Abstract
A building system in which knock-down buildings are shipped in stacked packages. The skids are standard width for loading on an oil field trailer and cooperating with guides on the trailer. The buildings have a greater width dimension than the skid and outriggers extend outwardly from the skid to support stacking plates between stacked skids at spaced points on each side of the building.
Claims6
A stacked assembly of a plurality of knocked-down buildings, each building comprising;
- a skid having two parallel skid runners spaced apart a standard distance by transverse structural members for cooperating with standard guides for an oil field truck,
- horizontally extending floor, walls and roof stacked on said skid,
- said floor secured to said skid and having a width greater than the spacing of said skid runners,
- at least two structural outriggers having outer ends extending outwardly in a horizontal plane from each skid runner to approximately the perimeter of the floor, and
- a mounting plate secured to the outer end of each outrigger, said mounting plates on said stacked assembly of buildings positioned in vertically aligned groups;
- and
- stacking plates releasably secured to and extending between said vertically aligned mounting plates of vertically spaced skids of said stacked buildings,
- each of said stacking plates has a pair of spaced bars secured to the plate and each of said bars abutts a horizontally extending edge of one of said mounting plates.
