Abstract
A trailer refrigeration unit has a pivotally mounted engine driven generator unit and a pivotally mounted compressor unit that combine to form a structure that minimizes the spatial 'real estate' occupied by the refrigeration unit. A single common rotatable shaft operates the integrally mounted engine and generator to form a unitary unit. The engine driven generator and compressor units can be pivoted out of the refrigeration unit frame to a fully serviceable position that provides easy access to the rear portions of the engine, generator and compressor units without requiring removal of those units from the refrigeration unit.
