Summary: | A refuse vehicle includes a chassis, a body assembly, and an automated reach arm. The body assembly is coupled to the chassis and defines a refuse compartment configured to store refuse material. The automated reach arm includes a refuse container engagement mechanism, at least one electrically driven actuation mechanism, a first slew motor, and a second slew motor. The refuse container engagement mechanism is configured to selectively engage a refuse container. The at least one electrically driven actuation mechanism is configured to selectively actuate the automated reach arm between an extended position, a retracted position, and a refuse-dumping position. The first slew motor is configured to selectively swing the automated reach arm with respect to the body assembly about a first axis. The second slew motor is configured to selectively swing the refuse container engagement mechanism with respect to a second axis that is parallel to the first axis. |
