Product Overview

A bigger cart in the same family: 60 litres in a teal tank that is moulded in one piece with a deep catch basin, so the water that leaves the face lands in the basin instead of running down the front of the tank. A yellow cover pulls down to start the flow and carries the pull label, and a green waste bin sits on the lower deck under the basin outlet.

The frame is the same idea as the 53 L cart — tubular, on castors, with a push handle — so the unit can be wheeled to the job and needs no water line, no drain and no power.

What 60 Litres Buys You

• Longer stand-alone service – at a nominal 11.4 L/min eyewash flow, 60 L gives roughly five minutes of flushing. That is still short of the fifteen-minute standard, but it is a straight improvement on a smaller tank when no plumbed station is close.

• Fewer refills on a shift – useful where several people test the unit or where a single incident is followed by a full refill before the cart returns to service.

• Reserve for a second casualty – where two people may be exposed at the same point, the larger tank keeps the unit in service after the first flush.

• Same footprint – the extra volume is in height and depth of the moulding, not in a wider frame.

Moulded Catch Basin

• Splash stays in – the basin is part of the tank moulding, deep enough to hold the water off a face at close range.

• No tray hinge to wear – the cover is the only moving part at the front; the basin itself has no joint to loosen.

• Guided position – the basin shape puts the face where the spray head can reach it, rather than leaving the user to find the stream.

• Easy to wipe – one smooth moulding, no corners behind a rim.

Construction

• 60 L teal HDPE tank – moulded body with fill cap and a deep integral catch basin.

• Yellow pull-down cover – starts the flow and carries the pull label at eye level.

• Spray head in the basin – set into the moulding so the stream lands where the face is guided.

• Wheeled frame – green tubular frame, castors and push handle.

• Waste bin – green bin on the lower deck, removable.

Technical Specifications

Setting Up and Weekly Care

1. Fill with clean tepid water through the top cap and close it firmly.

2. Wheel the cart to the hazard, on level ground, with the front clear and the castors braked.

3. Pull the yellow cover down and check the stream runs clear and lands inside the basin.

4. Time how long the tank lasts at that flow and mark the figure on the unit.

5. Weekly: replace the water, run the unit briefly, wipe the basin and cover, check the castors.

6. After use: empty the waste bin, refill the tank, return the cart to its marked position.

Maintenance

• Weekly water change is the main task; standing water is where contamination starts.

• Monthly: check the cover hinge, spray head, cap seal and castor brakes.

• Quarterly: sanitise and rinse the tank; check the basin edges for cracks.

• Annually: inspect the tank moulding for crazing and the frame for corrosion at the welds.

Standards and Compliance

ANSI Z358.1 calls for a fifteen-minute flush. Even at 60 L, a gravity cart cannot deliver fifteen minutes at eyewash flow, so it must be treated as a first-response unit that leads to a plumbed station; measure and mark the duration it actually provides. Water must be changed weekly and kept tepid where the standard requires it, and the cart must be kept within about ten seconds of the hazard with a clear approach.

Applications

Maintenance and turnaround work, construction sites, laydown yards, workshops without water, battery and paint areas, spill response, and remote compounds where a larger reserve is wanted.

Ordering

Order by model XM2408L. Please state quantity and whether spare covers or bins are needed. The 53 L cart with wash gun options, static gravity stations, and plumbed wall-mounted eye washes are also available.
