Door should be able to be fully opened, flat against side of cart, and be held there by magnet. iii. Two way, four-pedal foot operated brake system, iv. Powder coated doors of one colour. Tenderers will need to state if there are colour options - Three point turn lock, sealable by cable tie or similar vi. At least 8 Internal runners as shown in Figure 1: Service Carts, spaced circa 7.2 mm apart, as shown in Figure 1: Service Carts. We believe these are based on normal Atlas runners, but in any event, they should support wire baskets and drawers, as shown in Figure 3: White Drawers and Figure 4: Wire Baskets (Review specification document) vii. 1 internal Shelf, mid height in place of a runner, or an alternative way to give strength/support to the cart. Current approach shown in Figure 1: Service Carts. We want the positioning of any internal shelf to maximise the space available, so that there is minimal space loss due to the drawers and basket positioning, as per Figure 2, avoiding wasted space.. viii. External bumpers along the length of the cart (but not impeding door fully opening) ix. Corner protectors on the 4 top corners (these can be fitted post delivery, but tenderers will need to state if these are or are not included.) - Cart top should be durable, flat and easily wipeable. xi. All internal surfaces should be smooth, and easily cleanable for hygiene purposes (no hidden nooks, ledges etc) - We do not require the carts to have temperature insulation. - Our current fleet is fitted with 100mm Steinco as shown in Figure 1: Service Carts. We expect our new carts will have similar size and design, and the castors will require to traverse some rough terrain, such as rumble strips on platforms, or tarmacked areas. Therefore, they do need to be durable. - Each cart will require to be uniquely identified through an aluminium asset tag riveted to the cart, and has the next due maintenance date on another riveted tag. Tenderers will need to state whether the carts come with, or without these already in place. We would also prefer our new carts to have a different colour to our current fleet, in order to aid identification of the two types. - Please note that we require 431 carts, but believe this may not fully load all containers. We will therefore also request a priced option to avoid any part filled containers.
