Refuse vehicle with multi-section refuse ejector

A refuse vehicle, comprising:

• a chassis including a frame and a cab disposed at one end of the frame;
• a body including a hopper portion having a first width and a storage portion having a second width greater than the first width, wherein the hopper portion is positioned forward of the storage portion, between the storage portion and the cab;
• a primary ejector having a width that corresponds with the first width;
• an auxiliary ejector, wherein the combined widths of the primary ejector and the auxiliary ejector correspond with the second width, wherein the primary ejector is selectively repositionable along a primary ejector track extending through the hopper portion and the storage portion and wherein the auxiliary ejector is selectively repositionable along an auxiliary ejector track extending through the storage portion;
• a first actuator directly coupled to both the body and the primary ejector, the first actuator configured to selectively reposition the primary ejector along the primary ejector track;
• and
• a second actuator directly coupled to both the body and the auxiliary ejector, the second actuator configured to selectively reposition the auxiliary ejector along the auxiliary ejector track.

A side-loading refuse vehicle, comprising:

• a chassis including a frame and a cab disposed at one end of the frame;
• a body including a storage portion and a hopper portion positioned between the storage portion and the cab, wherein a wall of the body that defines the hopper portion is inset relative to a wall of the body that defines the storage portion such that the body defines a space between the storage portion and the cab, alongside the hopper portion, that is configured to receive a container handling system;
• at least two ejectors, wherein a first of the ejectors has a first sweep area extending through the hopper portion and one lateral side of the storage portion of the body, the first sweep area narrower than the storage portion of the body, wherein a second of the ejectors has a second sweep area extending through a second lateral side of the storage body, and wherein the second sweep area is disposed rearward of the space defined by the body that is configured to receive the container handling system such that the second ejector sweeps a dead zone not accessible to the first ejector;
• a first actuator coupled to the body and the first ejector, the first actuator configured to selectively reposition the first ejector within the first sweep area;
• a second actuator coupled to the body and the second ejector, the second actuator configured to selectively reposition the second ejector within the second sweep area;
• a pickup configured to selectively couple the first ejector and the second ejector;
• a sensor configured to provide data relating to a position of the first ejector;
• and
• a controller configured to:
• receive the data from the sensor;
• and
• control the pickup to decouple the primary ejector and the secondary ejector in response to an indication from the sensor that the primary ejector is positioned at the interface between the storage portion and the hopper portion.
