Abstract
A molded plastic body includes four sections having inter frame members bolted together adjacent the periphery. A channel cap extends from a center hub over abutting body section edges and through a downwardly extending fin and is connected to the inter frame members. Each of the body sections includes a railing extending from the top of the hub outwardly and then downwardly into two peripherally spaced apart leg portions connected to the floor of the body section. The connections of the inter frame members are in recesses formed in the body sections allowing access by tools for assembly purposes.
