A refuse vehicle system includes refuse vehicle with a lift assembly and a carry can. The lift assembly includes a pair of lift arms, one or more first actuators configured to pivot the pair of lift arms, an attachment assembly coupled to ends of the pair of lift arms, and one or more second actuators. The carry can is coupled to the attachment assembly. The carry can includes a refuse container and an attachment interface coupled directly to a rear wall of the refuse container. The attachment interface includes a first mounting interface and a second mounting interface spaced from the first mounting interface. The first mounting interface and the second mounting interface are configured to engage with the attachment assembly to couple the carry can to the lift assembly with a fork-less attachment.

Attachment system for refuse vehicle

An attachment includes an implement and a plate coupled to the implement. The plate has a top end, a bottom end, and an attachment interface. The attachment interface includes (i) a hook extending from the top end of the plate and (ii) an aperture positioned proximate the bottom end of the plate. The hook is positioned to selectively engage a hook interface on the vehicle. The aperture is positioned to selectively receive a rotating locking arm on the vehicle to facilitate selectively coupling the plate and, thereby, the implement to the vehicle.

An attachment for a vehicle includes an implement and a plate coupled to the implement. The plate has a top end, a bottom end, a right side, a left side, a first interface, and a second interface. The first interface includes (i) a first hook extending from the top end and positioned proximate the left side of the plate and (ii) a first aperture positioned proximate the bottom end and the left side of the plate. The second interface includes (i) a second hook extending from the top end and positioned proximate the right side of the plate and (ii) a second aperture positioned proximate the bottom end and the right side of the plate.

An attachment system for a vehicle includes a plate and a coupling device coupled to the plate. The coupling device includes a movable portion that is selectively repositionable in a direction along a face of the plate between a first position and a second position. The movable portion is configured to engage an interface of an attachment when selectively positioned into the first position and disengage the interface of the attachment when selectively positioned into the second position.

An attachment system for a vehicle includes a lateral member, a plate coupled to the lateral member, and a coupler. The coupler includes a first support coupled to the plate, a second support spaced from the first support, a resilient member disposed between the first support and the second support, and an adjuster configured to facilitate selectively reorienting the second support relative to the first support in a direction along a face of the plate between a first position and a second position. The second support is configured to engage an interface of an attachment when selectively reoriented into the first position and disengage the interface of the attachment when selectively reoriented into the second position.
