Abstract
A refuse vehicle includes a chassis, a battery, a vehicle body, an electric power take-off system, a lifting system, and a disconnect. The chassis supports a plurality of wheels. The battery is supported by the chassis and is configured to provide electrical power to a first motor. Rotation of the first motor selectively drives at least one of the plurality of wheels. The vehicle body is supported by the chassis and defines a receptacle for storing refuse. The electric power take-off system is coupled to the vehicle body and includes a second motor configured to convert electrical power received from the battery into hydraulic power. The lifting system is coupled to the vehicle body and is movable relative to the receptacle using hydraulic power from the electric power take-off system. The disconnect is positioned between the battery and the electric power take-off and is configured to selectively decouple the electric power take-off system from the battery.
