When to Step Up From a 6-Body to a Walk-In

• 8×10 walk-in — entry-level walk-in, compact footprint for satellite facilities
• 10×10 walk-in — top seller, 12-body capacity with 3 four-tier racks, most affordable walk-in
• 10×12 walk-in — mid-range for hospital morgues and county ME offices
• 10×16 walk-in — high-capacity for regional and state-level facilities
• 10×20 walk-in — maximum capacity, mass casualty preparedness
