    Types of Equipment Failure Accidents We’ve Handled

    Heavy Machinery Failures

    Bulldozers, excavators, cranes, and forklifts can seize up, tip, or lose critical functions when maintenance is skipped or key components wear out.

    Power Tool & Industrial Equipment Malfunctions

    Saws, drills, presses, and grinders sometimes throw debris, lock up mid-operation, or deliver unexpected force that leaves workers severely injured.

    Mechanical & Structural Breakdowns

    Hydraulic lifts, scaffolding, ladders, conveyor belts, and gear assemblies may give out under load, causing sudden collapses or falls.

    Automated System & Robotics Failures

    In factories, robotic arms and automated machinery can misread inputs, strike workers, or move unpredictably when sensors or programming fail.

    Electrical & Control System Failures

    A short circuit, faulty wiring, or failed emergency shutoff can turn routine equipment operation into a dangerous event.

    Material Handling Equipment Issues

    Pallet jacks, hoists, and industrial carts sometimes veer, drop loads, or malfunction when parts are worn or improperly serviced.

    Construction Equipment & Tool Breakdown

    Nail guns, compressors, jackhammers, and concrete saws can misfire or behave erratically, especially when safety guards are missing.

    Farm & Agricultural Equipment Failures

    Tractors, augers, balers, and other farm machinery can catch, crush, or pull workers in when mechanical safeguards fail.
