Vault Style Mortuary Coolers

Vault style mortuary coolers with individual doors and slide-out stainless trays: 2 to 15 body multi-bay morgue coolers for hospitals and medical examiners.

Vault Style Mortuary Coolers

A vault style mortuary cooler gives each body its own door and slide-out tray. Opening one bay leaves the others closed, which keeps temperature steady and keeps each case separate. Hospitals, pathology departments and medical examiner offices use this format most.

Why choose this style

  • Individual door for each body
  • Slide-out stainless trays
  • Less temperature loss when one door opens
  • Clear case separation and identification
  • Configurations from 2 to 15 bodies
  • Fits pathology and autopsy suites

Racks, trays and lifts for your cooler

Storage capacity is set by the rack and tray system inside the cooler, and safe handling depends on the lift that serves it. These are the rack, tray and lift models buyers pair with our coolers most often. See the full mortuary lifts, racking systems and storage trays collection for every size and configuration.
