Investigation Summary
On July 25, 2007, Employee #1 was disassembling a Spanco T-series three-way adjustable mobile gantry. He hooked a chain fall and a come-along on opposite ends of the A-frame sections of the gantry. He then tightened the two devices, which pulled the bottom and the top of the gantry toward one another. Employee #1 then pulled the adjusting pins from the legs of the gantry, which caused the gantry legs on one end to compress into each other. The gantry fell over, striking Employee #1 as tried to flee the collapsing structure. He was crushed and killed.
