  • Publication number: 20220258967
    Abstract: A refuse vehicle includes a chassis, a body, a cab, a lift assembly coupled to the chassis and/or the body, and a control system. The lift assembly includes a first arm, a second arm, an implement coupled to the first arm and the second arm, and an actuator positioned to pivot the first arm and the second arm to facilitate repositioning the implement between a plurality of positions. The control system is configured to (i) control a user interface to provide an indication of a current position of the lift assembly, (ii) automatically reposition the lift assembly without requiring operator intervention to accommodate a low clearance environment, and/or (iii) limit a speed of the refuse vehicle in response to the current position not being a transit position.

  • Publication number: 20220258965
    Abstract: A refuse truck includes a chassis, a body, a lift assembly coupled to the chassis and/or the body, a cab coupled to the chassis and positioned in front of the body, and a control system. The cab includes an armrest comprising controls pivotable between an active position and an inactive position and an armrest position sensor configured to determine a position of the armrest between the active position and the inactive position. The control system configured to control a user interface to provide an indication of a current position of the lift assembly. The control system further configured to determine a position of the armrest, and selectively activate a pendent control on an exterior of the body.

  • Publication number: 20220161854
    Abstract: A body tie-down for a chassis includes a mounting plate, a spring assembly, and a rigid member. The mounting plate is configured to fixedly couple with a body frame member with one or more fasteners, each of the fasteners including a bolt and a collar that are swaged together. The rigid member is configured to couple with the mounting plate through the spring assembly to provide a semi-resilient joint between the rigid member and the mounting plate, the rigid member configured to fixedly couple with a frame.
