New Altec AF Model Offers Fuel Savings and Versatility

Birmingham, AL, April 23, 2013 — Altec Industries, Inc., has expanded the AF Series to include the AF1160 — a more versatile, fuel-efficient package, with the same industry-leading dependability and security features as the other models in the AF Series.

The AF1160 features a slightly smaller dump box (11' long x 5' tall) and a lightweight chassis - great for maneuverability at the job site and the option to drop down to a lower Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR). To best serve our tree care customers, and offer the most economic and reliable product, the new AF1160 leaves a lighter footprint.

  • Improved Fuel Efficiency
  • Easy Maneuverability
  • Ideal Start-Up Unit
  • Perfect for Confined Areas or Weight Limitations
  • Lower GVWR

Other standard features of Altec’s AF Series, include:

  • User-friendly hoist safety prop lever, which prevents the need to crawl under the truck for maintenance.
  • Easy, integrated, and secure 1-2-8 locking system: 1 handle, 2 doors, 8 locking points.
  • Altec’s ProTEC® superior corrosion-protection paint system.
  • LED light package.
  • Curbside ladder box with pole pruner shelf to offer optimal safety for workers at the job site.
