Platform Cover Cleanout / Cup Holder (Product Improvement)
QAR Interlock Cutout
Interlock cutout removed from weldment assemblies and replaced to be on newly created outrigger legs.
- This makes design control easier to manage by showing it on the leg and not each weldment
Weldment Assembly Drawing Updates Updated the eight corresponding weldment assembly drawings to show
increased clarity of weldment procedures. This included isometric, detail, and exploded views.
BEFORE
AFTER
Redesigned Outrigger Rod Cover
Outrigger rod cover would come into interference with the cylinder manifold when folded. Cover was redesigned to prevent this occurrence.
Contact
Stationary cylinder manifold
Retracting rod cover
Before After
New design enables rod cover to safely return to the stowed position without contact.
Old Rod Cover Vs. New Rod Cover
Old New
Outrigger Rod Cover Scraping The rod cover would also come into contact (metal-on-metal) with the cylinder it
covered when maneuvering the outrigger legs. This caused both scratches and paint damages to the parts. Designed and created new slide pad to hinder
metal-on-metal scraping.
CDS0009 Implementation (Altec Decals)
Altec Corporate wanted to ensure that their aerials had four visible logos on their machines:
• 2 curb side• 1 street side• 1 rear/front (depending on model)

Platform Cover Cleanout / Cup holder Customers had issues with debris, such as woodchips, getting caught in
the TDA58 cup holder as well as the bottom of the platform. Users were not able to clear debris, a new design was needed.
Old design, ½ in hole in center Initial idea for redesign
Platform Cover Cleanout / Cup holder
Final Design, Quarter-cut Prototype – made on camps
Lesson: sometimes the simple approach is the best approach.
Platform Cover Cleanout / Cup holder Similar to the cup holder, the bottom of the platform cover also experienced
issues with built-up debris. Cover must continue to hold in the multiple hoses
