Body tie-down

A vehicle comprising:

• a body;
• a chassis configured to couple with the body;
• and
• a plurality of body couplers, wherein a first one of the plurality of body couplers comprises:
• a mounting plate configured to fixedly couple with the body through a first plurality of fasteners, each of the first plurality of fasteners comprising a bolt and a collar that are swaged together;
• a spring assembly comprising a compression spring and an intermediate fastener that extends through the compression spring, the intermediate fastener that extends through the compression spring extending in a direction perpendicular with the first plurality of fasteners;
• a rigid member configured to couple with the mounting plate through the spring assembly to provide a semi-resilient joint between the rigid member and the mounting plate, the rigid member configured to fixedly couple with the chassis through a second plurality of fasteners, the second plurality of fasteners parallel with the first plurality of fasteners;
• and
• a retainer plate configured to selectively couple and decouple the mounting plate with the rigid member;
• wherein the spring assembly is configured to bias the body into direct engagement with the chassis.

A chassis assembly for a refuse vehicle comprising:

• a frame member;
• a body;
• and
• a coupler configured to secure the frame member with the body, the coupler comprising:
• a mounting plate configured to fixedly couple with the body through a first plurality of fasteners, each of the first plurality of fasteners comprising a bolt and a collar that are swaged together;
• a spring assembly comprising a compression spring and an intermediate fastener that extends through the compression spring, the intermediate fastener that extends through the compression spring extending in a direction perpendicular with the first plurality of fasteners;
• and
• a rigid member configured to couple with the mounting plate through the spring assembly to provide a semi-resilient joint between the rigid member and the mounting plate, the rigid member configured to fixedly couple with the frame member through a second plurality of fasteners, the second plurality of fasteners parallel with the first plurality of fasteners;
• and
• a retainer plate configured to selectively couple and decouple the mounting plate with the rigid member;
• wherein the spring assembly is configured to bias the body into direct engagement with the frame member.
