    truck-trailer-crane turning radius

    What Swearingen explained would be the best way to solve this problem. The worst case for clearance is not at the 90 deg (truck to trailer), it would be at around 45 deg depending on the geometry of the trailer. Basically the angle where the line from kinpin to front corner of trailer travels...
