Narrative

Removal of an empty counterweight carrier from a D11 rcd tractor was found to be unbalanced which caused the front to be heavy when pins were removed. Anticipating the rear was heavy, a restraint chain had been installed on rear to prevent tipping but should have been on the front. Victim's right lower leg was momentarily pinched between crawler track & the brace of the carrier.
