Investigation Summary
On November 3, 2010, Employee #1 was operating a Toyota, Model Number 8FDU30 fork lift, Serial Number 11352. It was modified to handle waste and recycled paper products by the addition of a hydraulic scoop or pan. He notified maintenance that the bolt used as a retaining pin for the hydraulic cylinder that tilted the pan forward and back had broken. The pin was a grade 8, 1-in. by 10-in. bolt equipped with a lock nut. The maintenance personnel told Employee #1 to raise the pan and stay in the vehicle and the maintenance person would get a jack stand so the bolt could be extracted. As the maintenance man was getting the jack stand, he heard a noise and when he looked back he saw Employee #1 pinned between the pan and the mast of the fork lift. He had exited the vehicle and got between the mast and the pan, and removed the bolt. The pan dropped on his back and pinned him between the pan and the mast. Employee #1 was killed.
