Claim 9:
10. An electronics rack transportation container comprising:
a frame having a vertical orientation configured for supporting an electronics rack, the frame having an upper mechanical fastener for securing an upper portion of the electronics rack, a lower mechanical fastener for securing a lower portion of the electronics rack;
a left side clamp for providing a first lateral force between a left side of the frame and a left side of the electronics rack at a first point on the first side of the electronics rack between the upper portion of the electronics rack and the lower portion of the electronics rack, wherein the left side clamp is adjustable in a direction orthogonal to the first side of the electronics rack and wherein the first pressure is applied orthogonally to the first side of the electronics rack at the first point;
a right side clamp for providing a second lateral force between a right side of the frame and a right side of the electronics rack at a second point on the second side of the electronics rack between the upper portion of the electronics rack and the lower portion of the electronics rack, and wherein the second pressure is applied orthogonally to the first side of the electronics rack at the first point;
a front cover configured to be affixed to a front side of the frame;
a back cover configured to be affixed to a back side of the frame such that the back cover and the front cover enclose the electronics rack when the front cover is affixed to the front side of the frame and the back cover is affixed to the back side of the frame and wherein the front cover and the back cover are removable to allow access to the electronics rack from a back side of the electronics rack transportation container and a front side of the electronics rack transportation container and to allow removal of the electronics rack from the electronics rack transportation container;
a horizontal base for supporting the frame, the base including a mechanical interface for a material handling device, at least one castor and at least one floor lock.
