Narrative:

The aircraft was conducting a normal taxi into gate in cvg. The aircraft turned from the taxiway centerline to the gate centerline. There were 2 wing walkers present, and a marshaller operating the stop light. Suddenly the marshaller gave an emergency stop signal (crossed arms). The aircraft stopped for a min or so, then continued 20-30 ft into the gate after getting a green light from the marshaller. There were no unusual occurrences prior to the emergency stop signal. Subsequent inspection revealed the left wingtip impacted a truck parked between gates X and Y. The stop signal was given after the impact occurred.
