Altec Industries is recalling approximately 975 of its 2015-2022 DT65 and DT85 Aerial Devices because a critical weld between the base boom and the auger stow bracket can crack. If the weld fails, the heavy auger bracket can detach from the boom while in use. Altec is offering a free inspection and repair of the base boom for all affected units.
A cracked weld allows the auger bracket to break off from the main boom assembly. If this occurs, the falling bracket or equipment could strike nearby workers or bystanders, significantly increasing the risk of serious injury.
Free inspection and repair of the base boom weld.
