Altec Customer Testimonial: Paramount Service & Maintenance

Paramount Service & Maintenance is a lights and signs company based in Miami, Florida. The company installs and services everything from signs to exterior, interior and security lighting.

Eric Ribe, Account Manager for Paramount Service, says the Altec equipment his company uses every day is designed specifically for their needs, allowing them to perform a variety of jobs for customers throughout the busy Miami area.

Eric and his team rely on Altec’s LS49 to install and service lighting with maximum use and efficiency. Designed for the lights and signs industry for both installation and maintenance, the LS49 is a non-insulating two-stage telescopic aerial device with a working height of 49 feet and a side reach of 41 feet. The state-of-the-art innovative platform has 600 pounds of platform capacity and 180 degrees of platform rotation.

“There’s not a job that we can’t do with the trucks, from 30-foot signs, pole lights, exterior signs, canopy signs, we do it all,” Ribe said.

The LS49 features a short jacking outrigger capability coupled with a minimum 19,500 pound GVWR chassis. This helps operators keep a small working footprint while still maintaining a large working envelope. This unit is ideal for crews working in tight spaces that need versatility and flexibility at the jobsite.

For Paramount Service, this feature is exactly what is needed to find ways to work efficiently in the tight spaces of Miami streets. The sign and lighting crew depends on the LS49 and its smaller chassis to get in and out of cramped areas.

Nathan Soccaras, Equipment Operator at Paramount Service, says the outrigger setup on the LS49 is a feature that stands out at the jobsite.

When it comes to efficiency and ease of use, Soccarras said the outrigger setup is “very fast for service and maintenance.”

In addition to the LS49’s smaller frame and easy outrigger setup, the LS49 adds value to Paramount Service’s daily operations by eliminating the need for operators acquiring a CDL license.

Socarras compares the features and operation of the LS49 to having a good set of tools that are precisely what you need to get a job done.

“When you have the right tool for each job, with these trucks, you can do so much and have so much capability that you’re unstoppable,” Socarras said.
