on the container sidewalls
and 0.15" on the bottom section. The high -density polyethylene has a density of 0.945
to 0.954 grams cm3. The Melt Index (MI) of the HDPE is 3.5 to 6.0.
The top of the container body is reinforced with a rim around its entire perimeter. This
feature adds structure and stability to the Otto MSD-45E container and provides a flat
surface for the lid to close on. The top of the rim has a rain lip to prevent water from
entering the container with the lid closed. The handles are integrally molded into the
container body at the top rim. The underside of the rim is reinforced with a total of
twenty-eight (28) integrally molded -in gussets/ribs spaced around the entire
circumference of the container.
The front of the container has a molded recess that provides for the front "catch," or
lower lift, bar. The Otto MSD-45E container is offered with either an integrally molded
plastic front catch bar or a 1" rotating steel catch bar. Both the steel bar and plastic bar
versions are nestable with this feature fully installed/integrated. The plastic lower catch
bar is integrally molded into the container base in the front recess. Plastic bar
containers have no openings into the container bodies.
The clip -style metal catch bar is freely rotating, 1" OD (outside diameter) roll -formed
steel with formed ends for added strength. The wall thickness of this bar is .050", hot
rolled steel with an iron zinc clear chromate top coat shielding for corrosion protection.
The clip -style metal catch bar allows for speedy installation of the bar from the outside
of the container without requiring the use of any hand tools. Metal spring clips are
compressed during installation and spring back once inside the container for a solid
stop once installed.
The bottom of the container has molded -in wear ridges that extend around its perimeter.
The wear ridges provide additional protection against abrasive wear if the container is
slid on asphalt or pavement and improve impact resistance of the bottom of the
container. There is a recessed area molded above the middle of the axle which allows a
person's foot to be placed directly upon the axle to allow the container to be easily tilted,
even with a full load.
The inside bottom of the container has a cylindrical -shaped energy absorbing detail,
approximately 4.5" in diameter, integrally molded into its floor. This detail has been
engineered to protect the floor of an empty container from impact when being loaded
with heavy objects.
The Otto MSD-45E rollout container has an integrally molded front "pouch" to facilitate
semi -automated lifting. The front wall of the pouch has eleven (11) corrugations in order
RLV 0 61 Y 11AG E 2 of 6
C0 0'IT0 ENVIRONMENTAL S] ti FADS NORM I AMERIC1, INC,
PRODUCT SPECIFICATION
to support the lifting platform under maximum load lifting forces. This upper pouch is
reinforced with a pattern of eight (8) internal ribs. These ribs add strength and structure
to the lifting pouch and front of the container.
Otto containers are designed for nesting and easy stacking for shipment and storage.
Stacking ribs are molded onto the exterior of the top rim to prevent containers from
becoming wedged together during shipment.
The weight of the container body is approximately 16.6 lbs. This weight does not include
any other components.
LID:
The Otto MSD-45E container Lid is injection- molded from HDPE and is attached to the
container body using two HDPE snap -lock hinge pins. The lid rotates freely about the
hinge a full 270 degrees. The lid, when closed, rests on the top rim of the container
body, providing a secure, tight fit around the entire perimeter between the lid and base.
This prevents rain, insects and vermin from entering the container, as well as preventing
the escape of most odors when the lid is closed.
The lid is molded with a hand -hold lip that extends across the full width of the front of
the lid, and wraps around both corners. This allows the lid to be easily opened from
three sides without contact with refuse or residue.
The Otto MSD-45E lid attachments are cylindrical -shaped and double -ribbed, creating
an extremely robust attachment to the container body. The locking mechanism for the
lid hinge pin, which is inserted into the attachments, is retained beneath a molded -in
step feature within the lid.
The minimum material thickness in the lid is 0.12".
The weight of the lid is approximately 2.7 lbs.
HINGE PIN:
The Otto MSD-45E lid Hinge Pins are injection -molded from HDPE. The hinge pins
secure the lid to the integrally molded lid hinge and handle detail. Two (2) hinge pins are
used to secure the lid. The hinge pins are installed at the factory using a rubber mallet.
At installation, the truncated conical center portion of the hinge pin compresses and
snaps into the open slot in each side of the handle detail. This prevents vandalism and
securely fastens the lid to the container base. The hinge pins can be removed with a
special tool available from Otto.

LID HINGE AND HANDLE DETAIL:
The Otto MSD-45E Lid Hinge is integrally molded to the container body and lid. The
handle diameter is 1.2" and provides 1.87" clearance for gloved hands.
AXLE:
The Otto MSD-45E machined solid steel Axle has a 3/4" diameter. The axle is zinc
plated to protect against rust and corrosion. The large diameter of the axle allows the
container to be easily rolled on any surface and supports a fully loaded container. The
axle will withstand a 185-lb. load without permanent deformation. The weight of the axle
is 3.5 lb.
WHEELS:
The Otto MSD-45E Wheels are slightly recessed into the container body and can be
relocated to forward positioned hole setting, to allow for a fully assembled nestable cart.
The overall diameter of the blow molded wheel is 8".
The wheel assembly is tamper and theft -resistant and takes seconds to install on the
axle. This is made possible with the use of a spring -loaded internal steel detent, which
snaps into a locking groove in the axle. Yet, the wheel assembly can be easily removed
with a special small hand tool available from Otto.
The weight of each wheel is 0.89 lbs.
MARKINGS -
All Otto MSD-45E carts are hot stamped with a unique sequenced serial number to
facilitate distribution and control. The customer's name or logo can be hot stamped on
the container's body or lid. The containers are permanently marked with the month and
year of production, mold number, material identification, patent number, model, and
manufacture's insignia.
WORKMANSHIP:
The Otto MSD-45E plastic material — high -density polyethylene — is manufactured
from virgin raw materials by major petrochemical companies, (e.g., Exxon, Chevron -
Phillips, Quantum) and includes no recycled or regenerated plastic or foreign material.
Up to 50% recycled material (PCR) content may be available upon request on particular
colors, where suitable feedstock is available.

COLOR:
Otto's standard colors are Dark Blue, Light Blue, Green, Forest Green, Dark Gray, Light
Gray, Brown, and Black. Other colors are available to special order.
All injection -molded parts are specifically prepared to be colorfast so that the plastic
material does not alter appreciably in normal use. Due to the use of UV (ultraviolet)
stable pigment and injection molding process, Otto containers have excellent color
fastness.
UV LIGHT STABILIZATION:
The Otto MSD-45E container is stabilized against ultraviolet degradation with not less
than 0.3% UV additives. This is a state-of-the-art package that meets or exceeds older
systems requiring 0.5% UV additive by weight, and provides product viability for a
minimum of 10 years of outdoor exposure.
RECYCLABILITY:
The Otto MSD-45E container is produced with a fully recyclable thermoplastic High
Density Polyethylene (HDPE) resin. This allows the material to be recycled and reused
after the useful life of the container.
QUALITY ASSURANCE PROCEDURES AND PERFORMANCE TESTING:
The Otto MSD-45E Container is designed to withstand the following series of
performance tests. The performance test requirements were designed to simulate the
type of situations encountered in actual use. The severity of some tests was scaled to
anticipate an expected 10-year life.
