Abstract
The disclosure describes a packing control system for a rear loading, rear discharge refuse packing body that enables adjustability in the overall weight distribution of the packed refuse. The packing density control system involves controlling the resistance of the packing/ejection panel against which refuse is packed in a rear loading refuse collection truck body so that the force necessary to cause the panel to retreat toward the front of the truck as refuse is packed in front of it can be varied in accordance with the desired density profile of the load as it is packed.
