Altec Recalls

Hazard: If the fasteners that attach the aerial device to the truck fail, the boom may unintentionally move, increasing the risk of personal injury or death to the aerial device user or those nearby.

Hazard: Unintended boom movement of the aerial device increases the operator's risk of injury.

Hazard: If the module overheats, there is an increased risk of a fire.

Hazard: If the cylinder lug castings crack, they may fail, resulting in unintended movement of the boom, increasing the risk of personal injury or death to the aerial device user or those nearby.

Hazard: The un-impeded movement of the jib may increase the risk of injury to the operator or those nearby.

Hazard: In cooler temperatures, the improperly set hydraulic pressure transducer may result in inadvertent boom movement, increasing the risk of injury to the occupant or those nearby.

Hazard: If the trailer tongue fails, a loss of control of the trailer or a separation of the trailer from the tow vehicle may occur, increasing the risk of a crash.

Hazard: If the disc detaches within the housing, there is an increased risk of injury to the operator or those nearby.

Hazard: Once electrically conductive, the material is capable of melting and burning, increasing the risk of a fire.

Hazard: A fracture of the winch drum increases the risk of personal injury.

Hazard: If the torsion bar welds fail, the vehicle may become unstable, increasing the risk of injury to the operator using the aerial device.

Hazard: A fiberglass lower boom insert that can conduct electricity increases the risk of electrocution to the operator should the boom contact a power line. If the joint between the fiberglass insert and the steel boom component fails, the boom may fall, putting the operator at an increased risk of injury.

Hazard: The unexpected movement increases the risk of injury to the operator or those nearby.

Hazard: A falling feeder tube increases the risk of injury to people nearby.

Hazard: If the bracket breaks, the axle may separate from the chipper, increasing the risk of a crash.

Hazard: Oil leaking onto the thermal blanket combined with heat from exhaust may result in an increased risk of fire.

Hazard: If the bolts come loose, the winch motor may detach causing the load to fall, which may result in personal injury.

Hazard: If the gap is breached, then the boom may conduct electrical current, increasing the risk of electrical shock to the operator.

Hazard: Cracks in the pedestal may cause the aerial device to fail, increasing the risk of personal injury.

Hazard: If the battery cable shorts to ground, it may overheat, resulting in a fire.

Hazard: If the jib fails while the crane is in operation, it could pose a risk of injury to people in close proximity.

Hazard: If the winch fails while in use, it could cause personal injury.

Hazard: The inadequate mounting brackets may allow the outrigger to bend, reducing the stability of the crane truck which could result in injury, death, and/or property damage.

Hazard: Due to not being the correct hardness, the wood chipper blades could fail during use causing the blade to separate. This could lead to personal injury.

Hazard: Overtime, the front brake line could become kinked leading to a loss of front brake control, increasing the risk of crash.

Hazard: If the cylinder loosens from the rod, the outrigger could strike a person or object, increasing the risk of injury or property damage.

Hazard: The stress fracture could cause the extension shaft to separate from the drive hub when digging, increasing the risk of personal injury and/or property damage.

Hazard: If the boom separates from the turntable, there is an increased risk of personal injury and/or property damage.

Hazard: As the vehicle hits bumps, it may deviate from the intended line of travel, increasing the risk of a crash.

Hazard: If cracks develop in the frame, there is an increased risk of personal injury or property damage.
