Clear-span :
- Clear span frames are recommended for buildings where unobstructed interior space is required.
- Common uses include aircraft hangars, arenas, tennis centres, soccer centres, riding arenas, manufacturing facilities, warehouses, offices, and retail stores.
- Column-free interiors also provide the space required for material handling and crane systems.
Multi-Span:
- Multi-span frames are commonly used for building layouts that permit interior columns. The spacing between columns can be consistent or varied to meet your requirements.
- Large open floor spaces are accommodated by using the minimum number of columns which allows large open space and easy movement of fork lifts, etc.
- These frames are most often used in manufacturing plants, warehouses, truck terminals, and retail stores.
Lean-to :
- Primarily used for expansion or extension of a building, lean-to frames can provide additional space very economically.
- They are commonly used to provide additional office or storage space for a larger building.
- A lean-to frame typically has a single slope profile (no ridge) and straight sidewall columns (it must be supported by attachment to another frame).
