Transport Canada recalls
02- Accessories#2024344
37 units affected
Issue: On certain aerial devices, the hydraulic feeder tube could become damaged by contact with the cylinder rest bracket. As a result, the feeder tube could leak oil. If this happens, there could be an uncontrolled movement of the boom. Safety Risk: Uncontrolled boom movement could increase the risk of injury to the operator and nearby people. Corrective Actions: Altec Industries will notify owners by mail and advise you to contact Altec Service to inspect and, if necessary, replace the cylinder rest pad and feeder tube. To reduce the safety risk, Altec advises to periodically inspect the feeder tube for signs of damage until the recall repairs are completed.
- Structure#2023389
122 units affected
Issue: On certain aerial devices, a hydraulic hose may have been incorrectly installed between the cylinder port and load-holding valve instead of metal tubing. If the hose gets damaged, the platform or load could move suddenly. Safety Risk: Uncontrolled movement of the platform or load could increase the risk of injury to the operator and people nearby. Corrective Actions: Altec Industries will notify owners by mail and advise you to contact Altec Service to inspect if a hydraulic hose is installed, and replace it with metal tubing as required.
