Load Ratings (ANSI/SCTE 77)
These HDPE enclosures are pedestrian-rated for green-space and other non-vehicle traffic areas, and are not intended for vehicular loading. The full ANSI/SCTE 77 range is shown below for reference; this product's class is highlighted.
| Class | Typical Application | Vertical Design Load | Vertical Test Load | Lateral Design Load | Lateral Test Load |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pedestrian | Green space; pedestrian traffic only (never vehicular) | — | 3,000 lb (13.3 kN) | — | — |
| Tier 8 | Sidewalks; occasional non-deliberate vehicular traffic | 8,000 lb (35.6 kN) | 12,000 lb (53.4 kN) | 600 lb/sq ft (28.7 kN) | 900 lb/sq ft (43.1 kN) |
| Tier 15 | Driveways, parking lots, off-roadway; occasional heavy non-deliberate traffic | 15,000 lb (66.7 kN) | 22,500 lb (100.1 kN) | 800 lb/sq ft (38.3 kN) | 1,200 lb/sq ft (57.5 kN) |
| Tier 22 | Right-of-ways and medians; very heavy non-deliberate traffic | 22,500 lb (100.1 kN) | 33,750 lb (150.1 kN) | 2,400 lb/sq ft (38.3 kN) | 3,600 lb/sq ft (57.5 kN) |
| AASHTO H-20 | Deliberate vehicular traffic — requires certified precast concrete, cast iron, or AASHTO-recognized material | ||||
Note: Verify the required rating per local codes and project specifications. These HDPE units are pedestrian-rated only; for vehicular (Tier 8, 15, or 22) applications, see our FRP or polymer concrete enclosures.
