Definitions

• the present disclosure generally refers to a machine base frame constructed to be provided with one ore more outrigger assemblies.
• the present disclosure also refers to a method of manufacturing a frame assembly.
• Fig. 3 is a schematic illustration of an exemplary embodiment of an outrigger assembly suitable for the frame assembly of Fig. 1 ;
• Fig 4c. is a schematic illustration of the first outrigger assembly of Fig. 4a connected to the base frame of Fig. 2;
• Fig. 5a is a schematic illustrations of an embodiment of a second outrigger assembly arrangement using the outrigger assembly of Fig. 3;
• Fig. 5b is a schematic illustration of a set of rips suitable for the second outrigger assembly arrangement of Fig. 5 a;
• the wheel axles (not shown) attached perpendicular to a driving direction V may be attached to the base frame 14, wherein the dimensions of the wheel axles (not shown) may have unequal dimensions, e.g. the rear axle may be fixedly attached to the base frame 14, wherein the front axle may be pivotally attached to the base frame 14.
• first flanges 32 and/or two second flanges 34 are shown, but an outrigger assembly 24 and a corresponding set of rips 29, 30 may be adapted to form any suitable number of first or second flanges 32, 34.
• the first and second flanges 32, 34 may be generally channel shaped such as for example generally U, V, W, or rectangular shapes so as to correspond to a shape of the base frame 14.
• the first end flanges 32 have a smaller cross-sectional diameter than the second end flanges 34.
• an outrigger assembly 24 is provided with a set of rips 29 for the outrigger assembly 24 to be mounted onto the first end 20.
• the first end 20 is in this embodiment relatively narrow, and the base frame 14 may be designed such that at least one of the external side plates 15 and 17 terminates near or at the portions of the base frame 14 that engage a first end flange 32.
• a frame assembly may comprise a base frame with a first end and a second end, said first end and said second end having unequal cross-sectional diameters, at least one outrigger assembly connectable to each of said first end and said second end, a set of rips for connecting to the at least one outrigger assembly, wherein the set of rips and the outrigger assembly together form multiple flanges that correspond to the cross-sectional diameter of either said first end or said second end.
• At least one set of rips is adapted to be connected to its corresponding outrigger assembly via welding.
• base frame may comprise an internal brace extending obliquely towards one of the first and second ends of the base frame, such that an end of the brace substantially aligns with one of the multiple flanges.
• the base frame may comprise two internal braces each extending obliquely towards one of the first and second ends, wherein the spacing of the two internal braces at, or adjacent to, at least one of the first and second ends of the base frame generally corresponds to a spacing between the multiple flanges, such that an end of one of - l i
• a method of manufacturing a frame assembly may comprise providing a base frame having first and second ends, said first end and said second end having unequal cross- sectional diameters, providing an outrigger assembly compatible with each of said first and second ends, selecting a set of rips from a group of rips, the selected set of rips corresponding to either said first end or said second end, connecting the base frame, the outrigger assembly and the set of rips so as to form the frame assembly.
• connecting the base frame, the outrigger assembly and the set of rips may include welding the set of rips to the outrigger assembly before the outrigger assembly is welded onto the base frame.
