procedures of this equipment. Conformance to applicable local, state, and federal
laws concerning installation rests with the customer.
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.
3 INSTALLATION
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 pre-locating 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.
