OPERATIONAL MODES FOR A REFUSE VEHICLE

Abstract:

A refuse vehicle has a chassis supporting a plurality of wheels, as well as a motor. A vehicle body is also supported by the chassis and defines a receptacle for storing refuse. A lifting system is configured to engage and lift waste containers to transfer refuse within waste containers into the receptacle using a hydraulic system. The refuse vehicle also has a processing unit in communication with the lifting system and the motor. The processing unit is configured to access and execute a plurality of preset operational modes stored within a memory to adjust performance parameters of the hydraulic system. The operational modes include at least two different operational modes corresponding to different refuse types.
