Altec Industries, Inc. (Altec) is recalling certain 2017-2021 AN67-E100, AA67-E100, AN67, AA67, and AN55-E88 aerial devices. The hydraulic plumbing to the lift cylinders of the lower and upper booms could be connected incorrectly, allowing the boom to overextend.

The operator could overextend the boom while using the material handling jib, causing the aerial device to tip over and increasing the risk of injury.
