This Altec D3050T is a mounted digger derrick — sometimes referred to as a digger derrick truck or utility derrick — a type of combination machine built to auger holes and lift heavy loads simultaneously, making it a mainstay of utility construction, pole-setting, and line work. Altec is a well-established American manufacturer of aerial work platforms, digger derricks, and utility equipment, with a long history of serving electric utilities, telecommunications companies, and tree care operations.
This 2000-model unit pairs the Altec D3050 boom with a 2000 Freightliner FL112 6×6 carrier, giving it a robust all-wheel-drive platform suited to off-road and rugged job-site conditions. The derrick is rated at 30,000 pounds of lifting capacity and features a three-stage boom with a 50-foot sheave height. The boom is insulated, making it appropriate for work in proximity to energised lines, and is equipped with remote-control operation for improved safety and operator flexibility.
The unit rides on four outriggers for stabilised lifting and digging, and pole grabbers are included as part of the working equipment. Onboard hydraulic accessories comprise an air compressor, a capstan, and a dedicated tool circuit, providing versatility for a range of utility tasks without additional support equipment.
Power comes from a Cummins M11 diesel engine paired with an Allison 4560 automatic transmission, a combination widely used in heavy-duty truck vocational applications for its reliability and ease of operation. The truck is rated at a gross vehicle weight rating of 66,000 pounds. The seller describes the truck as clean, originally sourced from southern California, and notes that additional features are present beyond those itemised. The machine is currently located in Montana, USA.
