Turning templates

(OP)
I am designing haul roads for a large excavation project. I am looking for templates (or vehicle info to modify AutoTurn templates) for 15y side dump and/or 10y truck & pup. Any info or sources of information would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Scott

RE: Turning templates

Do you know who makes the truck that you are looking for?  Typically what I do is look up the vehicle manufacturer and see if they have a web site.  Some of them will publish the trucks sizes and specifications.  Just plug that information into your AutoTURN custom template and you're off and running.

Good Luck, let me know if you have questions on that process.

RE: Turning templates

(OP)
UPDATE: I was able to get some "typical" dimensions from a local dealer. The difficulty lies in the fact that these trucks are pretty much all made to customer spec, so there is no "one size fits all" set of dimensions.

Thanks for your input.
