Abstract
A secure base for a large piece of equipment, such as an electric vehicle charging station, includes a plurality of identical beam members having a generally rectangular-tubular shape, secured in a parallel arrangement to an underside of a baseplate. Each of the beam members includes a pair of opposing elongate openings defined by a bottom wall and sidewalls of the beam member. The beam members may be enclosed by kickplates secureable about a perimeter of the base. The preferred arrangement of the beam members, and the elongate openings therein, allow for receipt of blades of a forklift or pallet jack from all four sides of a piece of equipment mounted on the base.
