An uncontrolled load falling increases the risk of injury to personnel or others nearby.
Complaints are reports from owners of this model year, not findings about any particular vehicle, and a model that sold in large numbers will collect more of them. They are counted here as filed; nothing is inferred from them.
An uncontrolled load falling increases the risk of injury to personnel or others nearby.
An operator may improperly set up the unit, making the unit unstable, thus increasing the risk of injury.
Unrepaired cracks may result in failure of the pedestal and uncontrolled movement increasing the risk of injury.
The insufficiently sized wire may overheat, increasing the risk of fire.
Once electrically conductive, the material is capable of melting and burning, increasing the risk of a fire.
A falling feeder tube increases the risk of injury to people nearby.
Two 2009 ALTEC DIGGER DERRICKs can have entirely different histories, and a recall campaign usually covers a build-date window rather than a whole model year — which a VIN does not encode, so only the door-jamb label settles it. Scanning the VIN adds the decode, the crash tests, the fuel economy and the complaints matched to that exact engine, trim and assembly plant.
