Structure#2023195March 31, 2023
2 units affected
Issue: On a small number of digger derricks with a dual pole rack system, a weld could be missing on the rear pole rack. As a result, the rack could crack and cause the pole and rack to drop in height. Safety Risk: A pole and rack that drop could create a risk of injury. Corrective Actions: Altec Industries will notify owners by mail and instruct you to contact Altec Service to inspect the rear pole rack mounting plate, and repair any missing welds at no charge.
Label#2019284June 11, 2019
56 units affected
Issue: The slope indicator placard on certain digger derricks may have incorrect information. This could make a user think that it is not necessary to level the unit while working on a slope. A unit that is not properly levelled could be unstable. Safety Risk: An unstable derrick unit could create a risk of injury. Corrective Actions: The company will notify owners by mail and instruct them to remove the incorrect slope indicator placard.
Other#2016237May 17, 2016
9 units affected
