What this recall means for you
Certain Terex aerial devices with dual platforms have upper control stations whose emergency stop controls may not stop all boom functions. As a result, the boom can move unintentionally while an operator is working.
Unintended boom movement increases the risk of injury to people working on the platforms or nearby.
Authorized Terex dealers will install engine stop/start controls at both control stations, where necessary, and install placards, free of charge. Owners who have not yet had the repair should contact Terex customer service at 1-605-882-4000 and check their vehicle identification number (VIN) for open recalls.
