The problem
Altec Industries, Inc. (Altec) is recalling certain 2017-2021 AN67-E100, AA67-E100, AN67, AA67, and AN55-E88 aerial devices. The hydraulic plumbing to the lift cylinders of the lower and upper booms could be connected incorrectly, allowing the boom to overextend.
The risk
The operator could overextend the boom while using the material handling jib, causing the aerial device to tip over and increasing the risk of injury.
The fix
Altec will inspect and correct the plumbing as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed February 18, 2022. Owners may contact Altec customer service at 1-877-462-5832. Altec's number for this recall is CSN 842.
