Bariatric & Oversized Mortuary Equipment ⁽¹⁴⁾

Bariatric & Oversized Mortuary Equipment

American Mortuary Equipment builds the full bariatric case workflow in Johnson City, Tennessee: removal, refrigerated storage, preparation, and post-mortem transport, all engineered for oversized cases from the start rather than adapted after the fact. That means reinforced frames, widened decks and cabinets, and working loads rated for the work — the 1000E bariatric cot at a 1,000-lb working load, the oversized hydraulic embalming table at 850 lb on a 35-inch surface, extra-wide upright and roll-in coolers in 2-, 3-, and 4-body capacities, and the bariatric autopsy trolley for examination and transport.

Funeral homes, county morgues, and hospital facilities outfit the entire bariatric chain factory-direct — one purchase order, one freight coordination, one Tennessee warranty contact.

The Bariatric Workflow, End to End

— First call & removal — the 1000E bariatric mortuary cot carries a 1,000-lb working load on a single-operator first-call cot, with oversized mattress pads to match.
— Refrigerated storage — extra-wide upright, roll-in, and side-load mortuary coolers in 2-, 3-, and 4-body capacities, plus an oversized mortuary freezer for long-term holds and a shell-only extra-wide cabinet for central-plant integration.
— Preparation — the oversized hydraulic embalming table runs an 850-lb working capacity on a 35-inch-wide stainless surface, single or in a two-table bundle for parallel case stations.
— Examination & transport — the bariatric autopsy trolley pairs a reinforced 304 stainless frame with a widened deck, and works alongside our full autopsy trolley and transport cart line.

Why Purpose-Built Beats Adapted

Standard-width equipment run past its rating is where staff injuries and equipment failures start. Purpose-built bariatric equipment moves the margin where it belongs: frames sized for the load, decks sized for the case, cooler openings sized for the cot that has to roll through them. Because the cot, cooler, table, and trolley come off the same Tennessee floor, the dimensions are coordinated — what rolls out of the van fits through the cooler door.

Construction Standards

Stainless equipment in this collection is fabricated from 304 stainless steel with continuous welds; coolers carry insulated extra-wide cabinets built for round-the-clock duty. Casters, lifts, and hydraulics are specified against the rated load, not the average one. Every unit ships from our Johnson City facility with nationwide freight.

The 1000E bariatric mortuary cot is rated for a 1,000-lb working load as a single-operator first-call cot. Full specifications are on its product page.

Do you build extra-wide mortuary coolers?

Yes — extra-wide uprights in 2-, 3-, and 4-body capacities, a roll-in extra-wide model, a side-load configuration, an oversized freezer for long-term storage, and a shell-only cabinet for facilities integrating their own refrigeration.

Is there a bariatric option for the prep room?

The oversized hydraulic embalming table carries an 850-lb working capacity on a 35-inch-wide stainless surface, with foot-pump height adjustment. A two-table bundle covers parallel case stations.
