Caught in, under or between a moving and a stationary object

The employees were taking a bar off of a quarry saw to be changed out. The injured employee was holding the bar and another employee was driving the loader. As EE advanced in the loader, EE didn't lift the forks up as EE approached so IE's hand was caught between the bar and the forks of the loader.
