Altec recall: Equipment
What is wrong
Altec Industries, Inc. (Altec) is recalling certain 2016-2020 DH-B Series, DH-E Series, and D3000-E digger derricks set up for combined use and equipped with radio remote upper controls. These units only have the derrick use capacity chart and do not have the combined use capacity chart.
What could happen
The operator may not have access to the rated capacity information while they are operating the equipment in combined use, increasing the risk of an injury.
The fix
Altec will notify owners, and will require them to attach a capacity placard to the radio remote using a lanyard if it is missing, free of charge. The recall began on March 16, 2021. Owners may contact Altec customer service at 1-877-462-5832. Altec's number for this recall is CSN 792.
