Carry can lateral stabilizer

A lateral stabilizer assembly, comprising:

• a lateral stabilizer selectively repositionable between an extended position and a retracted position, the lateral stabilizer comprising a down stop;
• a backer plate comprising one or more apertures, the lateral stabilizer mounted to the backer plate;
• and
• a spring positioned between the lateral stabilizer and the backer plate, wherein the spring extends along a rotational axis that is defined horizontally along a length of the spring, and wherein the lateral stabilizer is selectively repositionable between the extended position and the retracted position by pivoting about the rotational axis;
• wherein the down stop is configured to support a fork tube when a lift arm assembly is in a transit position, and wherein the lateral stabilizer assembly is configured to prevent lateral sway of the lift arm assembly by abutting a set of bump plates positioned on the fork tube.

A refuse vehicle, comprising:

• a chassis;
• a body coupled to the chassis;
• a lift arm assembly coupled to at least one of the chassis or the body and selectively repositionable between a transit position and a working position, the lift arm assembly comprising:
• a first arm;
• a second arm;
• and
• an implement coupled to the first arm and the second arm;
• a fork tube positioned between the first arm and the second arm;
• a set of bump plates fixedly coupled to the fork tube and positioned a distance away from one another;
• and
• a lateral stabilizer assembly coupled to at least one of the chassis or the body, the lateral stabilizer assembly comprising:
• a lateral stabilizer selectively repositionable between an extended position and a retracted position, the lateral stabilizer comprising a down stop;
• a backer plate comprising one or more apertures, the lateral stabilizer mounted to the backer plate;
• and
• a spring positioned between the lateral stabilizer and the backer plate, wherein the lateral stabilizer is selectively repositionable between the extended position and the retracted position by pivoting about a rotational axis defined horizontally along a length of the spring, and wherein the spring is configured to bias the lateral stabilizer toward the extended position.
