The Next Generation: The New AA/AN55+
A generational update to one of Altec’s most popular models, the new AA55+ and AN55+ provide unparalleled jobsite safety and efficiency. With advanced unit hydraulics and controls, standard platform-to-ground, easy-to-use lower control pendant and a host of other new features and updates, these units set the gold standard for safety, productivity and serviceability.
Increased Safety
The all-new AA/AN55+ is designed with industry-leading upgrades that improve safety for operators on the jobsite. Units include platform-to-ground, significantly improving access and egress while reducing the risks of slips, trips and falls when entering or exiting the platform.
A lower control pendant further reduces the risks of injury by improving access to the controls and work visibility. The lower controls also include platform and jib tilt capabilities. Operators now have the ability to rotate the boom from lower controls without repositioning themselves.
These units come standard with Altec’s lanyard detection system. This system is available in alert or interlock configurations and reminds users to secure their lanyard to the attachment point. The alert configuration sounds an alarm and flashes a warning light when the unit is engaged from platform controls without a lanyard attached. In the interlock configuration, the system will also prevent boom movement.
Increased Productivity
In addition to numerous safety upgrades, these units also feature operational upgrades designed to increase productivity. The platform features fully meterable interlocking controls. These controls don’t require as much force as previous models and can be operated one-handed. The platform also has a keypad that includes a visual E-Stop indication and Smart Station Selection. Revamped jib architecture moves the winch line closer to the operator and improves responsiveness in cold weather.
Improved Serviceability
Technology upgrades and design enhancements improve the serviceability of these units, making it easier than ever before to prevent downtime and mitigate any interruptions. In terms of design, simplified unit plumbing reduces the risk of leaks in the system by 60 percent.
Next-generation equipment with advanced control systems provides more data than ever before about how equipment is being used, but data alone isn’t enough. That’s where Altec Insights comes in—available for the AA/AN55+.
Through Altec Insights, users receive simple and actionable information designed to help answer essential questions, enhance jobsite safety and reduce downtime. Users can remotely view unit diagnostic trouble codes and vehicle status within Altec Connect.
Units are also compatible with the AXIS Service tool. Its rich user interface and intuitive system allow for quick and easy calibration and diagnosis of Altec machines.
