- Description
- CAN DUMPER FOR FRONTEND LOAD Minimal Essential Characteristics For Automated Can Dumper This requirement is for a piece of equipment that will convert a residential front-end loading garbage truck in a fully automated system, easily disconnecting for commercial pick-ups. The system must be able to connect to and be operated by the joystick control currently installed in the Fort Detrick vehicles. This joystick is a Perkins Manufacturing Model A90137. The automated can dumper must be able to connect and be operated by the driver utilizing 3 connections, 1) a standard, barrel round, 8 pin trailer plug, female, wired in agreement with the Perkins schematic, 2) a quote mark male quick connect hydraulic for pressure, and 3) a quote mark female quick connect hydraulic for return. The equipment shall be capable of performing the operator controlled joystick commands to; extend, wrap and grab a trash can, retract holding can, and lift (invert) can over container to empty contents, then return can to original position. Specifications are broken into two areas and one additional part, they are as follows: 1) Container The container shall be constructed so that it can mate to the front loader forks, with the ability to be secured to the truck preventing any movement of the container on the forks while in use. The container must be constructed water tight and be equipped with wind blown-shield (to prevent trash from blowing out of the container) and mount for the can dumper. Container must be constructed of materials the resist corrosion, and are structurally ridged enough to withstand continued operation of the can dumper and repeated dump cycles. The container shall contain a minimum of 3.9 cubic feet, and the total package (container + can dumper) can weigh no more than 1800 pounds. The container shall be shaped to prevent gouging of road surfaces, and be equipped with structural braces on the underside to protect and prevent the bottom from sagging in shape. The container shall be designed in such a way as to prevent the obstruction of the operators view while using the equipment. All required attachments needed to ensure safe use and operation of the container when it is mounted to the truck, including but not limited to, spacer blocks, lock blocks, safety chains, etc. shall be included with the equipment at no additional charge. The container color shall be brown. 2) Can Dumper The can dumper shall be constructed so that it can reach a minimum of 55 inches from the home position (measured from the bumper plate at rest to the bumper plate extended). The can dumper shall have a minimum lifting capacity of 400 pounds gross weight when the truck is set up to the manufacturers specifications. The gripping arms shall be capable of gripping and holding ANSI rated cans from 35 gallon size to 96 gallon size. The control system currently on the Fort Detrick frontload garbage trucks sends a command signal to move all attachments to the quote mark home quote mark position when the arms on the truck are lifted (a container dump is being made), the can dumper must be capable of receiving the command and preventing the can dumper actuators from being out of place during the dump cycle. 3) Joy Stick Controller A joy stick controller equivalent to or better than the Perkins Manufacturing Joystick assembly part number A90137 shall be included with this equipment. LOWEST PRICE, TECHNICALLY ACCEPTABLE IF NOT QUOTING quote mark BRAND NAME quote mark, THEN MUST PROVIDE MECS WITH QUOTE.
