Travel Far and Lift Heavy with the New Altec AC30-53T Boom Truck Crane
The AC30-53T is a tractor-mounted telescopic boom truck crane designed with versatility and jobsite flexibility in mind. With a 53 ft boom and a maximum lift capacity of 60,000, the AC30-53T can pick up and transport heavy materials across any distance. Features such as a lowest in-class fifth wheel, a low auxiliary outrigger profile and integrated trailer supply hoses make this unit ready to serve as both your go-to crane and heavy-haul tractor.
Zak Hilliard, Altec’s Cranes Market Manager said the AC30-53T was created with the customer in mind.
“When Altec designed the AC30-53T, we focused on continuously improving the safety of our equipment and providing our customers with innovative solutions to make their lives easier,” Hilliard said.
Designed to Work Where You Do
Whether you’re working in a large or small space, the AC30-53T’s design allows for a variety of options when preparing for work. A low auxiliary outrigger profile enables the operator to set up the crane regardless of trailer positioning, and the three-position main outriggers allow for easy setup in tight job sites. The AC30-53T also offers the safest solution for accessing the trailer from the operator’s station. Wide walk-through control stations give the operator nearly two feet of clear space to step up onto a trailer.
Additionally, the AC30-53T uses a lift cylinder stop in place of a traditional boom stow. When a trailer is not attached, this allows the boom to stow to the back of the unit easily.
Load Moment & Area Protection with Zone Rating
“Altec’s commitment to safety is evident in the development of the first zone-rating system for a boom truck crane,” Hilliard said.
The AC30-53T’s Load Moment & Area Protection (LMAP) system provides an exceptional level of safety for any operator controlling the unit. The system’s menu navigation has an intuitive user interface which displays load on hook, rated capacity percentage, boom length and angle, load radius and operator-defined protection with audible alarms. While this feature is unique to Altec, the system’s hardware consists of common “off-the-shelf” components that were critically selected for their performance and serviceability.
Additionally, the LMAP uses the position of the outriggers to automatically select the crane’s load chart and displays which chart has been selected for each zone on the crane. The LMAP also prevents the boom from swinging into a zone that does not have sufficient capacity for the load.
