Investigation Summary
Employee #1 was hauling a D-6 Caterpillar on a lowboy tractor trailer. He turned the corner from the farmer's yard onto a gravel country road too sharply, and the rear wheels of the trailer dropped into the dirt. Employee #1 and two coworkers tried to pull out the trailer with a tractor, but were unsuccessful. Employee #1 unhooked the safety chains and started the pony motor. He then started the Caterpillar and tried to move it off the trailer. The Caterpillar moved approximately 6 in. and then fell over on its side into the ditch, crushing and killing Employee #1. He had been advised by two farmers to call the office for help, and not to try to move the Caterpillar by himself.
