The defect
Altec is recalling certain model year 2010-2011 AC35/38 cranes equipped with 31-55 foot telescopic jibs built between 2010 and 2011. The jib attachment bracket is not sufficient for loads that can occur when the fully extended jib is lifted off the ground.
The risk
If the jib fails while the crane is in operation, it could pose a risk of injury to people in close proximity.
