An apparatus (10) for mounting equipment (12) to a foundation (14) and for isolating the equipment from shock loads and acoustic vibrations comprises an outer retaining member (16) secured to the equipment, an intermediate retaining member (18) secured to the foundation and an inner retaining member (20) secured to the equipment. A first resilient member (22) is secured in position for sliding contact with an inner surface (86) of the outer retaining member during static loading, axial loading causing movement of the foundation and/or equipment toward the other or transverse loading, whereby the first resilient member is loaded predominately in compression. A second resilient member (24) is secured in position for sliding contact with an inner surface (96) of the intermediate retaining member during axial loading causing movement of the foundation and/or equipment away from each other or transverse loading, whereby the second resilient member is loaded predominately in compression.
