1. A modular frame assembly comprising:
a first modular frame coupled to a second modular frame with a locating pin assembly sandwiched between the first modular frame and the second modular frame, the first modular frame having a first-modular-frame-first-hollow-tubular-member and a first-modular-frame-first-beam coupled at a first end of the first-modular-frame-first-hollow-tubular-member, and the second modular frame having a second-modular-frame-first-hollow-tubular-member and a second-modular-frame-first-beam coupled at a first end of the second-modular-frame-first-hollow-tubular-member, wherein the locating pin assembly comprises:
a first gusset plate positioned between the first modular frame and the second modular frame, the first gusset plate in contact with the first-modular-frame-first-beam on a first face of the first gusset plate and the second-modular-frame-first-beam on a second face of the first gusset plate, the first gusset plate having a first gusset plate aperture and a second gusset plate aperture, the first gusset plate aperture configured to receive a first fastening means engaging a first-modular-frame-first-beam-first-aperture coupling the first-modular-frame-first-beam to the first gusset plate, and the second gusset plate aperture configured to receive a second fastening means engaging a second-modular-frame-first-beam-first-aperture coupling the second-modular-frame-first-beam to the first gusset plate; and
a pin engaging the first gusset plate, the first modular frame and the second modular frame, the pin having a flat quadrilateral plate section coupled to an inverted V-shaped section, the inverted V-shaped section coupled to a first end of the flat quadrilateral plate section, the flat quadrilateral plate section engaging the end of the second-modular-frame-first-hollow-tubular-member, and the inverted V-shaped section engaging the end of the first-modular-frame-first-hollow-tubular-member.
