Defect description

Altec Industries Inc (Altec) is recalling certain model year 2014-2015 A65, A70, A75, A72-T, A77-T, and A82-T aerial devices manufactured April 15, 2014, to October 15, 2015. The affected aerial devices have a fiberglass cover over the boom tip that may have an improperly sized opening.

Safety risk

The improperly sized opening may allow the exposed metal tip of the boom to contact an electrically energized conductor, such as an overhead wire, increasing the risk of a injury to the boom operator.

Manufacturer remedy

Altec will notify owners, and dealers will replace any boom tip cover that has an improperly sized opening, free of charge. The recall began on December 1, 2016. Owners may contact Altec customer service at 1-205-991-7733.
