ABSTRACT:
A dual use kit of structural members, and method of using the kit to perform different functions during shipment and use of a transport refrigeration unit. Structural members of the kit initially form a shipping crate for a transport refrigeration unit, for protecting the transport refrigeration unit during shipment from a manufacturer to a user. The transport refrigeration unit is mounted on the outer surface of a predetermined trailer wall such that the return air plenum extends into a conditioned space defined by the trailer. Structural members of the shipping crate are convertible by the user to form an air return bulkhead adjacent to an inner surface of the predetermined wall of a trailer, to direct trailer air into the return air plenum of the transport refrigeration unit.
