Abstract
A modular skid frame for supporting cement pumping equipment includes three interlockable sections which, when assembled, define two longitudinal support members and a plurality of transverse support members. One end of the skid formed by one of the interlockable sections is adapted to break down into two lateral subsections. A sleeve-like interfit is provided between joined members and bolt and bracket means are provided to disengageably secure adjacent endwise aligned support members together. The pumping equipment is arranged to maximize maintainability and transportability by positioning one engine on each lateral subsection at one end of the skid and having one pump on each of the other two interlockable sections. A displacement tank is supported on the skid above the pumps. The skid and equipment can be particularly adapted to operate with numerous kinds of off-skid mixing equipment.
