Transport refrigeration apparatus

Transport refrigeration apparatus, comprising:

• a metallic frame,
• said metallic frame including first and second upstanding end portions which define first and second spaced, parallel end planes, an upstanding back portion which defines a vertical back plane which extends between the first and second side planes, and a horizontally oriented portion which defines a horizontal support plane which extends between the side and back planes,
• said metallic frame having first and second spaced end members,
• each of said first and second spaced end members having first and second integral, orthogonally related portions, with the first integral portion defining a rectangular configuration which is part of the upstanding back portion of said metallic frame, and with the second integral portion defining a generally triangular configuration which is part of an end portion of said metallic frame,
• said triangular configuration including a horizontally oriented lower side, a vertically oriented side which joins the first integral portion, and a flanged side which extends between the horizontally and vertically oriented sides,
• said flanged side including a horizontally oriented lower portion which flares upwardly via a smoothly radiused intermediate portion to join an upper portion which slopes towards the vertically oriented side of the triangular configuration.
