Why are straddle carriers important in the harbor? Generally, a straddle carrier is a term for a non-road-going vehicle for use in port terminals and intermodal yards that are used for stacking and moving ISO standard containers. Straddle carriers pick up and carry containers while straddling their load and connecting to the top lifting points via a container spreader. These machines can have the ability to stack up to 4 containers. Also heavy duty cantilever racks help in stacking materials.
