Refuse vehicle with electric reach apparatus

A reach assembly for a refuse vehicle, the reach assembly comprising:

• a body coupled to the refuse vehicle, the body defining a first inner volume;
• a first extendable member configured to be received within and extend from the first inner volume, the first extendable member defining a second inner volume;
• a second extendable member configured to be received within and extend from the second inner volume;
• a chain disposed within an inner volume of the second extendable member, the chain configured to engage sprockets coupled at opposite ends of the first extendable member, the chain fixed to the body at a first connection point and fixed to the second extendable member at a second connection point;
• and
• an electric motor configured to drive motion of the first extendable member relative to the body, wherein driving relative motion of the first extendable member to the body results in the second extendable member translating a corresponding degree of motion relative to the first extendable member.

• and
• a second extendable member configured to be received within and extend from the second inner volume;
• a tensile member disposed within an inner volume of the second extendable member, the tensile member configured to engage rotatable members coupled at opposite ends of the first extendable member, the tensile member fixed to the body at a first connection point and fixed to the second extendable member at a second connection point;
• and
• an electric motor configured to drive motion of the first extendable member relative to the body, wherein driving relative motion of the first extendable member to the body results in the second extendable member translating a corresponding degree of motion relative to the first extendable member;
• and
• a lift apparatus and grabber assembly coupled with an end of the second extendable member.
