Abstract:
1. A method of assembling a portable compressor assembly with machinery comprising at least a compressor driven by a prime mover, comprising the steps of: mounting the machinery on a sub-frame module comprising a chassis for receiving the machinery and a lifting bail to position a lifting point of the sub frame module above the machinery; raising the sub-frame module by the lifting bail at its lifting point; moving beneath the sub-frame module a containment frame module for supporting, protecting and transporting the machinery mounted on the sub-frame module; dropping the sub-frame module toward the containment frame module; aligning the sub-frame module with the containment frame module; dropping the sub-frame module after alignment to engage the containment frame module; raising over the sub-frame module a canopy module for covering and protecting the machinery mounted on the sub-frame module; and dropping the canopy module to engage the containment frame module.
