Abstract

A platform for supporting a motor-pump combination is molded as a unitary structure and includes a primary support and a detachable secondary support. The primary support includes a supporting surface formed at a first radius, and the secondary support includes a supporting surface formed at a second radius and a cavity adapted to receive the primary support. The platform, which retains the cost advantages attendant to one-step molded structures, may be readily converted from a platform for supporting a motor having a first radius to a platform for supporting a motor having a second radius by detaching the secondary support from the platform and mounting it over the primary support.
