Transport Canada recalls

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.
Structure#2021022January 21, 2021
59 units affected
Issue: On certain aerial devices and digger derricks, a snap ring in the hydraulic check valve assembly could fail. If this happens, the snap ring can get stuck in the hydraulic system. This could result in continued (uncontrolled) movement of the boom. Note: This recall only involves units equipped with a DC pump. Safety Risk: A boom that drifts or continues to move on its own could create a risk of injury to the operator and nearby people. Corrective Actions: Altec Industries will notify owners by mail and provide you with instructions for how to inspect the check valve assembly. If the check valve assembly needs to be replaced, Altec will supply a replacement part or set up a service appointment with an Altec Service Center or Mobile Service Technician.
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.
