OUTRIGGER STACKER TRUCK [1 record]

Record 1 2009-04-30

English

Subject field(s)
  • Trucks and Dollies (Materials Handling)
  • Materials Storage Equipment
DEF

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.]

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.

CONT

Narrow-Aisle (NA) Straddle Truck. Similar to stand-up CB (counterbalanced) lift truck, except outrigger arms straddle a load and are used to support the load instead of the counterbalance of the truck.

OBS

straddle truck: Not to be confused with "straddle carrier."

OBS

straddle truck: term standardized by ISO.

straddle type pallet stacking truck: term standardized by the British Standards Institution (BSI).
