Aspects hereof relate to a translating cargo assembly for a vehicle. The translating cargo assembly may include a translation mechanism, which may be affixed to a cargo frame of the vehicle. The translating cargo assembly may also include a carrier frame that is coupled with the translation mechanism and configured to mate with cargo implements. A drive mechanism, such as a rotary actuator, may be coupled with the translation mechanism. The rotary actuator may be effective to translate the carrier frame through a range of positions including a transport position, in which the carrier frame may be adjacent to the cargo frame, and a loading position, in which the carrier frame may be proximate ground level.

A leveling assembly for a lift device includes a carrier arm, an axle, a first actuator, and a second actuator. The carrier arm includes a base that defines a first interface configured to pivotally couple the carrier arm to a chassis of the lift device to facilitate a pitch adjustment of the leveling assembly, a projection that defines a second interface, and a transition that extends angularly between the base and the projection such that the projection is elevated relative to the base. The axle defines a third interface positioned to engage with the second interface to pivotally couple the axle to the carrier arm to facilitate a roll adjustment of the leveling assembly. The first actuator is pivotally coupled to a first lateral end of the axle. The second actuator is pivotally coupled to an opposing second lateral end of the axle.

A bulk handling system for collecting, loading, transporting and dumping of yard waste and landscape materials such as grass clippings, yard debris, soil, mulch, stone and other dry and/or wet substances. The functions for controlling and operating the mechanical bulk handling system include a titling lift platform for filling and dumping and a gate that when open acts as a lift to move materials into the bulk container and when closed functions as a closed door. In addition to the bulk container operating in a horizontal position for transporting, which uses virtually no floor space on the platform and/or vehicle selected for use, it can also be angled downward for filling and elevated for dumping and emptying. For filling, the gate end of bulk container and lift frame can be lowered closer to the ground from a vehicle for easier and more efficient loading by an operator.

Techniques are described for correlating entity identification information with refuse containers being serviced by a refuse collection vehicle (RCV). Location data can be collected by location sensor(s) on the RCV at a time when a triggering condition is present, such as a time when a lift arm is operating to empty a refuse container into the hopper of the RCV. The location data can be provided as input to an algorithm that estimates a container location through a vector offset to account for the distance and direction of the RCV lift arm relative to the location sensor in the RCV. The container location can be correlated with parcel data to determine the parcel that the container was on or near to when it was serviced, and the customer or other entity associated with the parcel can be correlated to the particular container based on the analysis.
