[R J]

Hi all , just planning a bit of building redesign,
Can artic bulkers turn at 90° (between buildings ) from a 6m wide gap to a 10m wide gap ?
Thanks

Good point , generally all the ones that come to ours are pretty good ( they have to be to negotiate the actual roads just to get to the farm )

Google will bring up turning circles for artics.
Any artic drivers living nearby you could ask

I've had a look at Google and I'm pretty sure it's fine, just double checking with others thoughts ,

id need to see it tbh before i could say just seeing measurements on a forum means nowt to me

If I’m interpreting the measurements correctly it’s the same as turning into a 30foot entrance from a 20 foot wide road? If so then yes

They'll rip off that corner, it'll be fine.

I don’t think the highways man would approve not that it matters.

it looks tight but I’m no expert, I’ve just seen a lot of technical planning Drawings to compare with

that does look tight any overhanging roofs or a picture would help

Haven't really got a picture at the moment as we need to dismantle a lean to first ,
There wont be any overhang apart from guttering , if it turns out to be too tight we will just have to dismantle anouther bay ☹

the problem is you wont be able to get right into the corners with a truck so the widths you've got become narrower iyswim and the trailer will cut in

They are not all the same is your problem, wheelbases vary etc.

Does it have to go from a 10m gap to a 6m gap to get back out

I can run an autotrac (an autocad programme for checking stuff like this) on it on Monday when in the office, it looks doable tho.

It looks tight. More importantly how do they get out? Turning from 10m into 6m not the same?
Find a friendly artic in a yard and mark it out.

Yes that would be the plan hopefully
