Body Removal Stretcher Types

Every removal scenario is different. AMC builds stretchers for all of them:

Standard Body Removal Cots — 500–600 lb
The backbone of daily funeral home operations. Multi-level height adjustment, auto-locking legs, locking swivel wheels, and one-person loading. The AME PRO 1000-500E Standard Mortuary Cot is our most popular first call model — built tough, priced right, ships fast.

Bariatric Body Removal Stretchers — up to 1,000 lb
As bariatric cases increase nationwide, facilities need stretchers built for the load — not adapted from standard frames. Our Ultra 1000 Oversized Mortuary Cot features welded steel construction, a widened platform, 6" heavy-duty swivel wheels, and 1,000 lb capacity. One-year warranty. Ships ready to work.

Powered & Hydraulic Body Removal Stretchers
Battery-powered lift systems take the strain out of repeated removals and protect operators from back injury. The Pro Elite Powered Mortuary Stretcher — Model PMC1 delivers 600 lb capacity with dual-hand controls and dual 20V lithium batteries — enough power for a full day of removals on a single charge.

Folding & Compact Removal Stretchers
Built for tight spaces, narrow stairwells, and small removal vehicles. Our Easy-Fold Plain Mortuary Stretcher folds flat in seconds, stores cleanly in any van, and deploys instantly on scene — no tools, no setup time.

AMC vs. Mobi Medical — Why Funeral Directors Are Switching

Mobi Medical (medical-stretchers.com) distributes imported equipment. AMC manufactures. That difference matters when something goes wrong — you deal directly with the people who built your stretcher, not a distributor routing you back to an overseas factory. Every AMC body removal stretcher includes a full manufacturer's warranty on parts and labor, OSHA-compliant construction, and factory-direct pricing that eliminates middleman markup.

Five specs that matter most in a body removal stretcher:

• Weight capacity — rated capacity, not test load. Know the difference.
• Auto-locking legs — critical for single-operator safety during van loading
• Wheel size — 6" swivel wheels navigate real-world floors; 4" bind on thresholds
• Frame material — aluminum is lighter for portability; steel is stronger for bariatric
• Warranty coverage — parts only vs. full parts + labor. Always ask.

Frequently Asked Questions — Body Removal Stretchers

What is a body removal stretcher?

A body removal stretcher — also called a first call cot, mortuary cot, or funeral stretcher — is a wheeled transport device built specifically for moving deceased individuals from the place of death to a funeral home, crematory, or morgue. Unlike hospital gurneys, body removal stretchers are engineered for one-person operation, discreet transport, and the specific load requirements of funeral service. See our full reference: Stretcher Guide — Funeral, EMS & Medical.

What weight capacity do body removal stretchers come in?

AMC body removal stretchers range from 350 lb folding models up to 1,000 lb bariatric cots. Standard first call cots handle 500–600 lb, covering the majority of removals. Our Ultra 1000 handles the heaviest cases. We recommend every fleet include at least one 1,000 lb rated cot.

Can one person operate a body removal stretcher?

Yes — every AMC body removal stretcher is designed for single-operator use. Legs auto-deploy and lock during van loading, loading tracks guide the cot into the vehicle, and powered models give one operator full height control via dual-hand controls.

What is the difference between a body removal stretcher and a hospital gurney?

Hospital gurneys are designed for living patients — comfort padding, IV poles, side rails. Body removal stretchers are built for funeral service workflows — higher weight capacities, auto-locking legs for van loading, sanitizable non-porous surfaces, concealment covers, and one-person operation. The two are not interchangeable in professional settings.

Do you offer financing on body removal stretchers?

Yes. AMC offers flexible financing for qualifying funeral homes, hospitals, coroner offices, and government facilities. Visit our financing page or call 1-888-792-9315 to pre-qualify.

Do you ship body removal stretchers nationwide?

Yes. AMC ships to all 50 states. Most in-stock models ship within 2–5 business days. Call 1-888-792-9315 for expedited shipping options.
