1. A refuse vehicle, comprising:
a chassis supporting a plurality of wheels;
a vehicle body supported by the chassis and defining a receptacle for storing refuse therein;
a lifting system configured to engage and lift refuse containers to transfer refuse within the refuse containers into the receptacle, wherein the lifting system is operated with a hydraulic system;
a processing unit in communication with the lifting system and configured to access and execute a plurality of preset operational modes stored within a memory to adjust performance parameters of the lifting system, wherein the preset operational modes include at least two different operational modes corresponding to different route types; and
a human machine interface in communication with the processing unit and including a plurality of inputs, wherein at least two of the plurality of inputs correspond to the two different preset operational modes, the at least two different operational modes corresponding to at least one of (i) different route types including at least a residential mode and a commercial mode, or (ii) different route types including at least a recycling mode and a garbage mode;
wherein upon receiving a selection of one of the plurality of inputs on the human machine interface, the processing unit adjusts the performance parameters of the lifting system toward values associated with a preset operational mode that is associated with the at least one of the plurality of inputs selected.
