This application provides elastomeric shock absorbers for turbine transportation. Example engine mounts may include a first plate, a second plate, and an elastomeric bearing positioned between the first plate and the second plate. The engine mount may be configured to absorb or dampen vibration along an X-axis, a Y-axis, and a Z-axis of a turbine during transportation.

A motor mount and fan sheave assembly is provided comprising two main structural supports, with a motor mount attached to the two main structural supports such that the motor mount can slide along the two main structural supports. A motor is affixed to the motor mount, and a fan sheave affixed to the two main structural supports. A motor sheave extends from the motor, and a belt spans between the motor sheave and the fan sheave. A threaded rod passes through a receiving opening in the motor mount, such that wherein upon movement of the adjusting rod, the motor mount slides along the two main structural supports.

A support assembly supports a gas turbine in a manufacturing configuration, a shipping configuration and an operating configuration. The support assembly includes a stand leg securable to a base, where the stand leg includes a turbine casing interface with a slot sized to receive a turbine casing pin. A support plate attachable to the turbine casing interface includes a pin aperture that is sized to fit over the turbine casing pin in the slot.

The present invention provides support frames for positive pressure blowers having one or more wheels mounted at a lower corner of the frame, wherein the wheels are mounted to roll in a direction that is perpendicular to the flow of air through the blower. This sideways orientation of the wheels allows a frame carrying a blower to be easily moved from side to side, such as when placed into or removed from a side compartment on an emergency vehicle, and allows such a frame carrying a blower to be easily tilted, turned and rolled around at the scene of a fire in much the same manner as a wheelbarrow. Embodiments of the invention may include an upper handle or grip which allows a user to control the frames by tilting and rolling them around on the wheels. Embodiments of the invention may include a support bracket for holding a battery or other power supply.

A mounting system includes a rotatable machine, a frame circumscribing the rotatable machine, and a plurality of mounting elements. Each mounting element of the plurality of mounting elements includes a pin member and a joint member. The joint member includes a rotatable joint capable of three degrees of freedom of rotation, and the joint member is slidably coupled to the pin member, such that each mounting element is capable of four degrees of freedom of motion. The plurality of mounting elements are further coupled between the frame and the rotatable machine and spaced circumferentially about the rotatable machine, such that the rotatable machine is able to expand and contract radially within the frame. The mounting system provides a uniform stiffness in any radial direction from the engine centerline within the lateral-vertical engine plane.

A mounting system for supporting rotary machinery on a supporting structure of an off-shore installation, the system including a base frame provided with an upper side, for mounting the rotary machinery and a lower side, a set of at least four supporting members arranged at the lower side of the base frame and adapted to be placed on the supporting structure to act as an intermediate layer or frame between the base frame and the supporting structure in mounting condition. The supporting members include resilient elements generating a reaction force when subject to load and are configured to transfer to the base frame stresses and/or strains lower than allowable limits also in case of deformation of the supporting structures; the base frame has stiffness such as to guarantee design acceptance criteria for example for rotary machinery alignment, terminal points or interface point displacement, dynamic behavior or like parameters.
