Refuse truck with helical pump

A vehicle comprising:

• a chassis;
• an energy storage device supported by the chassis and configured to provide electrical power to a prime mover, wherein activation of the prime mover selectively drives the vehicle;
• a body defining a storage compartment supported by the chassis;
• a first electric power take-off system coupled to the body, the first electric power take-off system including a first motor configured to drive a first helical gear pump and thereby convert electrical power received from the energy storage device into hydraulic power;
• a second electric power take-off system coupled to the chassis, the second electric power take-off system including a second motor configured to drive a second helical gear pump and thereby convert electrical power received from the energy storage device into hydraulic power;
• and
• a valve movable between a first position and a second position, wherein when the valve is positioned in the first position the first electric power take-off system is fluidly independent of the second electric power take-off system, and wherein when the valve is positioned in the second position the first electric power take-off system is fluidly coupled with the second electric power take-off system.

A refuse vehicle comprising:

• a chassis;
• an energy storage device supported by the chassis and configured to provide electrical power to a prime mover, wherein activation of the prime mover selectively drives the refuse vehicle;
• a receptacle for storing refuse therein supported by the chassis;
• a first electric power take-off system coupled to at least one of a body of the refuse vehicle and the chassis, the first electric power take-off system including a first motor configured to drive a first helical gear pump and thereby convert electrical power received from the energy storage device into hydraulic power;
• a second electric power take-off system coupled to at least one of the body and the chassis, the second electric power take-off system including a second motor configured to drive a second helical gear pump and thereby convert electrical power received from the energy storage device into hydraulic power;
• a valve movable between a first position and a second position, wherein when the valve is positioned in the first position the first electric power take-off system is fluidly independent of the second electric power take-off system, and wherein when the valve is positioned in the second position the first electric power take-off system is fluidly coupled with the second electric power take-off system;
• a lifting system movable relative to the receptacle using hydraulic power from the first electric power take-off system;
• and
• a compactor positioned within the receptacle and movable relative to the receptacle using hydraulic power from the second electric power take-off system.
