Abstract:
1. A mounting system for mounting a bank of storage units in side-by-side relationship above a ground surface, each of said storage units in said bank of storage units including a mounting plate for attachment to said mounting system, said mounting system including: a. an elongate member having a top wall having an elongate dimension between opposed ends and a transverse dimension between opposed elongate side edges, at least one elongate leg section extending downwardly from at least one of said opposed elongate side edges, each of said at least one leg sections including a proximal end contiguous to a respective, elongate side edge of said top wall and a distal end terminating in an elongate flange contiguous to the ground surface, said top wall being adapted to receive a bank of storage units in side-by-side relationship on an upper surface thereof and each of said elongate flanges having an elongate dimension between opposed end edges thereof; b. said top wall including attachment members for cooperating with the mounting plate of each said storage units for attaching the bank of storage units in side-by-side relationship to the top wall; c. each of said elongate flanges including a plurality of leveling adjuster passages for receiving leveling adjusters therethrough and a plurality of anchor passages separate from said leveling adjuster passages for receiving anchoring members therethrough, said plurality of leveling adjuster passages and plurality of anchor passages being spaced along the elongate dimension of each said elongate flanges; d. said plurality of leveling adjuster passages in each of said elongate flanges including leveling adjuster passages located adjacent each elongate end of said flanges for receiving leveling adjusters therethrough for engaging the ground surface to assist in leveling the top wall; e. said plurality of anchor passages being adapted to receive anchoring members insertable into the ground surface for securing the elongate member to said ground surface; f. said elongate flanges extend inwardly in underlying relationship with said top wall, said top wall having a plurality leveling adjuster access passages and a plurality of anchor access passages separate from said leveling adjuster access passages, said plurality of leveling adjuster access passages and said plurality of anchor access passages in said top wall being aligned with a plurality of leveling adjuster passages and anchor passages in said underlying flanges, respectively, to thereby permit actuation of leveling adjusters and anchoring members through the top wall of said elongate member.
