Investigation Summary
At 1:20 a.m. on April 16, 2021, Employee #1, a lead mechanic, was servicing a Caterpillar 906H Compact Wheel Loader equipped with a pallet fork attachment to replace the parking brake cable. While working under the loader's arms and pallet fork attachment, Employee #1 released the hydraulic cable, causing hydraulic oil and pressure to escape. This resulted in the arms and pallet fork attachment lowering and pinning his left arm and left leg against the ground. The local fire department freed Employee #1, and emergency medical services transported him to a local hospital, where he was treated for a crushed left lower arm and wrist, broken bones in his left lower leg, and multiple fractured vertebrae in his lower back.
