ABSTRACT:
A protective bumper assembly for a refrigeration unit of the type adapted to be mounted on the front wall of a trailer. The refrigeration unit includes an outer cover, and a structural framework which includes a pair of vertically extending structural elements located at opposite rear corners of the refrigeration unit adjacent to the front wall of the trailer. The bumper assembly includes two vertically extending structural members, each of which is adapted to be structurally coupled to one of the vertically extending structural elements of the refrigeration unit. A portion of the vertically extending structural member extends above the outer cover of the unit. A pair of horizontally extending structural members also located outside the outer cover of the refrigeration unit are attached to the ends of the vertically extending members at one end thereof and the other ends extend forwardly towards the front of the refrigeration unit. The ends of the horizontally extending structural members, which extend forwardly, terminate at a location forward of the outer cover and spaced from one another. An elongated structural bumper extends substantially horizontally at a location forwardly of the outer cover where it is attached to the other ends of the horizontally extending structural members.
