  • 1.  Truck andTrailer Size Limitations

    Posted 05-16-2022 12:19 PM
    Hello to everybody!

    We just got a damaged fence from the longest flatbed, with a 24 foot tandum trailer attached, that I have ever seen. We are trying to figure out reasonable size restrictions for vehicles entering our facility. We have 25 foot wide driveways between our units. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    Driver ability is one of the biggest factors in maneuvering inside a facility. Turn radius at the end of the drive aisles will likely be the determining factor on vehicle size as opposed to driveway width. Fire lanes generally have a 30 foot inside radius and 50 foot outside radius requirement. Load bearing capability of the drive aisles is another area you want to consider.  At our boat/RV facility, we don't allow semis because of the weight, even though they would fit.
