What's wrong

Altec Industries, Inc. (Altec) is recalling certain 2016-2022 E-series & DH-H series Digger Derricks.

If the connections are not correct, the hydraulic overload protection system will not function.

A nonfunctional overload protection system may result in the operator unknowingly overloading the system, increasing the risk of injury.

Remedy

Altec will inspect and reattach the connectors, if necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on June 29, 2022. Owners may contact Altec's customer service at 1-877-462-5832. Altec's number for this recall is CSN 858.
