Turning Templates for FedEx, UPS, Etc.
Turning Templates for FedEx, UPS, Etc.
(OP)
I am designing a loading area for a commercial site where all deliveries are by post (FedEx, UPS, etc.)
- No frieght vehicles -
The drive aisle to the loading area "dead ends". I'm trying to determine what the minimum width needs to be for these vehicles to turnaround, with one back-up movement maximum. Any ideas?
Also - I have all of the AASHTO 2004 turning templates, can someone recommmend a standard AASHTO vehicle type that would perform similarily to a FedEx type truck?
This site is very tight, so I can't afford to be too conservative. Right now I have forty feet between the face of my loading dock and curb.
Thank you!

Document it and put it in a report and you cannot go wrong
they are bound to try to send a bigger vehicle one day but as you are tight on space that seems a reasonable and logical basis to make a decision on and you wont get blamed
