Abstract

A tipper assembly includes a base configured to couple to a tailgate of the refuse vehicle and an actuator assembly comprising an actuator and a transmission device. The actuator may be coupled to the transmission device and may be configured to provide an input to the transmission device. The transmission device may be configured to reduce a speed of the input. The tipper assembly further includes an arm extending from and pivotally coupled to at least one of the actuator assembly or the base and an implement coupled to the arm. The implement may be configured to engage with a refuse container and facilitate the dumping of contents within the refuse container into an opening in the tailgate.
