Abstract: A horizontal positioning system for a refuse loading system includes a base section, a distal section, one or more timing belt systems, one or more belt attachment devices, and one or more horizontal drive units. The base section is configured to couple to a frame of a refuse collection vehicle. The distal section is configured to couple between the base section and the refuse loading system and configured to translate with respect to the base section. At least a first one of the timing belt systems includes a pair of timing pulleys spaced horizontally from one another and each is rotatably coupled to the base section, and a timing belt is coupled around the pair of timing pulleys. At least one of the one or more belt attachment devices is configured to couple the base frame to the timing belt of at least one of the timing belt systems at a belt attachment location.

Abstract: A grabber system for loading refuse includes a frame, a first arm assembly, and second arm assembly, and a grabber drive mechanism. The first arm assembly and the second arm assembly are pivotally coupled to the frame. The grabber drive mechanism is coupled to the frame and operable to move the first arm assembly and the second arm assembly between an open position and a closed position to grab a refuse container. The grabber drive mechanism includes a driving gear, a first driven gear coupled to the first arm assembly and engaged with the driving gear, a second driven gear coupled to the second arm assembly, an idler gear engaged between the second driven gear and the driving gear, and a drive unit configured to rotate the driving gear.

Abstract: A system for loading refuse includes a grabber system and a container lift mechanism. The grabber system is operable to engage a refuse container. The container lift mechanism is configured to couple between the grabber system and a refuse collection vehicle and is operable to lift a refuse container held by the grabber system to empty contents of the refuse container into the refuse collection vehicle. The container lift mechanism includes a mast, a timing belt system, a belt attachment device, and one or more vertical drive units. The mast includes one or more vertical rails, at least one of the vertical rails including one or more guides is configured to guide the grabber system on the mast.
