Abstract:
A single transportable oversized or extended support base is provided for a conventional equipment shelter and the associated power source. The shelter and power source are separately affixed to the base while at the place of manufacturing to form a transportable unitary shelter facility that is easily and efficiently installed at the use site. Such combination avoids the additional labor and expense associated with installing equipment such as a generator in a separate room within the building because it eliminates the need for the extra door, and larger wall, roof, and floor panels, ventilation systems, environmental controls and related items. The shelter facility and methods of the present invention also avoid the logistical problems associated with on-site external installation of auxiliary equipment because installation of the facility reduces the need to coordinate the activities of different people at a remote site and provides greater assurance to the manufacturer and the user that the installation has been done correctly and that everything will work as it should upon startup at the use site.
