Carry can lateral stabilizer

A refuse vehicle, comprising:

• a chassis;
• a body supported on to the chassis;
• a front bumper;
• a lift arm assembly selectively movable between a transit position and a raised position;
• a fork tube coupled to the lift arm assembly and including a pair of bump plates;
• and
• a lateral stabilizer assembly including:
• a backer plate coupled to the body;
• and
• a plate pivotally coupled to the backer plate and including a curved down stop arranged at an end of the plate,
• wherein when the lift arm assembly is in the transit position, the fork tube is supported within the curved down stop and the plate engages the pair of bump plates to limit lateral movement of the fork tube.

A lateral stabilizer assembly comprising:

• a backer plate including one or more mounting apertures;
• a pivotal arm pivotally coupled to the backer plate and including a spring, wherein the spring extends along an axis about which the pivotal arm is configured to pivot toward and away from the backer plate;
• and
• a down stop arranged at an end of the pivotal arm, wherein the down stop is configured to support a fork tube of a lift assembly, in a transit position, and engage a pair of bump plates to laterally constrain the fork tube.
