Refuse Body: Body shall be of curved-shell design. The body, roof, sides, and floor shall be of a curved shell design constructed of 11-gauge 50,000-psi min. yield sheet steel with no reinforcements. The body sides and floor shall form a longitudinal box section at the side to floor interface for strength. The body shall be of a curved shell design with a rear loading hopper and shall have a capacity of: 8 cubic yards, an overall width of 83”, an overall length of 182” and shall not weigh in excess of 5,820 lbs. The ejector panel shall be powered by a 2-stage telescopic 3.5” bore, hydraulic cylinder on 6-yard machines and a 3-stage telescopic 4.5” bore hydraulic cylinder on 8 & 10 yard machines, for rapid and efficient unloading. The face of the ejector panel shall be smooth to provide a packing surface that will result in dense refuse packing. A heavy duty, waterproof and chemically inert extruded neoprene seal shall be incorporated between the tailgate and body to ensure a watertight seal that will withstand the chemistry of common refuse and the temperature excursions to which it is exposed. All welding shall be accomplished under an inert gas to ensure good weld penetration and strong, clean bonds. The body shall be prepared with a phosphate wash pre-coating etch covered with an automotive phenolic prime coat with a DuPont Imron finish coat of polyurethane high solids. Enamel or acrylic paint will not be acceptable. Packer body/tailgate combination shall meet all ANSI Z245.1 safety standards as standard equipment. D. Tailgate: The upper tailgate sides shall be constructed of 11-gauge GR 50. Two double-acting, single stage 3.5" bore hydraulic cylinders with a stroke of 10” shall power the pivoting sweep panel to ensure adequate sweep force to overcome difficult, bulky refuse. The sweep panel shall rotate through an arc of over 100 degrees to ensure complete hopper clearance. The packing panel shall rotate through an arc of 45 degrees to ensure complete hopper clearance. The tailgate, when opened or closed, shall latch and unlatch automatically. It shall be raised and lowered by two 3” bores, double-acting hydraulic cylinders incorporating an automatic fluid control valve to prevent precipitous tailgate descent in the event of a broken hydraulic line.
