Adjustable canopy for a refuse vehicle

A refuse vehicle includes a chassis, a body configured to store refuse, a cab coupled to the chassis, and a canopy assembly extending directly above the cab. The canopy assembly includes a main body fixedly coupled to the chassis and an adjustable panel movably coupled to the main body and selectively repositionable relative to the main body.

REFUSE COLLECTION VEHICLE WITH IMPROVED SERVICEABILITY

A collection body is designed and coordinated so that equipment and frequently serviced components can be easily accessed by any operator while also staying away from lanes of traffic. The collection body is further designed so the main hopper is substantially rectangular, so that sidewalls are continuous and support operation of ejection pushers and related component. This configuration is also coordinated with the collection hopper and other collection mechanisms, so that overall coordination of all components is efficient and effective.

REFUSE BODY ADAPTER

A refuse body adapter includes a sub-frame assembly, a sub-frame adapter, and a spacer. The sub-frame assembly is configured to be coupled to a cargo body. The sub-frame adapter is configured to be coupled to a chassis of a vehicle. The spacer is coupled to both the sub-frame assembly and the sub-frame adapter. The spacer is disposed in a gap formed between the sub-frame assembly and the sub-frame adapter. A thickness of the spacer may be adjusted to accommodate different gap sizes between the sub-frame assembly and the sub-frame adapter.

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.

BIN TIPPER FOR LIFTING A COLLECTION BIN AND DEPOSITING MATERIAL CONTAINED IN THE COLLECTION BIN

A bin tipper includes a vertical support column, a cam track adjacent to the vertical support column, a structural member mounted to and configured to translate along the vertical support column, and a gripper assembly including a gripper mount having gripper arms mounted thereon that are configured to receive and hold a collection bin. The cam track includes a proximal portion parallel to the vertical support column and a distal portion provided at an angle with respect to the vertical support column. A first end of the gripper mount is pivotally mounted to the structural member and a second end of the gripper mount includes a cam follower extending therefrom that is configured to move within the proximal and distal portions of the cam track. The gripper assembly lifts and inverts the collection bin based on a position of the cam follower of the gripper mount within the cam track.

ELECTRIC POWER TAKE-OFF FOR A REFUSE VEHICLE

A refuse vehicle includes a chassis, a first energy storage device, a body, an electric power take-off system, and a subsystem coupled to the body and moveable using hydraulic power from the electric power take-off system. The first energy storage device (e.g., a battery) is supported by the chassis and is configured to provide electrical power to a prime mover. Activation of the prime mover selectively drives the refuse vehicle. The body is configured for storing refuse, and is supported by the chassis. The electric power take-off system is positioned on the body and includes an electric motor, a second energy storage device configured to provide electric power to the electric motor, and a hydraulic pump that is drive by the electric motor. The electric motor drives the hydraulic pump to convert the electrical power into hydraulic power.

Refuse body adapter

A refuse body adapter includes a sub-frame assembly, a sub-frame adapter, and a spacer. The sub-frame assembly is configured to be coupled to a cargo body. The sub-frame adapter is configured to be coupled to a chassis of a vehicle. The spacer is coupled to both the sub-frame assembly and the sub-frame adapter. The spacer is disposed in a gap formed between the sub-frame assembly and the sub-frame adapter. A thickness of the spacer may be adjusted to accommodate different gap sizes between the sub-frame assembly and the sub-frame adapter.
