Geometry Problem for Loading a Machine into a container

[arbutus1322]

Hi,
I'm having trouble figuring out the amount of clearance space needed for a container we are manufacturing. We are trying to build it to be able to load our 102" loader into the back of it. Current specs are 105" opening (between bottom of container and bottom of top cross bar). The container floor is 14" off the ground (so there is a tilt and added height when front tires of loader are in container and back tires are still on ground). So do I just add 14" to the height of the 102" loader to allow for the height of the loader when tilted up, or is there another way to figure out the clearance. The problem is I cannot add that much height to the container without being above road height limitations. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Sounds like if you make a container with removable top - your problem will be diminished.
