Straddle Stackers
DistribuTek Leaning Center
Straddle Stackers
are the first generation of the narrow aisle trucks,
and can operate in aisles as narrow as six feet. The truck has outriggers that must straddle the load before
it can be handled. This condition requires that any load sitting on the floor must
have a clearance of six to eight inches on either side before it can be handled
by a straddle truck. Straddle trucks are used in applications and markets where
a standard pallet size and rack type is used, and where there is enough room for
the truck to straddle the load. The straddle trucks have no reach mechanism, therefore
offering less versatility then the traditional reach trucks, but cost less and have
fewer moving parts to maintain then reach trucks. They speed up the retrieval and
storing process since there is no time delay in retracting the reach mechanisms.
This truck is operated in the standing position.
