Altec is proud to announce that the AC40E-152S telescopic boom truck crane will make its return as a displayed piece of Altec equipment at booth F44042 at ConExpo 2026. When configured for aerial operation, it is one of Altec’s highest-reaching aerial devices.

The LLEAP-Award-winning AC40E includes a patented Dual Entry Cab that provides safe access throughout the superstructure’s entire range of rotation. The optional 20° tilt feature delivers a clear view overhead. As with all Altec products, the AC40E is backed by the industry’s leading national support network and warranty protection.

As a material hoisting device, this machine features a maximum capacity of 80,000 pounds and is equipped with a six-section main boom with 152 feet of maximum extended length. As an A92.2 aerial device, the AC40E features a 1,200 pound-capacity platform and a maximum working height of 222 feet. The dual rating minimizes setup time and the amount of equipment needed on a project.

In addition, the AC40E’s patented, quick-attach platform reduces installation time with a lightweight bracket that secures to the main boom, the end of the jib or the optional composite reach extension. Once the bracket is attached to any of those locations, the operator can simply extend the boom until the bracket engages the platform. Longer outrigger cylinders allow easy setup on uneven terrain, reduce the amount of cribbing needed, minimize setup time and enable more payload space on the truck.

For the first time at ConExpo, Altec will also exhibit Altec Teupen equipment. The industry-leading solution for small set-up areas, Altec Teupen products are able to traverse steep grades and rough terrain. Each machine is built with unparalleled safety and reliability and backed by Altec’s nationwide service network.

Altec will display the Altec Teupen TL127AJplus, a spider lift that features a 127-foot articulating and telescopic boom and an 882-pound platform capacity. This unit offers rapid point to point access for the most difficult to reach applications. Additionally, the Altec Teupen TC89AJplus will be displayed. This spider lift represents the next generation of standard features for future Altec Teupen models. It features an 89-foot articulating and telescopic boom with a newly designed high performance boom system that provides smooth boom operation and stability aloft.

In addition to the AC65E and Altec Teupen units, Altec’s HD35A-12 pressure digger, AT41M articulating telescopic aerial device, MudDog Hydrovac 1200 Vacuum Excavator and CB5-132D-S mechanic’s truck will also be displayed at ConExpo.

Travel Far and Lift Heavy with the New Altec AC30-53T Boom Truck Crane


The AC30-53T is a tractor-mounted telescopic boom truck crane designed with versatility and jobsite flexibility in mind. With a 53 ft boom and a maximum lift capacity of 60,000, the AC30-53T can pick up and transport heavy materials across any distance. Features such as a lowest in-class fifth wheel, a low auxiliary outrigger profile and integrated trailer supply hoses make this unit ready to serve as both your go-to crane and heavy-haul tractor.

Zak Hilliard, Altec’s Cranes Market Manager said the AC30-53T was created with the customer in mind.

“When Altec designed the AC30-53T, we focused on continuously improving the safety of our equipment and providing our customers with innovative solutions to make their lives easier,” Hilliard said.

Designed to Work Where You Do

Whether you’re working in a large or small space, the AC30-53T’s design allows for a variety of options when preparing for work. A low auxiliary outrigger profile enables the operator to set up the crane regardless of trailer positioning, and the three-position main outriggers allow for easy setup in tight job sites.  The AC30-53T also offers the safest solution for accessing the trailer from the operator’s station. Wide walk-through control stations give the operator nearly two feet of clear space to step up onto a trailer.

Additionally, the AC30-53T uses a lift cylinder stop in place of a traditional boom stow. When a trailer is not attached, this allows the boom to stow to the back of the unit easily.

Load Moment & Area Protection with Zone Rating

“Altec’s commitment to safety is evident in the development of the first zone-rating system for a boom truck crane,” Hilliard said.

The AC30-53T’s Load Moment & Area Protection (LMAP) system provides an exceptional level of safety for any operator controlling the unit. The system’s menu navigation has an intuitive user interface which displays load on hook, rated capacity percentage, boom length and angle, load radius and operator-defined protection with audible alarms. While this feature is unique to Altec, the system’s hardware consists of common “off-the-shelf” components that were critically selected for their performance and serviceability.

Additionally, the LMAP uses the position of the outriggers to automatically select the crane’s load chart and displays which chart has been selected for each zone on the crane. The LMAP also prevents the boom from swinging into a zone that does not have sufficient capacity for the load.

The AC30-53T provides the following features:

  • Altec LMAP (Load Moment & Area Protection) System
    •  Slew-based Zone Rating Limits Capacity Based on Outrigger Positions
    •  Rated Capacity Limiter
    •  Displays: Boom Length, Boom Angle, Load on Hook, Percent of Rated Capacity
    • Operator Defined Audible Alarm Set-Points for Boom Angle, Length and  Rotational Position
  • Outrigger Boom Interlock System
  • Outrigger Motion Alarm
  • Anti-Two Block Device
  • Winch Control at Load Hook Stow Point
  • 15,000 lb. 2-Speed High-Performance Piston Winch
  • Rotation Resistant Wire Rope
  • Boom out of Stow Alarm
  • Boom Stow Latch to Allow Forward or Rear Stow of Boom
  • Extra-wide Walkthrough Control Stations
  • Outrigger Downjack Controls at Operator Station
  • Sliding 5th Wheel with 36-inch Travel
  • Heavy Duty 36,000 lb. Rated Pintle Hitch
  • Optional Radio Remotes
