Abstract
A refuse vehicle includes a chassis, a cab coupled to the chassis, a refuse compartment supported by the chassis and including a storage volume and a hopper volume, a lift assembly configured to selectively move relative to the refuse compartment, a hopper sensor coupled to a portion of the refuse compartment and configured to measure a refuse height within the hopper volume, and a packing assembly including a pack panel and a packing actuator. The packing actuator is configured to selectively move the pack panel between a retracted position and an extended position. The pack panel is configured to extend away from the retracted position in response to the hopper sensor sensing that the refuse height is greater than or equal to a refuse height threshold.
