Abstract:

A method for manufacturing a modular starting gate. The modules making up the starting gate include a truss module, a door releasing module, a stall divider module, a front door module, a rear door module, a towing module, and a wheel assembly module. Each module is manufactured to precise tolerances using fixtures or jigs to achieve the desired tolerances. The door releasing module is coupled to the truss module. The truss module is raised mounted to the towing module and the wheel assembly module. A first stall divider module is attached to the truss module and a positioning fixture is used to properly align a second stall divider module relative to the first stall divider module. The second stall divider module is attached to the truss module. The positioning fixture is removed and the front and back gate modules are fastened to the stall divider modules.
