Crane Operator Avoids Injury When Crane Tips Over

At approximately 9:30 a.m. on September 13, 2005, an employee was working with a small crew of men, moving steel beams from the ground to a highway overpass. The employee was operating a hydraulic boom crane, and was lifting a 50-ft long steel beam weighing approximately 5,400 lb. This exceeded the safe working load for the crane. As the load was raised off the ground, the crane tipped over on its outriggers, and fell from the overpass to the ground below, destroying the crane. The crane operator survived with minor cuts and did not require hospitalization.
