Publication number: 20250033875Abstract: A refuse vehicle includes a chassis, a body supported on to the chassis, a front bumper, a lift arm assembly selectively movable between a raised position and a lowered position, a fork tube coupled to the lift arm assembly and including a pair of bump plates, and a lateral stabilizer assembly. The lateral stabilizer assembly includes a backer plate coupled to the front bumper and a pivotal arm coupled to the backer plate and including a curved down stop arranged at an end of the pivotal arm. When the lift arm assembly moves from the raised position to the lowered position, the fork tube engages the pivotal arm and the pivotal arm pivots toward the backer plate. When the fork tube engages the pivotal arm, engagement between the pivotal arm and the pair of bump plates limits lateral movement of the fork tube.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 2, 2024Publication date: January 30, 2025Applicant: Oshkosh CorporationInventors: David Giere, Joseph Nelson, Reid Behrens

Patent number: 12129112Abstract: A refuse vehicle includes a chassis, a body coupled to the chassis, a lift arm assembly coupled to at least one of the chassis or the body and selectively repositionable between a first position and a second position, a fork tube coupled to the lift arm assembly, a set of bump plates coupled to the fork, and a lateral stabilizer assembly coupled to at least one of the frame or the body. The lift arm assembly includes a first arm, a second arm, and an implement coupled to the first arm and the second arm. The lateral stabilizer assembly includes a lateral stabilizer and a backer plate. The lateral stabilizer assembly is configured to prevent lateral sway of the implement when the lift arm assembly is in the first position by the lateral stabilizer coming in contact with the set of bump plates.Type: GrantFiled: February 23, 2024Date of Patent: October 29, 2024Assignee: Oshkosh CorporationInventors: David Giere, Joseph Nelson, Reid Behrens

Publication number: 20240182239Abstract: A vehicle includes a chassis, a cab coupled to the chassis, and a canopy assembly extending directly above the cab. The canopy assembly includes a main body coupled to the chassis and an adjustable panel pivotally coupled to the main body and selectively rotatable relative to the main body about a lateral axis. At least one of the main body or the adjustable panel defines a plurality of index apertures corresponding to one of a plurality of angular positions of the adjustable panel relative to the main body. The canopy assembly also includes a first pin selectively repositionable between the plurality of index apertures to secure the adjustable panel in one of the plurality of angular positions.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 15, 2024Publication date: June 6, 2024Applicant: Oshkosh CorporationInventors: Joseph Nelson, Jerry Shirley, Reid Behrens

Publication number: 20230356936Abstract: A refuse vehicle includes a chassis, a body coupled to the chassis, and a lift assembly coupled to at least one of the chassis or the body and selectively repositionable between a first position and a second position. The lift assembly includes a lateral member extending between two lift arms. The refuse vehicle further includes a lateral stabilizer assembly coupled to at least one of the chassis or the body. The lateral stabilizer assembly includes a backer plate coupled to the chassis, a lateral stabilizer coupled to the backer plate, the lateral stabilizer configured to receive the lateral member when the lift assembly is moved into the first position, and an actuator configured to adjust the position of the lateral stabilizer.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 4, 2023Publication date: November 9, 2023Applicant: Oshkosh CorporationInventors: David Giere, Joseph Nelson, Reid Behrens
