Altec Unveils New 65ton Dual Rated Unit at the 2021 Utility Expo

Birmingham, AL, September 28, 2021 – At this year’s Utility Expo tradeshow (formerly ICUEE), Altec announced the launch of the AC65E-155S, an addition to the company’s lineup of utility equipment. This machine is a dual-rated solution offering both class-leading lifting capacity as well as industry-first personnel platform capabilities.

 

“This unit is especially exciting for Altec, as it represents the culmination of an extraordinary effort to combine customer feedback with the latest technological advancements. By providing a truly innovative solution, we are helping our customers do more with less,” said Zak Hilliard, Altec Cranes Market Manager.

 

This machine will offer several industry-first features such as a true one-man counterweight installation system, as well as a 2-stage hydraulic articulating jib.

 

The unit features 65 tons of maximum lifting capacity with 155 feet of main boom length. When configured as an aerial device, it can reach a platform working height of 220 feet.

 

In addition to being the only machine in its class under 40 feet in length, it can also be configured to comply with federal bridge laws, meaning it can travel without any permits.

 

As with all Altec products, the AC65E-155S is backed by the industry’s leading national support network and warranty protection.
