A mid-turbine frame (12) connected to at least one mount (16) of a gas turbine engine transfers a first load from a first bearing (18) and a second load from a second bearing (20) to the mount (16). The mid-turbine frame (12) includes a load transfer unit (22), a torque box (24) rotatably positioned within the load transfer unit (22), and a plurality of struts (26). The load transfer unit (22) has a first locking element (36,38) and combines the first load and the second load into a combined load. The torque box (24) has a second locking element (40,42) that is engagable with the first locking element (36,38) of the load transfer unit (22). The plurality of struts (26) are connected between the torque box (24) and the mount (16), and transfer the combined load from the torque box (24) to the mount (16). The first locking element (36,38) and the second locking element (40,42) are at least one of a rib or a groove.
