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 AC40E 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.
