Altec Industries is recalling approximately 1,128 of its 2020-2024 LR7 and LR8 aerial devices. A hydraulic cylinder feeder tube located near the cylinder rest bracket may become damaged over time, leading to oil leaks. This failure can cause the boom to move uncontrollably during operation, posing a significant safety hazard to workers and bystanders. Altec will provide a free repair that includes replacing the cylinder rest pad and the feeder tube if necessary.
A damaged feeder tube can leak hydraulic oil, which may result in a loss of pressure and uncontrolled movement of the boom. This unexpected movement increases the risk of serious injury to individuals working on or near the aerial device.
Free replacement of the cylinder rest pad and hydraulic feeder tube.
