A straddle carrier or straddle truck is a freight carrying vehicle that carries its load underneath by `` straddling '' it , rather than carrying it on top like a conventional truck .. The advantage of the straddle carrier is its ability to load and unload without the assistance of cranes or forklifts .. The lifting apparatus under the carrier is operated by the driver without any outside assistance and without leaving the driver 's seat .
