Abstract: At about 6:10 a.m. on July 10, 2003, Employee #1, a laborer and a helper, and other employees, were unbinding a crane, which was transported to the worksite on a blue and white 80-ton and 9-axle COZAD Low Boy Trailer bed. The crane was bound onto the trailer bed with chains. The crane that was being transported was a Link Belt LS 218. As the other employees were unbinding the crane from the trailer bed, Employee #1 stood between the gooseneck of the dolly and the rear edge of the trailer bed, hiding himself from the view of the trailer operator, who was lowering the trailer bed. As the bed came down, it pinched Employee #1's left foot, causing fractures and amputation of his left middle toe. Employee #1 was hospitalized.
