Altec and LineWise announce partnership

As grid and energy constraints increase the need to stay online, live phase handling is becoming a necessary tool in transmission power line maintenance. To better serve mutual customers in this space, Altec has announced a partnership with LineWise Utility Products, a division of Diversified Product Development. LineWise designs and manufactures job specific utility products by collaborating with the utility industry.

With the goal of working to enhance performance and compatibility between LineWise products and Altec equipment, a new partnership has been forged.

This new partnership will greatly improve the customer experience when using LineWise products on Altec equipment, as Altec will now work closely with LineWise to facilitate improved LineWise load charts on Altec equipment. For example, when outfitted with the LineWise HLL-10-4000, an Altec AC40E shows an 11 percent increase in max wire holder height, a 15 percent increase in high reach load radius and a 9 percent increase in max side reach relative to today’s charts.

This also allows Altec customers to source LineWise products directly through Altec Supply, providing maximum flexibility for customers looking to add a Phase lifting attachment into their fleet.

“We are very excited to see this partnership come to fruition,” said Ryan McGiboney, Altec cranes market manager. “Both of our companies pride ourselves on putting customer needs and experience first and foremost, from product design to delivery. We believe this partnership will better support our mutual customers who employ live phase handling, one of the fastest growing work practices in the transmission space.”
