12 Body Triple-Door Mortuary Cooler

The 12 Body Triple-Door Mortuary Cooler is the highest-capacity upright cooler in the AMC line — 12-cadaver holding across three independent compartments behind three doors. Built for regional funeral home consolidations, mid-to-large hospital morgues, county and regional medical examiner offices, crematories with batched holding, and disaster-response staging where walk-in floor area isn’t available.

Where it fits in the upright cooler line

The 12-Body Triple-Door is the top of the upright cooler line. Step down to the 10 Body Dual-Door Upright for the next capacity tier, or the 6 Body Dual-Door for mid-capacity workflow.

When floor area allows a walk-in, the 8×16 walk-in (14-body) and 10×16 walk-in (14-body) offer comparable capacity. Sizing methodology: size guide.

Specifications

Why three doors

Three-door access is the cold-loss control answer to 12-body density. A single-door 12-body cabinet loses the entire compartment to ambient on every retrieval — triple-door isolates each retrieval to a 4-body compartment, which matters at high case-cycle facilities where door open events run 15–30 times per shift.

The independent compartments also allow zone segregation — active case holding in one zone, long-term storage in another, hold-for-pickup in the third.

Refrigeration and engineering

At 12-body capacity the refrigeration load tier strongly favors remote-split Copeland scroll or Heatcraft systems with outdoor condensing units. The custom-built line handles remote-condenser configurations.

ASTM E84 Class A flame spread matters under county morgue requirements and state body-storage code.

Cot compatibility

Cot-direct roll-in for the 500E, PRO 650X, and 1000E Bariatric cots through any of the three compartment doors. For racked load-out, see racks and lifts.
