Waste & Recycling Carts
We test what will be proven in practice.The waste and recycling container manufacture is inspected every year from scratch by an independent institute. In addition, the specified in-house monitoring of manufacturing and materials must be conducted on an ongoing basis. This guarantees a consistently high quality level. New developments are also reliably checked for quality and serviceability.
Drop Test- A container filled with a 200 lb weight is dropped from a 3 foot height multiple times in free fall on a level, rigid impact surface straight or on the front edge.
Wheel Gear Test- The wheel gear of a container filled with over 300 lbs is run continuously for 24 hours on a special rig. This is equivalent to a running distance of approximately 60 miles.
Ball Impact Test- A 10 lb steel cylinder drops multiple times at -4°F from a height of 3 ft via a cylindrical guide precisely on edges, hinges and other delicate points on the container.
Curb / Step Travel Test- A container filled with over 300 lbs impacts 1,000 times, from a height of 7 inches on to a level, rigid surface. This means that the running gear sustains repeated blows on the wheels and axles.
Wetting Agent Bath Test- To check for the formation of cracks due to tensions, the containers are submerged in a wetting agent bath (volume proportion of 2-3%) for a test duration of 48 hours at approximately 150°F.
Heated Storage- The containers are stored upright and without load in a convection oven at approximately 190°F for 3 days. The dimensional changes which occur due to the heated storage must be no more than plus 1.5% and must remain within the tolerances specified for the container.
100% New Material - 100% Quality- In the manufacture of containers, only the best raw materials from reputable suppliers are used. Only 100% new material is used here – no recycled materials. This means that we are able to keep our promises and ensure a long, fault-free service life.
