ABSTRACT:
A structure for supporting a plurality of rows of batteries includes a frame having side rails and cross members releasably supported beneath the vehicle. Aligned pairs of I-type beams are cantilevered from the side rails of the frame. The lower flanges of parallel aligned pairs of beams underlie and support a respective edge of a row of batteries placed therebetween with the top flanges of the beams located below the upper edges of the batteries. The top flanges of the beams are narrower than would be necessary for an equivalent simple beam, thus maximizing the number of batteries containable in the available space.
