Investigation Summary
Employee #1, the operator, and two mechanics were moving a Clark electric, stand-up type forklift, model #NSP2056, down a ramp from the dock of a truck terminal. The mechanics were preparing to attach the forklift and ease the lift down the ramp because it had a deadman control instead of drum brakes. All three employees were aware that a deadman would not slow down the forklift on an incline. Employee #1 ignored the two mechanics, hopped on the forklift, and tried to descend the ramp. The forklift careened out of control and overturned, breaking Employee #1's leg. The ramp was from a standard 4 ft. high dock and had the required curb.
