  Turning Radius Guidelines for Trucks

The truck shown is a standard truck used by CXT Incorporated. The information below will help you determine if your building will make it to your site (special arrangements MUST be made for Double Cascadian and Double Cascadian with Chase).

Standard height of building on the truck is 13'6". If you have low power line, bridges, tree limbs, etc. please call the Logistics Coordinator at 800-696-5766 for special arrangements. Standard widths change on each building. Please refer to building dimensions for widths.

Turning Radius

If your road has tight corners use these steps to help determine if we can access your site with a standard truck.

Step 1 - Determine angle of the corners and road width requirements.
(see diagram and chart).
If the angle falls between two of the angles listed, use the larger angle.

Step 2 - Measure road width.

If your road width is equal to or greater than the width listed on the chart, the truck will be able to reach your site.

If your road width is less than the dimension listed on the chart please call the Logistics Coordinator at 800-696-5766 for special arrangements.

This information was developed through the CalTrans Design Manual. If there is any doubt please call CXT for assistance.
