A straddle truck, also known as a "narrow aisle straddle truck," is a narrow aisle lift truck that is utilized in aisles as narrow as 6 feet and has had the counterbalancing addressed by front end outriggers. These outriggers also serve to prevent the natural forward tipping motion that would be created as a load is lifted.[1]

A high-lift truck with a wide enough BLO to straddle a pallet and engage the load.[2]
