About this machine
This Altec DM47BTR is a mounted digger derrick, a type of specialist utility truck — sometimes referred to as a pole digger or utility derrick — designed to drill holes and set poles for overhead power lines, telecommunications infrastructure, and similar utility construction work. Altec is a well-established American manufacturer of equipment serving the electric utility, telecommunications, and tree care industries, producing aerial work platforms, digger derricks, and related truck-mounted machinery for professional line work.
This 2017 machine is offered used from Washington, USA, and is priced at $144,500. It is configured as a 4x4, providing all-wheel drive capability suited to the uneven or off-road terrain commonly encountered on utility jobsites. The unit is equipped with a Cummins engine, a widely respected diesel powerplant known for durability and serviceability in demanding vocational applications.
The drivetrain pairs that engine with a 5-speed Allison automatic transmission, a standard choice for heavy utility trucks that balances smooth power delivery with low-maintenance operation. The gear configuration is listed as 14 forward and 21 reverse ratios, offering versatile working range for positioning and maneuvering on site. Suspension is spring type, appropriate for the loaded operating conditions typical of pole-setting work.
The derrick is rated at 24,000 lb capacity, indicating substantial lifting ability for handling utility poles and associated materials. Pole claws are included, which are the gripping attachments used to handle and position poles securely during installation. Together, these specifications describe a well-equipped, full-featured digger derrick ready for utility line construction applications.
