Employee's Fingertip Is Amputated When Closes Lift Gate

At about 4:00 p.m. on August 13, 2005, Employee #1 was operating a Maxon hydraulic lift gate on the rear of a moving truck. The lift controls were located on the lifting hardware and close to a hole, which was used for inserting a locking pin. While pressing the buttons, Employee #1 let his finger enter the hole. The moving internal parts sheared off the tip of Employee #1's index finger of his left hand as the gate closed. Employee #1 was hospitalized.
