  • Publication number: 20230356940
    Abstract: A refuse vehicle includes a chassis and a body supported by the chassis. The body defines a collection chamber that is configured to store refuse therein. The body includes a bottom wall and a sub-frame assembly. The sub-frame assembly includes a pair of frame rails and a plurality of cross-members. The pair of frame rails is coupled to the bottom wall and extending in a longitudinal direction along the bottom wall. The plurality of cross-members is engaged with the bottom wall and extend in a lateral direction that is substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal direction. Each of the plurality of cross-members extends through the pair of frame rails. The plurality of cross-members each has a uniform cross-sectional shape along their entire length.

  • Publication number: 20230356938
    Abstract: A refuse vehicle includes a chassis, a body, and a hydraulic system. The body is coupled with the chassis and includes a first frame rail and a second frame rail. The hydraulic system includes a pump, a hydraulic cylinder, and a hydraulic line. The pump is configured to pressurize a fluid. The hydraulic cylinder is configured to receive the fluid and extend or retract. The hydraulic line is configured to fluidly couple with an outlet of the pump and an inlet of the hydraulic cylinder. The hydraulic line is configured to extend laterally through the first frame rail by fluidly coupling with a connector that extends through an opening in the first frame rail. A portion of the hydraulic line extends in a longitudinal direction between the first frame rail and the second frame rail from the connector to the hydraulic cylinder.
