Ejector for refuse vehicle

Abstract:

A refuse vehicle includes a chassis and a body assembly. The body assembly includes a series of panels configured to contain a volume of refuse therein, a ramp, and an ejector. The panels define a hopper volume and a storage volume. The ramp is disposed within the hopper volume. The ejector is configured to fully eject refuse from the storage volume. The ejector includes a wall at least partially defining an opening within a plane and a coupling pivotally and fixedly coupling a panel to the wall. The wall is movable within the storage volume. The panel is selectively rotatable relative to the wall between a closed position and an open position. The panel extends at least partially across the opening when selectively rotated into the closed position and is angularly offset relative to the plane of the opening when selectively rotated into the open position.
