This revised American National Standard is applicable to all persons engaged in the manufacture@ modification@ operation@ cleaning@ maintenance@ service@ or repair of mobile collecting@ transporting@ and compacting equipment. It attempts to distinguish between persons who may be the legal owner@ lessor@ lessee@ or who are otherwise contracted with or hired to become involved with@ the equipment. Excluded from this standard is equipment used for the collection@ transportation@ or disposal of hazardous or flammable materials regulated by title 40 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 263 or 49 CFR Parts 171 through 180.

Safety Requirements@ ANSI Z245.1-1984@ 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. Clauses 7 and 8 provide equipment safeguards and features and 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 unload waste or recyclable materials; to mobile tilt-frame and hoist-type equipment commonly used to pick up@ transport@ unload@ 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. 1 See 1.3 of ANSI Z245.2-2008 and ANSI Z245.21-2008 for a fuller explanation of the effective date as it applies to stationary equipment built between 1977 and the present.
