Description
Plaintiff John Sleck, an employee of Pennoyer Merchants Transfer Company, was injured on March 21, 1956 while in the process of delivering air-conditioning equipment to the eighteenth floor of the Canal-Randolph Building. At the time of the occurrence Sleck was standing on a wire grating which formed the top of the elevator that was being used to hoist the equipment. As the elevator reached the first floor the roof of the elevator gave way, causing Sleck to fall to the elevator floor. Prior to the occurrence a co-employee of Sleck had removed some of the bolts which connected the wire grating to the elevator frame. Upon inspection after the occurrence it was discovered that some bolts had been sheared and some were missing but that none had been pulled through the frame. The elevator and elevator shaft involved in the injury had been turned over to Pennoyer for its use in hoisting the equipment. Defendants third-party plaintiffs in this action, Butler Brothers, Canal-Randolph Corporation, and Gallaher and Speck, did not participate in the hoisting operation nor use the elevator during the hoisting operation.
