ABSTRACT:
A unified floor frame assembly has two elongate outer load-supporting beams formed of wooden elongate beam sections that may be selected to have different vertical cross-sectional dimensions and, optionally with two thicknesses united, are butt-spliced to be cambered in parallel vertical planes to counter forces that may tend to cause sagging of the floor frame assembly during transportation. A wheel carrier assembly is detachably mountable thereto with a plurality of wheels partially recessed within the floor frame assembly and a towing hitch assembly is attachable to a forward end of the floor frame assembly for applying a towing force thereat. Wooden I-beams are used as transverse frame members to provide lightweight strength and floor frame widths of the order of 18 ft. to 20 ft. A moisture, dirt, insect and pest excluding thin covering is provided underneath the floor frame assembly, and sections of heating and ventilating ducting, piping, wiring and the like are includable during manufacture of the floor frame assembly. Individual floor frame assemblies may be supported at their permanent location underneath the periphery or, where two such floor frame assemblies are to be coupled to obtain a larger size floor, central elongate beams may be supported by metal posts. Upon delivery of the floor frame assembly to its intended location, the wheel carrier assembly and the towing hitch assembly are both detached and removed therefrom for reuse.
