A tipper assembly includes a base configured to couple to a tailgate of the refuse vehicle and an actuator assembly comprising an actuator and a transmission device. The actuator may be coupled to the transmission device and may be configured to provide an input to the transmission device. The transmission device may be configured to reduce a speed of the input. The tipper assembly further includes an arm extending from and pivotally coupled to at least one of the actuator assembly or the base and an implement coupled to the arm. The implement may be configured to engage with a refuse container and facilitate the dumping of contents within the refuse container into an opening in the tailgate.

A refuse collection vehicle has a container collection arm with a telescoping boom coupled with a refuse stowage unit of the vehicle. A grasping mechanism is coupled with an end of the boom. A rotary actuator couples the grasping mechanism with the boom to enable a waste container to be moved between a pick up position and a dump position.

A multi-purpose dumping device mounted on one vehicle assists with the emptying of both a heavy commercial refuse container and a lighter residential refuse container and easily operable by the current vehicle structure without substantial modification to the tipping mechanism.
