Work Horse Series: T40P

Strength and speed most accurately describe Altec’s T40P. This large cable placer is versatile and ideal for providing safe and efficient operation at any job site. A true work horse in the aerial telecommunications, construction and maintenance industries, the T40P offers the best value in the market.

Work Practice

The T40P aerial is a large non-insulating telescopic cable placer for mobile cable placing operations. It utilizes a closed-center, electric-over-hydraulic control system to deliver predictable, consistent, smooth operation. Double acting hydraulic cylinders are used to position the platform, lower and upper booms, as well as the reel lifter. The unit has a working height of over 40ft and a side reach of over 29ft, allowing the operators to access hard to reach work locations. The end-mounted zinc plated steel platform has dual pulling eye and fairlead sockets on both sides of the platform that provide improved flexibility in cable placing work. The operators can easily change the fairlead from one side of the platform to the other, helping make them more productive at the pole. The unit has the option to add a single station reel lifter assembly capable of handling and transporting reels of various sizes and weights.

Design

Introduced to the market in 2015 as an updated version of the proven A40P, the T40P was designed by Altec engineers to maintain a solid and durable design.

Power

Rance Hill, Fleet Manager for Ervin Cable, says the T40P’s pendant mounted capstan controls, cargo space and payload abilities make cable placing work easier for his team.

“It’s a powerhouse – you have no issues getting it to do what you need it to do. It’s a beast,” said Hill.

Stringing Components

The T40P’s stringing system comes partially from the discontinued A-T40C. Equipped with a strand carrier and reel lifter, electro/hydraulic strand and reel brakes, and a full stringing system including bull wheel and tow line, the T40P is best in class and will continue to set the standard for years to come.
