Altec Industries is recalling approximately 71 of its 2019-2022 AT41ME aerial devices due to a safety defect where the jib winch may operate even when the stabilizing outriggers are not deployed. A material handling interlocking valve can lose power, allowing the equipment to function without proper support. Altec will install a visual indicator system and provide a new inspection placard to owners free of charge to ensure the outriggers are correctly set before use.
If the jib winch is used to lift loads while the outriggers are up, the entire vehicle unit may become unstable and tip over. This creates a significant risk of serious injury to the operator and any bystanders near the equipment.
Install a visual indication system and provide a new pre-operational inspection placard.
If you or a family member were harmed by this recalled product, you may have legal rights. Consider consulting a consumer protection attorney to understand your options for compensation.
