Investigation Summary
Employee #1, a supervisor, and Employee #2, an apprentice gantry crane operator, were in the cab of a 40-ton capacity portal/tower crane. Employee #2 was at the controls. Although the boom radius load capacity was 21 1/2 tons, the crane hoisted a 33 ton load to a height of 45 ft. The hoisted load began to rotate the cab, and, within 7 to 10 seconds, the crane fell into a dry dock. Both Employees #1 and #2 were killed.
