Investigation Summary

Investigation Nr: 201955796
Event: 07/15/2009
Spreader Falls and Kills Worker

On July 15, 2009, a group of workers were installing weight scales on two lifting blocks on a top rail Stewart 30-ton crane. The worker's were utilizing a Yale forklift to move the Strongback spreader that weighed approximately 4,600 pounds. The forks were raised approximately ten-feet from the ground. The mast of the forklift had a slight hydraulic leak that caused the mast tilt at an angle less than 90 degrees which then caused the Strongback spreader to slide off of the forks and fall. As the Strongback Spreader fell to the ground it struck and killed Employee #1.
