You ought to ask the architect and structural engineer and probably have the mounting approved by them, maybe even need a stamped drawing depending on local rules. As for damage to the transformer.... if it falls, that'll damage it.

ETA- don't forget a proper-sized lift to get the transformer in place while you attach the hangers, this is not something to be cheap about.

I will modify zbang by saying You NEED to get a directive in writing that the structure will support it. Not optional t cover your butt.

Floor mounted simply means it cannot be wall mounted.

If you build a suitable floor structure12' in the air, the transformer won't know the difference. It is up to the customer to provide guidance on the structural portions of their request.
I certainly wouldn't be doing this as a DIY install.
