Claim:
1. An air handling unit, comprising: a first modular cabinet comprising a first profile; and a second modular cabinet comprising a second profile that is complementary to the first profile; wherein the first profile comprises a first sloped surface disposed between a first inner wall of the first modular cabinet and a first outer wall of the first modular cabinet; wherein the second profile comprises a second sloped surface disposed between a second inner wall of the second modular cabinet and a second outer wall of the second modular cabinet; wherein the first sloped surface is fixed with respect to the first inner wall and the first outer wall and is oriented at a first sloped angle with respect to the first inner wall; wherein the second sloped surface is fixed with respect to the second inner wall and the second outer wall and is oriented at a second sloped angle with respect to the second outer wall; wherein the first sloped angle is substantially similar to the second sloped angle; wherein the first profile and the second profile are configured to allow at least one of (1) a forward-backward misalignment and (2) a right-left misalignment of the first modular cabinet relative to the second modular cabinet when the first profile and the second profile at least partially longitudinally overlap; and wherein when the first profile at least partially overlaps the second profile in response to moving the first modular cabinet longitudinally towards the second modular cabinet, the second sloped surface is configured to interact with the first sloped surface by contacting the first sloped surface to properly align the first modular cabinet with the second modular cabinet such that the first sloped surface mates with the second sloped surface when the first modular cabinet and the second modular cabinet are properly aligned.
