A Back Hoe Loader carrying back filling material was passing underneath an over head 2-inch dia Instrument air line inside a live gas plant. While passing the line the rear arm of the loader hit the line as the vehicle recoiled when the operator applied brake. Due to the impact the line detached from its threaded flange which caused trip of two running compressors in the station.
