A stacking lift truck with outriggers, fitted with a fork, the arms of which are loaded between the outriggers and where the load centre of gravity is always within the stability polygon. [Definition standardized by ISO.] 8, record 1, English, - narrow%20aisle%20straddle%20truck
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 CONT
The straddle truck can be considered a true non-counterbalanced vehicle because the load capacity and stability of this vehicle are obtained from outrigger arms that straddle the load, hence the name straddle truck. By maintaining the load within the wheelbase of the truck, a very small and stable vehicle is possible. Because the load must be contained between the straddles, this vehicle is not suited to extemely wide loads since the width across the straddles becomes excessive and increases the aisle requirement of the machine. Straddle trucks are available in both standup rider and walkie versions. 9, record 1, English, - narrow%20aisle%20straddle%20truck
