Investigation Summary
On May 8, 2013, an employee was repairing a John Deere Harvester trailer using a torch, sledge hammer, and hydraulic bottle jack. The employee was in the process of cutting and torching the landing gear on the underside of a trailer. The trailer was a 53-foot box trailer (#56233), loaded with roughly 33,000 pounds of axle parts in steel shipping racks. The trailer was parked in the trailer lot facing north on a concrete surface. The employee positioned himself under the trailer while using a hydraulic bottlejack and some timber, cribbing to lift the trailer. This was a normal routine portion of the employee's job and was performed frequently. A co-worker had been using a sledge hammer on the landing gear and the dolly legs to break them free. At this time the trailer collapsed, crushing and killing the employee underneath. The employee died as a result of crushing injuries received to his head and upper torso when the trailer collapsed on him.
