Abstract: At approximately 2:00 p.m. on December 2, 2014, Employee #1 was working with a crew that was preparing a Liebherr LTM 1220 5.2 265 ton mobile crane for transit by coupling the crane's boom to a boom dolly. The crane operator backed the crane into position in front of the dolly and positioned the boom over the dolly. Air lines from the dolly were connected to the cranes pneumatic system in order to inflate the dolly's suspension and power the pneumatic pins that secure the boom to the dolly. The dolly was designed to release its spring applied brakes once air is introduced into its pneumatic system. The dolly was parked on an incline of approximately 5 degrees without chock blocks. After the air lines were connected, the brakes were released and the dolly rolled forward pinning Employee #1 against the back of the crane crushing him. Employee #1 was killed.
