Abstract
Stacking distribution transformers for shipping and storage includes providing a first pallet on top of which a first distribution transformer is attached and a second pallet on top of which a second distribution transformer is attached. Two side supports are attached to opposite sides of the second distribution transformer such that upper support surfaces of the two side supports extend above an upper surface of the second distribution transformer. The first pallet is placed on the side supports above the second distribution transformer, and the first pallet is secured to the side supports. A center support may be attached to the first pallet and to the second pallet on a side of the second distribution transformer different from the sides of the second distribution transformer to which the side supports support are attached.
