Altec models’ emergency stop may fail
Altec Industries is recalling certain 2022-2025 AT Series, 2021-2025 AN Series Aerial Device, 2020-2026 TA Series Aerial Device, 2021 L Series Aerial Device, 2021 LR Series Aerial Device, 2023-2025 AM Series Aerial Device, and 2024-2025 AA Series Aerial Device vehicles. The ground-level emergency stop (E-stop) may not stop hydraulic functions of the machine when the machine is in ePTO mode. Hydraulic functions that do not immediately stop when the ground level E-stop is pressed increase the risk of injury.
This recall potentially affects 213 vehicles. Altec will inspect the units and test to verify the E-stop function. If the wiring is found to be incorrect, it will be updated. Owner notification letters are scheduled to be mailed July 10. Owners may contact Altec customer service at 877-462-5832. Altec's number for this recall is CSN-3322.
