Claim 6:
7. A fully-electric grabber assembly for a refuse vehicle, the fully-electric grabber assembly comprising:
a carriage configured to movably couple with a track of the refuse vehicle;
a first grabber arm rotatably coupled with the carriage at a first end of the carriage;
a second grabber arm rotatably coupled with the carriage at a second end of the carriage;
an electric climb system comprising an electric climb motor configured to drive a pinion, the pinion configured to engage the track of the refuse vehicle to move the fully-electric grabber assembly along the track; and
an electric gripping system comprising:
an electric motor;
an eccentric gear train comprising a plurality of gears configured to be driven by the electric motor and drive one of the first grabber arm or the second grabber arm to rotate relative to the carriage, wherein the plurality of gears comprise:
a first gear rotatably coupled with the carriage and translationally fixedly coupled with the carriage at an axis radially offset from a center of the first gear and configured to receive output torque from an output driveshaft of the electric motor to rotate about the axis;
an intermediate gear configured to be driven by the first gear, wherein the intermediate gear is rotatably coupled with the first gear through a rotatable linkage that extends between the center of the first gear and a center of the intermediate gear; and
an arm gear fixedly coupled with the first grabber arm and configured to be driven by the intermediate gear to pivot the first grabber arm.
