Howdy y'all,
Here's one I haven't seen before: are there resources out there that show the turning radius of a forklift, including nosing and chording? If it differs between models, is there a resource for the different models?

Hi Doug
Please note I have *moved* this thread from the AutoCAD General forum to this one as I feel this particular Forum is a more appropriate place for such a topic.
Thanks, Mike

There is a program called AutoTurn that I believe has a template for a forklift. I'm usually using the aircraft templates so I'm not 100% positive, but they have a lot of vehicles.
It's in metric, but it has a pretty good group of turning radii

I've played with AutoTurn before. From what I recall it is possible to create cutom vehicles, including wheel locations and determining which wheels articulate..Quote:

BTW: never let an electrical engineer try architecture.
Or vice versa.Quote:
