| To load a drag shovel onto a transport vehicle, the bucket is
being used as a support to lift the body of the shovel onto the bed of the
truck. |
|
The crawler tracks of the drag shovel slipped from the
transport truck bed, causing the drag shovel to topple over. The operator was
pinned beneath it.
