Employee Injured When Crane Tipped

On April 23, 2001, Employee #1 was installing concrete traffic barriers on an Interstate highway. Employee #1 was in the process of moving and setting K-rails, and was operating a National crane, Model N-135. The K-rail was 20-ft long and weighed approximately 8,000 pounds. Employee #1 attempted to drag the K-rail closer to the crane and then attempted to lift it, without the crane outriggers being fully deployed. This action resulted in overloading the crane and as a result, the crane tipped. A portion of the truck-mounted crane's lighting system trapped Employee #1 between the K-rail and the truck mounted crane. Employee #1 suffered a fracture pelvis, lacerated bladder and trauma to the scrotum area. Employee #1 was hospitalized.
