The ULS axial tension force at the base plate is Nt* = 144.5 kN.
The head frame leg section is 150UC37.2, with respective section depth of 162 mm.
The base plate geometry is (depth x width x thick) 350 x 180 x 20 mm.
The anchor bolts pitch is 250 mm.
The flexible length in flexure of the base plate is 0.5 x (250 - 162) = 44 mm.
The associated bending moment in the base plate assuming reverse curvature is M*=
(144.5/2) x 44/2 = 1590 kNmm.
The base plate moment capacity is Mbp = 0.9 x 300 x 88 x 20^2 / 4 / 1000 = 2376
kNmm.
The utilisation ratio is UR = 1590/2376 = 0.67 < 1.0 OK.

The head stock section is 400WC181, with flange width of 400 mm, flange & web
thickness of 20 mm.
As there is a stiffener present, two way bending action occurs.
The flexible length in flexure of the head stock flange transverse direction is 125 - 0.5
x 20 = 115 mm.
The critical bending occurs in the beam headstock direction. The proportion of the
load to be supported in the flange/stiffener intersection is 1- (44 /115) = 0.62.
The associated bending moment in the flange is M*=0.62 x (144.5/2) x 44 = 1971
kNmm.
As the flange and base plate have the same thickness Mflg = 2376 kNmm.
The utilisation ratio is UR = 1971 / 2376 = 0.83 < 1.00 OK.

Therefore the standard base plate & head stock beam flange are OK.
