Abstract
A bracket assembly and a method for securing a cabinet for seismic and transportation conditions using the bracket assembly is disclosed. The bracket assembly includes a plurality of brackets configured to be positioned at each corner of the cabinet. Each bracket includes a first side configured to be securely fastened to the pallet or ground using fasteners. Each bracket further includes a second side configured to engage the cabinet. The plurality of brackets absorbs a majority of transportation load, thereby isolating the cabinet from stresses caused by direct attachment to the pallet or the ground.
