Publication number: 20240132082Abstract: A refuse vehicle has a chassis supporting a plurality of wheels, as well as a motor. A vehicle body is also supported by the chassis and defines a receptacle for storing refuse. A lifting system is coupled to the vehicle body and is movable between a first position and a second position different from the first position. The refuse vehicle also has a processing unit in communication with the lifting system and the motor. The processing unit is configured to access and execute a plurality of preset operational modes stored within a memory to adjust performance parameters of the refuse vehicle. The operational modes include at least two different operational modes corresponding to a presence or an absence of a first attachment in communication with the processing unit.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 2, 2024Publication date: April 25, 2024Applicant: Oshkosh CorporationInventors: Cody CLIFTON, Jerry SHIRLEY, Josh ROCHOLL, Zhenyi WEI

Patent number: 11939155Abstract: A refuse container tipping device includes a first mounting plate, a second mounting plate, a hinge plate, and a plurality of fasteners. The first mounting plate defines a plurality of first slots. The plurality of first slots each extend in a first direction along substantially parallel axes. The second mounting plate is releasably coupled to the first mounting plate and defines a plurality of second slots. The plurality of second slots each extend in a second direction along substantially parallel axes. The first direction is perpendicular to the second direction. The hinge plate is coupled to the second mounting plate. The hinge plate supports a hinge and a grapple arm that is rotatably coupled to the hinge. The plurality of fasteners couple the second mounting plate to the first mounting plate by extending through the plurality of first slots and the plurality of second slots.Type: GrantFiled: November 23, 2021Date of Patent: March 26, 2024Assignee: Oshkosh CorporationInventors: Matthew Mortenson, Varun Kandasamy, Kirby Sorensen, Clinton T.

Patent number: 11932264Abstract: A refuse vehicle has a chassis supporting a plurality of wheels, as well as a motor. A vehicle body is also supported by the chassis and defines a receptacle for storing refuse. A lifting system is configured to engage and lift waste containers to transfer refuse within waste containers into the receptacle using a hydraulic system. The refuse vehicle also has a processing unit in communication with the lifting system and the motor. The processing unit is configured to access and execute a plurality of preset operational modes stored within a memory to adjust performance parameters of the hydraulic system. The operational modes include at least two different operational modes corresponding to different refuse types.Type: GrantFiled: June 25, 2021Date of Patent: March 19, 2024Assignee: Oshkosh CorporationInventors: Cody Clifton, Jerry Shirley, Josh Rocholl, Zhenyi Wei
