An automated teller machine (ATM) comprises a safe enclosure in which ATM modules which require a relatively higher security level are housed. The ATM further comprises a first standard enclosure housing attached to a first side of the ATM, and in which ATM modules which require a relatively lower security level are housed. The ATM also comprises a support plate secured to bottom of the safe enclosure and to bottom of the first standard enclosure housing to structurally support both the safe enclosure and the first standard enclosure housing as a unit when the ATM is lifted and thereby to allow the ATM to be lifted without applying force to the first standard enclosure housing and thereby to prevent damage to the first standard enclosure housing.
