Abstract: On March 8, 2011, Employee #1, an equipment operator, was unloading a produce trailer at the warehouse. He parked his Barrett Transporter center-ride powered pallet jack, Model FGX 160 and Serial Number 32-18485, so that it was straddling the dock and trailer ramp. As he activated the transporter, it jerked backwards and sideways, causing Employee #1 to lose his balance and fall off the transporter. As a result, his left leg was trapped between the transporter and a dock post. Employee #1 was transported to St. Jude Hospital, where he was hospitalized for treatment.
