CONCRETE PAD

1.Preferred dimensions of the concrete pad are 10'0" wide and a length of 5'0" greater than the length of the compactor/container. It should be level and of minimum 3000 PSI concrete steel reinforced, 6" thick. It is preferred that the concrete pad be flush with the surrounding ground level. NOTE: Units with four ground rollers must be installed on a level pad.

2.To provide accessibility, concrete pad should be positioned to allow 2'0" between machine and building wall if installed parallel with building. Allow a minimum of 45' of clear space from end of pad for container handling vehicle.

Note: The clearances given are minimums. Your installation may require greater clearances depending on the site and the hauling equipment that will be used.

CONTAINER GUIDES

If container guides (optional) are used with the self-contained units, the guides should be anchored to the concrete pad using 3/4" X 6" anchor bolts. These bolts should be concrete anchors or expansion type anchor bolts. To allow for construction variations, it is best if these holes are drilled in the concrete after prelocating the container guides in their desired location. Drill holes and place anchor bolts in each location provided on the guides. When the guides have been placed in position, and the anchor bolts have set, tighten all nuts securely.
