Investigation Summary

Investigation Nr: 201621331

Event: 06/03/2003

Employee killed after being caught between forks and crane

On June 3, 2003, Employee #1 was moving a Gehl, Model 4625 which is similar to a Bobcat. The employee was wearing is carpenter tool belt. As he was getting into driver compartment his hammer dropped between the equipment frame and the fork attachment. The employee raised the fork up to about six feet and reached forward to grab his hammer. His tool belt pushed the right control stick forward as he was leaning forward which released the forks and they lowered to the ground. The forks caught the victim's head and pinched it against the frame of the Gehl, causing fatal head injuries. The employee was wearing a cowboy style hard hat that obstructed his view of the load on the forks.
