Compactors are manufactured in compliance of ANSI Standards. ‘Pitch-In’ height is maintained above 42” or there is an interlocked access that will not allow the ram to move unless access points are closed. In addition, multi-family housing typically has locking doors to prevent unauthorized or accidental access. ANSI requires labeling that states no one under the age of 18 is allowed to operate this equipment. Many commercial sites have chute access, Walk-In Security houses, or interlocked access gates.
