NHTSA recall campaign
21V012000
What was wrong
Defect
Altec Industries, Inc. (Altec) is recalling certain 2016-2020 DH-B Series, DH-E Series, and D3000-E digger derricks set up for combined use and equipped with radio remote upper controls. These units only have the derrick use capacity chart and do not have the combined use capacity chart.
Risk
The operator may not have access to the rated capacity information while they are operating the equipment in combined use, increasing the risk of an injury.
Manufacturer remedy
Altec will notify owners, and will require them to attach a capacity placard to the radio remote using a lanyard if it is missing, free of charge. The recall began on March 16, 2021. Owners may contact Altec customer service at 1-877-462-5832. Altec's number for this recall is CSN 792.
