1. A modular frame system for supporting a plurality of vessels, comprising:
a plurality of frame cells, each frame cell comprising:
two lengthwise arms each comprising a proximal end and a distal end, each further comprising a top surface, a bottom surface and an outer side surface, wherein the top surface, bottom surface and outer side surface of each lengthwise arm forms a cavity within the lengthwise arm;two or more support beams releasably attached to each of the lengthwise arms, wherein the support beams are substantially the same length such as to dispose the two lengthwise arms in a parallel configuration, wherein the two lengthwise arms and two of the support beams, when attached, form a base of the frame cell; andfour upright support columns each having a hollow interior, wherein each upright support column comprises a vertical column attached to and rising from a separate corner of the base of the frame cell, an arm at the top end of the vertical column extending horizontally at a right angle inwardly toward the opposite lengthwise arm to which the upright support column is attached and a vertical riser extending vertically from the end of each arm, wherein the four support columns, the two lengthwise arms and the two or more support beams form a cavity in which a vessel can be placed, wherein one or more of the support beams comprises a saddle disposed substantially in the center of the support beam, wherein the saddle is configured to cradle the vessel, wherein a plurality of frame cells are attached to form a modular frame system for supporting a plurality of vessels. |
