Introduction: Why High-Quality Mortuary Equipment Matters
In the sensitive and professional world of mortuary science, durability, safety, and reliability are non-negotiable. Whether serving a funeral home, hospital, pathology laboratory, medical university, or county morgue, mortuary equipment must perform seamlessly to support staff and uphold dignity for the deceased.
Industry leaders such as Mobi Medical have established strong product lines, but facilities continue to demand customized, heavy-duty stainless steel solutions that meet OSHA standards, improve workflow efficiency, and deliver long-term cost savings. At American Mortuary Coolers, we manufacture a complete range of mortuary equipment including mortuary stretchers, mortuary cots, cadaver coolers, body racks, embalming stations, and grossing tables— engineered for professionals who require the best.
Mortuary Stretchers and First Call Cots
A mortuary stretcher or first call cot is one of the most essential pieces of funeral home equipment. Designed for cadaver removal, hospital transfers, and emergency response, stretchers must be lightweight, durable, and reliable.
Key Features of Professional Mortuary Stretchers:
-
Aluminum or stainless steel frames
-
Folding design for compact storage in first-call vehicles
-
Locking casters for secure mobility
-
Safety straps to secure remains
-
Adjustable height for easy loading into vans or onto racks
Competitor brands like Mobi Medical highlight their lightweight cots, but American Mortuary Coolers provides reinforced heavy-duty stretchers for oversized cadavers, with options supporting up to 1000 lbs. Our powered stretcher stretcher models further reduce operator fatigue with battery-assisted lift systems.
Mortuary Cots vs. Hospital Stretchers
While hospital stretchers are designed for live patient care, mortuary cots focus on discreet, dignified body transport. Many funeral homes prefer covered stretchers with antimicrobial vinyl covers to maintain professionalism during removals.
Our line of AME Pro Series stretchers rivals the best in the market, including Mobi Medical’s cots, by combining ergonomic handling, durable frames, and competitive pricing.
Cadaver Coolers and Mortuary Storage Solutions
Mortuary facilities require reliable cadaver coolers to maintain remains under proper conditions. American Mortuary Coolers manufactures a wide range of models:
-
2 Body Roll-In Coolers (Model 2000-2BX-C)
-
3 Body Upright Coolers (Model 2000-3BX-C)
-
4 Body Mortuary Coolers – 2 Door Upright (Model 2000-4B2D)
-
Extra Wide and Oversized Coolers for bariatric cadavers
-
10x12 Walk-In Coolers (Model 2000-1012)
-
Vault-Style Multi-Bay Coolers (Model 1070-3MB6)
Each cooler is stainless steel lined, insulated, and designed for long-term durability. Compared to competitors like Mobi Medical, we emphasize custom sizing, energy efficiency, and modular installation to suit facilities of every size.
Body Storage Racks and Cadaver Shelving Systems
To maximize cooler capacity, body storage racks are essential. Our racks range from 2-body mobile roll-in racks to 6-bay vault systems.
Standard Features:
-
304 stainless steel tubing construction
-
Roller-bearing slides for smooth tray movement
-
Adjustable shelf spacing for different cadaver sizes
-
Mobile options with casters or fixed welded units
-
OSHA and CDC compliant finishes
While Mobi Medical racks offer affordable options, American Mortuary Coolers leads in oversized racks for obese cadavers and custom-engineered multi-bay systems that scale with facility demand.
Pathology Grossing Stations and Embalming Tables
For hospitals, universities, and forensic labs, a grossing station is vital for specimen dissection. Our Stainless Steel Embalming Station with Water Control (Model 1036-9WCU) includes:
-
Integrated sink with hot/cold mixing valves
-
Hands-free water controls
-
Ventilation (downdraft or backdraft)
-
LED overhead lighting
-
Lockable cabinets and tool drawers
Embalming tables are also available with drainage systems, adjustable tilt, and perforated work surfaces. Unlike lighter competitor models, our industrial-grade stations are built for decades of use in high-volume labs.
Mortuary Lifts and Body Handling Equipment
Safe cadaver handling is critical. Our Covered Cadaver Lift (Model 1030-CTL-C) supports efficient, discreet movement of remains with hydraulic lift capability. These units prevent staff injuries and streamline loading into coolers or onto racks.
Competitors like Mobi Medical provide similar lifts, but our covered units ensure privacy, OSHA compliance, and heavy-duty weight capacity.
Compliance, Safety, and Ergonomics
Every product in our line meets or exceeds OSHA, CDC, and CAP standards. From formalin ventilation in grossing stations to safety straps on mortuary stretchers, our equipment is designed with operator safety and facility compliance in mind.
Packaging and Shipping Options
-
Knock-Down Designs (flat-packed for freight savings)
-
Pre-Assembled Shipping (ready to install upon arrival)
-
Palletized or Crated with protective foam
-
Installation Support (manuals, videos, or on-site setup)
