The DB41B is a track-mounted digger derrick that provides easy access to confined work areas, such as residential backyards. Built to serve the electrical utility distribution and telecommunications markets, the DB41B provides best-in-class lifting and digging capacities, while also delivering best-in-class multi-functioning speed and performance.
The DB41B has increased lifting and digging capacities, while still maintaining a compact size, making it an ideal unit for storm hardening work and tough-to-access areas. The unit can easily set and service poles up to 55 feet, and even at a 15 foot load radius, it can lift over 3,600 pounds. The unit also has continuous rotation and an unlimited work zone.
This backyard derrick can traverse a variety of terrains with its ability to drive on front-to-back and side-to-side slopes of up to 15 degrees. The track carrier has retractable tracks, which can reduce the minimum width of the unit to less than 36 inches to allow easy passage through gates.
Just like every other Altec Digger Derrick, the DB41B is engineered and tested to ensure it is built to last. A feature that is standard on all Altec Digger Derricks, including the DB41B, is Altec’s five function Hydraulic Overload Protection System (HOP). During lifting operations, HOP is an important structural protection feature involved in disabling certain unit functions to prevent overload. Although HOP cannot prevent instability or replace an operator’s proper use of capacity charts, it is a valuable tool for monitoring structural limits.
The DB41B also provides the following features:
- 49.6 hp gasoline engine
- Hydraulic tilting pole guides
- Maximum pick capacity of 6,000 lb
- Full-function radio controls for driving the track carrier
- Hydraulic side load protection (HSLP) during derrick operation
- Ground pressure below 7 psi
- 34 in x 48 in cargo deck with a 2,350 lb capacity to help haul equipment and transformers
- ANSI compliant control system which interlocks when running the unit from the platform
- Optional jib winch that offers 1,000 lb material handling at any position
