Altec Industries, Inc. is recalling approximately 900 of its 2024-2025 Digger Derrick vehicles. A mechanical component called a retaining ring may be improperly seated, which can cause the vehicle's hydraulic cylinder to lose pressure. If this happens, the boom (the extendable arm of the crane) may move unexpectedly. To fix this issue, dealers will replace the counterbalance valves free of charge.
The hydraulic cylinder failure can cause the heavy boom to move without warning. This unintended movement increases the risk of serious injury to the vehicle operator or nearby workers.
Free replacement of counterbalance valves by dealers.
Altec recall number: CSN-3223
