About 3.30pm emergency services were called to a property on Woodside Road at Benerembah were paramedics attempted to revive the man trapped under a grain trailer.
Police and SES volunteers attended soon after, but it was apparent the man could not be revived.
Investigators have been told that the man was attempting to steady the trailer, after it was uncoupled from a tractor, when he became trapped under it.
A 21-year-old man attempted to move the trailer with a forklift but was unsuccessful and alerted a neighbour, who contacted emergency services.
Officers will prepare a report for the information of the coroner outlining the full circumstances surrounding the death of the man.
Work Cover has been notified.
