Explanation:
Variable Section Stiffeners (VSS)
Centurion utilizes an all-new UPRIGHT technology called Variable Section Stiffener (VSS) which works on the principle that the greater the vertical load required,
the larger the stiffener section should be. This means the UPRIGHTS and the section change in thickness from top to bottom. For additional value, our new upright laminating system allows the use of pre-galvanized material and minimizes the use of the splice plates in most connections

Les montants bénéficient du design VSS (Variable Section Stiffnners - montants à section variable) en fonc-tion de leur emplacement sur le mur. Chaque montant couvre 2 feuilles en hauteur et chaque feuille est rigidi-fiée par 2 montants. Les connexions inter-montants sont réalisées par des raccords boulonnés (2).

agree  John Speese: I initially thought uprights too, but if there are sources specifically saying legs, I'd go with that.

... distributed over 75 vertical supports/stanchions


Explanation:
As there are 75 of them, "legs" doesn't seem appropriate unless a centipede metaphor is intended. Also, it seems best to opt for the most general term to accurately reflect the source text without over-translating. Though "stanchions" is a general term for an upright, used in connection with silos, it can be taken to mean an upright for tethering cattle, so "vertical supports" might be better here.
