Scope:
This revised American National Standard is applicable to all
persons engaged in the manufacture, modification, operation,
cleaning, maintenance, service, or repair of mobile collecting,

which were included in American National Standard for Safety
Requirements for Refuse Collection and Compaction Equipment, ANSI
Z245.1-1975, and American National Standard for Refuse Collecting

are now covered by American National Standard for Refuse
Collection, Processing, and Disposal Equipment — Stationary
Compactors — Safety Requirements, ANSI Z245.2-1992, as of the
effective date of that standard,1 and future revisions
of that standard.

dual drive configuration requirements that shall apply to mobile
rear-loading, side-loading, front-loading, and mechanized container
collecting equipment used to receive, compact, transport, and

and set down open top or enclosed waste or recyclable materials
containers; to vehicles used to receive, separate, densify,
transport, and unload recyclable wastes; to grapple loaders that
pick up, load and transport bulky uncontainerized special waste
like wood waste or white goods; to vehicles used to transfer waste
from one waste processing or disposal facility to another; to
satellite vehicles commonly used to receive and transport waste or
recyclable materials for unloading into other mobile waste or
recyclable materials collecting equipment; and to container lifting
devices used to lift, dump and return containers.
