Front rail weldment

A front rail weldment, comprising:

• a base frame comprising a pair outlooking members that are substantially uninterrupted, each extending from a first end to a second end, the base frame further comprising a cross member extending between the pair of outlooking members;
• a pair of hanger bars each secured to a respective outlooking member of the pair of outlooking members at or near a midpoint of the respective outlooking member and extending upward to a top end;
• a pair of struts extending from a respective first end of the respective outlooking member to the top end of a respective hanger bar of the pair of hanger bars;
• a pair of tieback bars each configured for tying back the top end of the respective hanger bar of the pair of hanger bars;
• and
• a laterally extending support system comprising a laterally extending bar extending from a free end of one of the pair of tieback bars and a strut supporting the laterally extending bar and secured at a bottom end thereof to the respective outlooking member at a laterally extending bracket, the laterally extending bracket comprising a laterally extending portion of a top plate of the respective outlooking member supported by one or more gussets, wherein the laterally extending portion of the top plate is curved downward and the strut is secured to a top surface thereof.
