Claim 7:
8. A reciprocating pump comprising a power end frame assembly configured to rotatably support a crankshaft to reciprocatingly drive a plurality of plunger assemblies toward and away from an adjacently positioned fluid end, the power end frame assembly configured to be supported on a support surface, the power end frame assembly comprising:
first and second end plate segments and at least one middle plate segment disposed between and spaced apart from the first and second end plate segments, wherein each of the end plate segments and the at least one middle plate segment include a top wall and an opposed bottom wall, wherein the first and second end plate segments and the at least one middle plate segment are each spaced apart and oriented in a longitudinal direction to support the crankshaft to reciprocate the plurality of plunger assemblies in the longitudinal direction at least partially within the adjacently positioned fluid end; and
at least one foot extending from each of the end plate segments and the at least one middle plate segment for supporting the power end frame assembly on the support surface, the at least one foot extending in a direction away from the plurality of plunger assemblies toward the support surface configured to support the power end frame assembly on the support surface.
