Altec Worldwide Distributor Conference

Altec Worldwide hosted their first Distributor Conference in Bangkok, Thailand November 7 – 11, 2022. With presence from countries including China, Costa Rica, Thailand, Vietnam, Indonesia, India, Poland, Philippines, and Taiwan, the conference was successful in bringing Altec advocates together.

The agenda included presentations from both the local Altec Worldwide team and the AMT team based in Shanghai. With participant engagement as a goal, smaller breakout sessions were scheduled where distributor’s questions and in-depth conversations were encouraged. As a team-building exercise, a Chao Phya River Trip was organized for the group to tour Wat Poh temple, the Temple of Dawn, and travel the canals surrounding Bangkok. Altec partnered with our local Thai distributor, Chainant, to host a unit demonstration with five aerials including the AT37G, TA50, AT41M and an Elevator on the last day of the conference.

 

Moving forward, Altec Worldwide strives to host a distributor conference biennially in different locations across the globe.

Altec Offering JEMS Retrofit Solutions

As the world increases its focus on clean energy, the need for fleet electrification solutions is increasing rapidly. To meet the growing desire for electrification solutions, Altec is now offering JEMS retrofit solutions for approved configurations.

JEMS is the Preferred Solution for Medium/Heavy Duty Fleet Electrification

Altec’s Jobsite Energy Management System, or JEMS, provides a method to eliminate idling and reduce noise at the jobsite while still offering customers the benefits of a traditional chassis operation when needed.

Without having to idle the engine at the jobsite, JEMS delivers battery power to auxiliary chassis applications such as cab comfort AC and heat, jobsite tools and electric power take-off (ePTO) for the aerial device. When JEMS is activated, a vehicle produces zero jobsite emissions with zero reduction in performance.

Not only does idling release unnecessary emissions into the environment, but it also creates unnecessary wear and tear on a vehicle—just an hour of idling is equivalent to driving 25 miles. For large fleets, the cost of idling can add up quickly—both environmentally and in dollars and cents spent on maintenance and fuel.

Retrofits are offered for Altec equipment that has already been delivered to the customer. Currently, JEMS S and JEMS SE are available for retrofit on select chassis. JEMS S offers cab comfort, while JEMS SE offers cab comfort and ePTO for service aerial devices.
