Investigation Summary
Employees were pulling orders from the sixth level using an electric Raymond lift truck, serial #021-86-01660, with a wooden pallet. Employee #1 was tied off to the lift. When the orders had to be taken from a section in another aisle, the lift driver drove the lift with the load raised 14 ft 7 1/2 in. high. As the lift maneuvered into the warehouse to change aisles, the weight shifted and the lift fell on its side. Employee #1 unhooked his safety belt and jumped off. He was killed when he hit the concrete floor, suffering a fractured skull and a brain hemorrhage. The lift forks were raised while traveling and the pallet was not secured to the lift.
