How many bodies fit in a 10x10 walk-in mortuary cooler?

Standard configuration holds 8 cadavers with one 4-tier side-loading rack against one body wall. Two-row parallel racking lifts density to 12-16 cadavers in the same 100 sq ft footprint.

What temperature does a 10x10 mortuary cooler maintain?

34-40 degrees Fahrenheit body holding standard. Long-term storage applications use lower temperatures; freezer-grade walk-ins are available for anatomy lab and forensic hold cases.

What is the lead time on a 10x10 walk-in mortuary cooler?

5-15 business days for in-stock panel configurations from Johnson City, Tennessee. Custom builds run 4-6 weeks. Ready-to-ship inventory ships within 2 business days.

Does the 10x10 walk-in work for bariatric cot roll-in?

Yes. The slab-mount no-floor configuration accommodates bariatric mortuary cots at 1,000 lb working capacity. For dedicated bariatric storage capacity, AMC manufactures bariatric-rated cooler footprints with wider clearance.

How does the 10x10 compare to MOBI and Mopec walk-ins at the same size?

American Mortuary Coolers manufactures the 10x10 factory-direct in the United States at Johnson City, Tennessee, with faster lead times than MOBI or Mopec equivalents and a published 10-year panel warranty.

The 10×10 walk-in mortuary cooler is the entry footprint in the wide-body walk-in tier — 100 sq ft of insulated cadaver cold storage in a square that drops into most prep rooms without major construction. Engineered for funeral homes scaling out of upright units, hospital morgues, county coroner offices, and crematories that need eight-body holding without committing to a 10×16 or larger.

Refrigeration and panel engineering

The 10×10 ships with a matched-load self-contained refrigeration package as the default. Remote-split builds are quoted when the compressor needs to live outside the prep room.

Compressor selection is workflow-dependent: Copeland scroll for high door-cycle facilities, Heatcraft for tropical-climate ambient (see tropical refrigeration), R-290 hydrocarbon for jurisdictions enforcing aggressive GWP rules.

ASTM E84 Class A flame spread on the interior face matters for installations subject to county morgue requirements or state body-storage code.

Compliance and procurement

The 10×10 is specified to clear standard AHJ review for funeral homes, hospital morgues, county coroner and medical examiner facilities, and university anatomy labs.

Documentation that ships with every quote: spec sheet, electrical schedule, NSF/UL listings, ASTM E84 panel certifications, installation drawings. Request the full equipment catalog or route through the Section 179 procurement page.
