Dual-Rated Product

With a few simple equipment configurations, the AC40-152S can easily transform from crane to aerial mode of operation in a matter of minutes, allowing crews to maximize work by reducing the requirement to have multiple products on site. When configured for aerial operation, the operator can send crews aloft to work at heights in excess of 220 feet with optional equipment. When configured for crane operation, the user has all the benefits of a crane with a main boom length of 152 feet.

Quick Attach Platform

Altec’s patent-pending quick attach platform reduces the overall time required to install the platform on uneven ground. The platform interfaces with a lightweight bracket that seamlessly secures to the main boom, the end of the jib, or to the optional composite reach extension. Once the platform is in position on the ground and the bracket is attached to any of the above listed locations, the operator can simply extend the boom until the bracket engages the platform.

Load Moment and Area Protection (LMAP)

The AC40-152S features Altec’s new LMAP system. The convenient menu navigation with intuitive user interface displays load on hook, rated capacity percentage, boom length and angle, and load radius. Altec was the first boom truck crane manufacturer to include operator-defined audible alarm set points (Area Protection) as standard equipment with the Load Moment Indicator (LMI).

Longer Outrigger Jack Cylinders

Longer outrigger cylinders allow for easy unit setup on uneven ground and alleviates the need for extra cribbing. This feature reduces fatigue, minimizes set up time and provides more payload on the deck of the unit and comes standard on the AC40-152S.

The AC40-152S will be added to the Global Rental fleet, and is now available to order. To learn more about Altec cranes and equipment, call 866-966-2969 or contact an Altec representative online.

Altec Supply Offers OSHA Approved Equipment

Are You Ready?

Don’t be caught off-guard! The New OSHA Requirements for Arc Flash Clothing, Harnesses, Lanyards, and Fall Protection Equipment will be effective April 1, 2015. Altec Supply offers the OSHA approved equipment that will help you keep your employees safer.

The New Rule, 1910.269

Qualified Employee: A qualified employee must use fall protection when climbing or changing location on poles, towers, or similar structures, unless the employer can demonstrate that climbing or changing location with fall protection is infeasible or creates a greater hazard than climbing or changing location without it. The changes for qualified employees are effective April 1, 2015.

Note: It will be the employer’s responsibility to show OSHA why fall protection cannot be used if the employer elects not to use fall protection. Previous rules states that fall protection equipment was not required to be used by qualified employees who are climbing or changing locations.

Arc Flash: Personal fall arrest equipment must be capable of passing a drop test after exposure to an electric arc if the workers using fall arrest equipment are exposed to flames or electric arc hazards. The OSHA electric arc/heat energy level of 40+/- cal/cm2, is the same as the ASTM F887 arc flash requirement. Therefore, if the at height worker is exposed to flame or arc flash hazards, the use of arc flash fall arrest equipment is required. Arc flash compliant fall arrest equipment (harnesses, lanyards, and self-retracting lanyards, ASTM F887 reference) will meet the new OSHA regulation.
