A refrigeration unit for a shipping container exposed to end loads and rack loads. The refrigeration unit has a frame, a back panel, a plurality of structural support brackets secured to the back panel, a condenser cover secured to the plurality of structural support brackets so that the condenser cover, the plurality of structural support brackets, the frame, and the back panel form a structural member sufficient to support end loads and rack loads. The refrigeration unit also has a condenser coil having a first end and a second end, a first coil support member secured to one of the structural support brackets and secured around the first end, and a second coil support member secured to one of the structural support brackets and secured around the second end. The first and second coil support members maintain the condenser coil unstressed from the end loads and rack loads.

A clamp (10) for mounting a packaged engine-driven electrical generator, or generator set (70), to a transport trailer (80). The clamp has two major components, a frame member (12) and a clamp member (13), both generally L-shaped. The base (21) of the frame member is securely attached to a frame member (72, 73) of the generator set. The base (31) of the clamp member extends through a fulcrum slot (25) in the frame member. When in the engaged position, a nut (14) and bolt (15) connect the frame member riser and clamp member riser. The clamp engages the flange of an I beam 81, part of the chassis of the trailer, between the base portion of the frame member and the toe (34) of the clamp member. Tightening the nut and bolt causes the clamp to clamp securely to the I beam. An alignment guide (23) assists in correcting minor misalignments as the generator set is raised into position and also prevents inadvertent and premature movement of the clamp from its disengaged to its engaged position during positioning of the generator set. The bolt is oriented horizontally when the clamp is in its engaged position so that it is readily accessible for tightening and loosening using a power tool.
