Altec Launches New Fully Hydraulic Digger Derrick Series
Introducing Altec’s new fully hydraulic derrick series, the DH45H, DH48H and DH50H. The Altec “H” Series derrick is a fully hydraulic derrick that incorporates a high-flow piston pump into the hydraulic system. The variable displacement pump generates a maximum flow of 43 gallons per minute. Because flow is provided by a single variable displacement piston pump, maximum flow is available to any function for superior multi-functioning which includes 4-function boom operation. Additional benefits of the “H” series derrick is 50 percent reduction of heat generation during heavy digging, 20 percent reduction of heat generation during continuous winch operation and reduced fuel consumption.
Features and Benefits of the “H” Series Derrick
The standard 8-lever riding seat comes with a swing open control console for front entry access that improves ingress, egress and operator safety.
The standard single-handle riding seat comes with an open front, full-view seat that provides superior multi-functioning through the use of the “T-style” handle and best-in-class ingress, egress and boomtip visibility.
The zone rating system provides live operator feedback about the stability of the unit through indicator lights located on the boom for improved jobsite productivity and safety.
