Is there some solution for calculating minimum and maximum width for overlay of two polygon strips? When I clip these strips the result is another strip with variable width about 1 km and 20 km long. How can I get minimum and maximum width for the clipped strip in shorter axis? I try script from Calculating Polygon Width in ArcGIS Desktop? but it doesn´t suite with this issue. Is there some solution for ArcGIS 10.1? example: clipped strip with red line for minimum width, blue for maximum Or is it some solution solving the problem straightway without clipping inputs?

Supposidely this utility through QGIS can calculate MIN and MAX width for a polygon:

Azimuth-Width

It is designed to compute (for now) maximum or minimum width of the given polygon(s) in the given direction.

If I understand what it is you're trying to do, you may want to try calculating minimum bounding geometry (by width) to give you the min polygon width:
