Our Experience as Lift Truck Experts
Information provided in the case showed that the lift truck had been serviced and repaired six months before the accident. As we analyzed the equipment, we realized that the cables on the boom had been re-installed incorrectly. We 3D printed a model of the lift truck and were able to show how the cables were re-installed, and how that caused the cables to sever. The cables severing caused the sudden retraction which was the cause of the injury. Based on these findings, the case settled.
What classifies a piece of equipment as an aerial lift?
Scissor lifts, articulating boom lifts, telescopic boom lifts, towable boom lifts, reach forklifts, carry deck cranes and personnel lifts are all examples of aerial lifts.
Our experts have designed dozens of aerial lifts and are often utilized to ensure that aerial lifts meet the necessary safety standards. Because our experts have such an in-depth understanding of aerial lifts, and the fact that several of our experts are certified safety professionals, they have been retained in a number of cases involving aerial lifts. An aerial lift expert witness should have all of these skills to provide their clients with the highest quality feedback on their case.
