Integrated forklift receptacle in an HVACR unit and a method of transporting an HVACR unit with an integrated forklift receptacle

A heating, ventilation, air conditioning, and refrigeration unit, comprising:

• a circuit comprising a compressor, a first heat exchanger, a second heat exchanger, and an expander;
• a heat exchanger assembly having a fan and one of the first heat exchanger and the second heat exchanger, the fan being configured to draw air through the heat exchanger assembly for exchanging thermal energy with a working fluid in the circuit;
• a frame having a unit support disposed on a base, the unit support being configured to laterally support the heat exchanger assembly, and the base being configured to vertically support the heat exchanger assembly,
• a forklift receptacle disposed in the HVACR heating, ventilation, air conditioning, and refrigeration unit,
• wherein the base comprises a unit base and a forklift base,
• the unit base is at least partially recessed into the forklift base,
• the unit base comprises two side members connected to two end members and one or more support beams spanned across and attached to the two side members,
• the forklift base comprises two side members connected to two end members, wherein one or more channels is spanned across and attached to the two side members of the forklift base,
• the forklift receptacle is disposed in the forklift base,
• the forklift receptacle comprises the one or more channels,
• wherein one or more cutouts is disposed on a bottom side of the two side members of the unit base, the one or more cutouts is configured to respectively fit over the one or more channels of the forklift receptacle,
• one or more splice plates is disposed respectively over the one or more cutouts, and the forklift receptacle overlaps with a center of mass of the heating, ventilation, air conditioning, and refrigeration unit in a longitudinal direction of the heating, ventilation, air conditioning, and refrigeration unit.
