Turn Circle Calculations

Type approved vehicles need to conform to European Turning Circle Regulations. Even if a vehicle is not going for Type approval the turning circle characteristics of a new vehicle design may need to be understood.

Granning can provide vehicle turning circle calculations which can provide vehicle designers with information such as:

• The effect of adding additional axles to vehicle.
• The effect of adding a steering axle to a vehicle.
• How moving the axle bogie forward or back changes the turning circle.
• The effect of different toeing trucks on turning circles.
• The rear outswing of the machine.
