A system for compacting rubbish, including a frame having a front wall, a carrier to be moved in a forwards-backwards direction relative to the frame, an upper scoop pivotably mounted on the carrier about a first horizontal axis and having an upper face for milling rubbish, and a lower scoop pivotably mounted on the upper scoop about a second horizontal axis, and having a lower milling face rubbish. The upper and lower scoops are to take a downwardly deployed position when their respective milling faces face the front wall. The carrier is to be moved forwards when the upper and lower scoops are in deployed position, in such a way as to compact the rubbish between the milling faces and the front wall. In the deployed position, a projection of the upper milling face in a transverse plane has a surface greater than or equal to a projection of the lower milling face in the transverse plane.

A refuse vehicle includes a chassis, a body, a primary ejector, and an auxiliary ejector. The chassis includes a frame and a cab disposed at one end of the frame. The body includes a hopper portion and a storage portion. The width of the storage portion is greater than the width of the hopper portion. The auxiliary ejector has a width equal to the difference between the width of the storage portion and the width of the hopper portion. The primary ejector is selectively repositionable within the hopper portion and the storage portion of the body to at least one of compact refuse therein or eject refuse therefrom. The auxiliary ejector is selectively repositionable within the storage portion of the body to at least one of compact refuse therein and eject refuse therefrom in tandem with the primary ejector.

A refuse vehicle includes a chassis, a refuse compartment supported by the chassis and defined by at least one of a first sidewall, a second sidewall opposite the first sidewall, or a bottom wall, and a packing assembly. The packing assembly includes a pack panel, a packing actuator coupled to the pack panel, wherein the packing actuator is configured to selectively move the pack panel between a retracted position and an extended position, and a scraper coupled with the pack panel along at least a portion of a perimeter of the pack panel and configured to be selectively repositionable relative to the pack panel, the scraper configured to engage with at least one of the first sidewall, the second sidewall, or the bottom wall.

A mobile system used for collecting, compacting, and transporting waste material from a waste generating site. The mobile system includes a waste collection container for holding the waste material therein and a roller compactor for compacting the waste material in the waste collection container to increase a density of the waste material within the waste collection container relative to a density of the waste material in the waste container. The mobile system can also have a transport truck, the waste collection container being attachable to the transport truck.

A robotic device for distributing designated items to persons includes a motion unit to autonomously move the robotic device through a premise, storage for designated items, an item dispenser to dispense from the storage, memory modules containing recognition scans and payment information of persons located within the premise and information of the designated items. The memory modules contain secondary recognition scans of persons located within the premise, recognition scanners, secondary recognition scanners, an additional scanner by an exit tube, a control unit in communication with the motion unit, the recognition scanners, the memory and the item dispenser and where the control unit directs the motion unit to move the robotic device within the premise, upon encountering a purchaser who selects a designated item, directs the recognition scanners to scan payment details of the purchaser and compares images from the recognition scanners to stored recognitions scans to verify payment.

A refuse vehicle can include a controller in communication with a hydraulic system of the refuse vehicle. The controller can control the hydraulic system to supply fluid power to a packer actuator of the refuse vehicle such that the packer actuator moves a packer of the refuse vehicle, determine that one or more other vehicle functions are active, and reduce the fluid power supplied to the packer actuator, while maintaining an amount of fluid power supplied to one or more components of the refuse vehicle, to adjust a load applied to the hydraulic system. The fluid power supplied to the packer actuator can be reduced by an amount without impacting a performance of the one or more components.

A vehicle includes a chassis, a body pivotally coupled to the chassis by a pivot assembly, and a lift actuator. The lift actuator includes a base portion positioned within the body and an actuator rod extending from the body and coupled to the chassis, such that the lift actuator is configured to lift and pivot the body relative to the chassis.
