Are Backyard Aerials Right for Your Fleet?

If you’re looking for a versatile piece of equipment to take your work to new heights, Altec Teupen backyard aerials could be the product you’re looking for. Below, check out the six features that might make backyard aerials the right fit for your fleet.

Safety and Reliability

Backyard aerials significantly enhance safety by reducing the need for climbing, minimizing the risk of falls and injuries. Teupen was the first manufacturer of backyard tracked aerial devices and they’ve been in the industry for more than 40 years, so you can be confident you’re getting a product that’s tried and tested.

Jobsite Versatility

These machines are able to traverse steep grades and rough terrain, and they can access tighter and more challenging jobsites than other mobile aerial equipment. Many Altec Teupen models can also fit through a standard backyard gate. Their design allows for operation in hard-to-reach areas and tight spaces, making backyard aerials a go-to option for challenging jobsites.

Easy Transportation

Many Altec Teupen models can be towed using a three-quarter-ton truck and with a combined weight under 26,000 lbs, don’t require a CDL. This makes them easily transportable to your job sites without the need for specialized vehicles or certified drivers.

Faster Operator Readiness

Climbing is a valuable skill, but it’s one that takes time to master and is becoming less common. Backyard aerials can be used in many situations that would otherwise require climbing. This speeds up timelines and also allows business owners to cast a wider net when hiring employees.

The machines also feature an easy-to-use control system that allows operators to quickly get up to speed on the equipment. They also offer features that make operation more efficient, such as auto-leveling outriggers and even auto-stow for the platform on some models.

Use in a Variety of Work Applications

From tree care to lights and signs and facilities maintenance, and even in the electric utility sector, backyard aerials can be used in many work applications. Their ability to access difficult areas and perform in constrained environments opens new opportunities for businesses. There are also battery powered options for indoor use.

Easy Service

Teupen backyard aerials are backed by Altec’s nationwide mobile and shop service network. With locations and mobile technicians across the country, service is only a call away.
