Altec Industries is recalling approximately 1,967 vehicles including 2016-2022 DM, DH, DC, DL, D2000, D3000, and D4000 series digger derricks and AM55 aerial devices. Some of these units were manufactured with a missing weld at the base of the rear pole rack. Altec will inspect the mounting plates and perform any necessary welding repairs free of charge.
A missing weld on the rear pole rack can cause the metal to crack over time. This structural failure could cause the heavy pole and its supporting rack to suddenly drop in height, which increases the risk of injury to workers or bystanders.
