Question:

Need a piece of Aluminium L shape angle strong enough to mount something ontop of it weighing 60 kg.!?

Basically I have a 60 kg object with a width length of 2 meters, 900mm high, and about 150mm widthbasically a big square rectangular boxThis needs to be mounted on the wall, so what I was thinking is the best way of going about it, is using an L shape Aluminium angleI'm thinking of using the longest side of the L shape bend to mount on the wall itself, by drilling some holes through it, and dynabolting it to the masonry wallThen basically all I would do is sit the box on top of this angle, and using just a few more dynabolts to keep the object upright against the wall in each cornerOptions of aluminium thickness for the L Shape are 3mm(6060 T5, NOM MASS VALUE: 9.054) or 6mm(6061 T6 NOM MAS VALUE: 16.482)Is this the best way to mount this object, and also which one of these angles is strong enough to hold the object without the channel bending or deforming, downwards.

Answer:

With spark arrestors ;)
They don'tIt's up to the local jurisdiction to deal with such thingsThen the local jurisdiction can bill the railroad for these services.
Been involved with a couple myselfThere are water carsVery simply, tank cars equipped with pumps and hoses which can be connected to each other to form a common tankRarely used but positioned and ready in heavily forested areas.
Around here the railraods scrape a firebreak every summer that is kept free of vegetation along both sides of the track, this keeps the fires from spreading very fastAll track maintenance crews carry basic firefighting equipment in their trucks during the fire season but they dont hesitate to call the local fire departments if they feel there is any chance of it getting too big and spreadingRailroad crews manage to stop most right of way fires before they spread, it is quite seldom that fire departments have to be called, but it does happen.
I don't think that thin of a piece of aluminum will cut itYou need a stronger material if you need something that thin.
