Attachment system for refuse vehicle
An attachment system for a vehicle includes a lateral member and a coupler. The coupler includes a first support coupled to the lateral member, a second support spaced from the first support, a resilient member disposed between the first support and the second support, and an adjuster configured to facilitate selectively reorienting the second support relative to the first support between a first position and a second position. The second support is configured to engage an interface of an attachment when selectively reoriented into the first position and disengage the interface of the attachment when selectively reoriented into the second position.
1. An attachment system for a vehicle, the attachment system comprising:
a lateral member;
a plate defining a first aperture and having a flange that extends at least partially around the lateral member, the flange defining a second aperture positioned to expose a portion of the lateral member; and
a retainer coupled to the plate and positioned to selectively extend at least partially across the first aperture;
wherein the first aperture and the second aperture of the plate are configured to selectively receive an interface of an attachment such that the interface engages the portion of the lateral member and selectively engages the retainer.
2. The attachment system of claim 1 , the lateral member defining a first lateral member, further comprising a second lateral member having a first end and an opposing second end.
3. The attachment system of claim 2 , further comprising a first bracket coupled to the first end and a second bracket coupled to the opposing second end of the second lateral member, the first bracket and the second bracket configured to facilitate coupling the attachment system to a mechanism of the vehicle.
4. The attachment system of claim 2 , further comprising a frame member coupling the plate and the first lateral member to the second lateral member.
5. The attachment system of claim 1 , further comprising the attachment configured to selectively couple to an attachment assembly including the lateral member, the plate, and the retainer, wherein the interface of the attachment includes (i) a hook configured to extend through the second aperture and engage with the portion of the lateral member and (ii) a pocket configured to extend through the first aperture and selectively receive the retainer to releasably secure the attachment to the attachment assembly.
