Frequently Asked Questions
How much paper does the HSM 32 gallon shred cart hold?
It holds 32 US gallons, about 121 liters, and HSM rates it for up to 125 lb (57 kg) of paper. The weight rating is the more useful figure for planning, since it tells you how heavy the cart will be for whoever rolls it to the shredder.
Is a padlock included with the HSM 1070070170?
HSM's published specification does not list a padlock, so assume you need to supply one. The cart has a hasp molded into the body that takes a standard shackle padlock. Using a padlock from your existing site key system avoids adding more keys.
Will the HSM 32 gallon cart fit through an office door?
Yes, in most offices. It is 19.6 inches wide and 22.5 inches deep, the narrowest of HSM's two-wheel carts, which is why it is the usual choice when the route to the shredder includes standard doorways.
Can the HSM 32 gallon bin go under a desk?
No. It stands 36.5 inches tall, so it is meant to stand freely beside a copier, in a mail room or at the end of a row of desks. For under-desk collection, the 24-inch lockable bin is the HSM option.
When should I choose the 65-gallon cart instead?
Choose the 65-gallon cart, part 1070070180, when one cart has to serve a whole floor or you find yourself emptying the 32-gallon cart more than once a week. It roughly doubles the volume and carries a 250 lb paper rating, but it is wider and heavier to move when full.
