  6 055 x 2 435 x 2 590 mm

  A braced container frame built from hollow section posts and rails, split into three bays by cross frames, with diagonal bracing in the two outer bays and a flat plate floor. Corner castings sit at all eight corners, with ladder-style rung brackets running up two posts. It measures about 6.1 by 2.4 m and stands about 2.6 m high. In this hall a part like this is tack welded on a fixture and welded out, then blasted and painted before shipping.

Here a part like this is laser cut from plate up to 20 mm, bent on the 400 t press brake and tacked up on a fixture and welded through.

• Box body substructure, 7.4 m

  Overall size, L x W x H

  7 400 x 1 258 x 140 mm

  A box body substructure is a ladder subframe of two long rails joined by evenly spaced cross members, with a stepped rear cross beam and mounting lugs along both sides. The narrowed rear end and the regular row of cross braces stand out against the otherwise open, flat rails. It measures about 7.4 m long and 1.3 m wide. In this hall a part like this is tacked up on a fixture and welded through, with every bore and pad cut after welding.
