Abstract: A refuse vehicle with modular elements that permit the body of the refuse vehicle to be changed and expanded. The refuse vehicle that includes a chassis and a refuse containment body coupled to the chassis that defines a refuse compartment. The refuse containment body includes a hopper mating portion at a first end of the refuse compartment and configured to couple to a hopper for loading the refuse containment body and a containment wall mating portion at a second end of the refuse compartment and configured to couple to a containment member.

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.

Abstract: An attachment system includes a lateral member and an attachment interface configured to selectively engage with an attachment to facilitate releasably coupling the attachment to the vehicle. The attachment interface includes a connecting plate coupled to the lateral member. The connecting plate includes (i) an upper interface positioned at an upper end thereof and (ii) a lower interface positioned at a lower end thereof. The upper interface defines a first aperture. The lower interface defines a second aperture. The connecting plate is configured to engage with an interface of the attachment such that the first aperture and the second aperture of the connecting plate align with corresponding apertures of the interface to removably receive a plurality of fasteners to selectively couple the attachment to the attachment interface.

Abstract: An attachment system includes a lateral member and an attachment interface. The attachment interface is configured to selectively engage with an attachment to facilitate releasably coupling the attachment to a vehicle. The attachment interface includes a first connecting plate coupled to the lateral member proximate a first end of the lateral member and a second connecting plate coupled to the lateral member proximate an opposing second end of the lateral member. Each of the first connecting plate and the second connecting plate includes (i) an upper interface positioned at an upper end thereof and (ii) a lower interface positioned at a lower end thereof. The upper interface of each of the first connecting plate and the second connecting plate defines a first aperture. The lower interface of each of the first connecting plate and the second connecting plate defines a second aperture.

Abstract: A refuse vehicle including a chassis, a body coupled with the chassis, a tailgate, an electric lock, and an electric tailgate actuator assembly. The tailgate is coupled with a rear of the body and is transitionable between a first position and a second position. The electric tailgate actuator assembly configured to transition the tailgate between the first position and the second position.

Abstract: An attachment assembly for a vehicle includes a removable attachment comprising a first actuated pin assembly configured to extend a first pin from a first side of the removable attachment and a second actuated pin assembly configured to extend a second pin from a second side of the removable attachment. The attachment assembly further includes a lift assembly including a first lift arm including a first opening configured to receive the first pin and a second lift arm including a second opening configured to receive the second pin. The first pin and the second pin are configured to cooperatively couple the removable attachment to the lift assembly when extended, and the lift assembly is configured to lift the attachment.

Abstract: A refuse vehicle includes a chassis, a body, a tailgate, a tailgate actuator, and a tailgate locking assembly. The body supports the chassis and defines a receptacle configured to store refuse therein. The tailgate is positioned at an end of the receptacle and is rotatably coupled to the body. The tailgate actuator coupled to the tailgate and is configured to move the tailgate relative to the body between an open position and a closed position. The tailgate locking assembly is coupled to the body and the tailgate actuator and is configured to couple the tailgate to the body in response to the movement of the tailgate actuator.

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.
