7,200 sq ft · Engineered Kit · Fabricated in Sonora, Mexico
The 60×120 steel building kit is the entry point for real light-manufacturing space: 7,200 sq ft with a 60 ft clear span means a full production line, a forklift loop and a 20 ft eave for mezzanine offices — without a single interior column. It is a frequent size for Sonora maquiladora suppliers as well as for US owners who buy the kit and erect it stateside.

Weights and truckloads are planning figures for a conventional pre-engineered building; the quote is engineered to your site's wind, snow and seismic loads and your opening layout.
A 60 ft clear span is where rigid-frame tonnage starts climbing; if columns at 30 ft on-center are acceptable, a modular (multi-span) frame cuts steel weight meaningfully. We quote both when you ask.
For an overhead crane up to 5 t, request crane-ready frames now — the runway brackets and heavier columns are far cheaper in the original design than as a retrofit.
Two truckloads are typical; frames ship first so your erector can stand columns while panels are still in transit.
Clear-span rigid frame (60 ft) — no interior columns. Shop-welded, primed, match-marked by erection sequence.
Z/C purlins and girts, bracing, framed openings, roof and wall sheeting, trim and fasteners.
Erection drawings, anchor-bolt plan and the calculation package for your engineer of record to stamp.
FCA plant, delivered at the Nogales border, or DDP to your site. A 60×120 is 1 to 2 flatbeds.
