The chiller will be secured and stored inside the trailer when the test stand is transported and redeployed to other locations. The chiller would be disconnected from electrical power and from the test stand, forklifted into the trailer, and secured to the trailer floor by bolting the chiller's skids to the floor using tie downs.
