Hi,
Case,
Tractor with a 40 foot dry cargo semitrailer.
Internal road has an uphill slope of 8 degrees.
Tractor and trailer would have to pass the docking site to then backup and turn into the docking place. Turn required 100 degrees as to get inn. Entry backing uphill which would make the maneuver easier is not possible, no place to reverse direction.
Only 65 feet in front of the docking entrance to maneuver for the turn. (Distant edge of road to docking entrance.
Is a downhill backing turn to align the semitrailer and enter the docking site possible in such a limited space?
Are 8 degrees side slope still safe as to not roll over?
Case not in the USA, I am not a driver.
Brgds.
Doable docking?
