Heavy equipment failure is among the many worksite hazards that may contribute to a construction site accident. The power that makes big work machines valuable to productivity can also make them deadly if that force becomes a factor in an injury to the operator or a bystander. This may lead to broken bones, a traumatic brain injury, or even a wrongful death case.

Types of heavy equipment failure

While many types of heavy equipment require a special operator's license, many others do not. Less reputable contractors may have an unlicensed operator who causes an accident while at the controls of equipment that requires a license to operate. Even if the heavy equipment does not require a licensed operator, an accident may happen due to negligence of the manufacturer. The manufacturer may not have included adequate safety instructions. The equipment may not have been tested for all work environments or may not have been assembled properly by a dealer. Any number of factors may play a role in accidents involving the following types of heavy equipment, among others:

• Forklifts
• Scissor lifts, boom lifts
• Bulldozers
• Loaders
• Dump trucks
• Cranes
• Bucket loaders
• Excavators and graders
• Bucket trucks (cherry pickers)
• Backhoes
• Tractors, combines, cultivators and other farm equipment
