Altec Industries, Inc. is recalling approximately 213 model-year 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.
An operator missing the chart may not have access to the rated capacity information while operating the equipment in combined use, increasing the risk of potential injury.
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 is expected to begin March 10, 2021. Altec's number for this recall is CSN 792.
Owners may contact Altec customer service at (877) 462-5832.
