2019–2022 Altec Aerial Device: Equipment recall
NHTSA campaign 22V794000 · 71 units potentially affected · filed Oct 21, 2022
What's wrong
Altec Industries, Inc. (Altec) is recalling certain 2019-2022 AT41ME aerial devices. The material handling interlocking valve may lose power when the outriggers are not set, allowing the jib winch to be operated while the outriggers are up.
Why it matters
Outriggers that are not set when loads are being lifted by the jib winch may cause the unit to tip, increasing the risk of injury.
The fix
Altec will install a visual indication system to show when the outriggers are set or not set, and provide a new pre-operational inspection placard, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed December 16, 2022. Owners may contact Altec's customer service at 1-877-462-5832. Altec's number for this recall is CSN 3030.
Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.nhtsa.gov.
