Narrative

On January 17, 2023, an employee was using an overhead crane to assemble a skid steer. As the crane was lifting the skid steer cab into place over the chassis, the cab dislodged from the crane and pinned the employee between the skid steer cab and the skid steer chassis. The employee sustained a crushing injury to the right arm.
