Birmingham, AL, November 1, 2011 — Altec Industries, Inc., announced today they will offer new standard features on the AF Series for 2012. The AF forestry body continues to meet customer demands with the updated standard curbside ladder storage, along with the key features of the hoist safety prop lever and secure integrated locking system.
