What's wrong?
On 1998-2009 Terex XT60 aerial devices, the lower boom hinge pin boss is the reinforced mounting point where the lower boom pivots at the turntable. The turntable is the rotating base that supports the boom as it lifts people into work areas up to 60 feet in the air. That hinge area carries the load each time the boom raises, lowers, or rotates.
On affected XT60 units, cracks can develop around the lower boom hinge pin boss at the turntable. Those cracks can spread into the surrounding plates if they are not found during inspection. Once the plates fail, the structure that supports the lower boom no longer holds the load as designed.
There is no warning sign before failure. Because the cracking is in the turntable structure around the lower boom hinge pin boss, an operator should not expect a sound, light, or handling change before the plates fail.

What's the safety risk?
Plate failure causes unexpected boom movement and creates a risk that the platform falls. A person standing on the platform faces serious injury or death if that happens. Keep the boom out of service until Terex completes the recall repair. Repair will be free at any franchised Terex dealer once available.
