Maximum Capacity in a Restricted Footprint — Fully Custom

The AMC-10B-2D 10-Body Upright High-Density Mortuary Cooler is built for high-volume municipalities, medical examiners, coroners, funeral home groups, disaster response teams, forensic facilities, hospitals, and large-scale death care operations that need maximum refrigerated body storage in a restricted footprint. It uses an ultra-high-density vertical configuration to store ten remains within a compact two-door horizontal span — two oversized 31.5-inch openings and two independent high-capacity bays for organized access to standard and larger cases while preserving valuable floor space.

This unit is fully customizable and is pictured in one of our most popular configurations: an approximate 8×10 high-density upright layout. Final dimensions, refrigeration package, door layout, rack configuration, electrical requirements, and installation details may vary based on your facility, project scope, and selected options.

Built for High-Volume Body Storage

The 10-body upright is designed for facilities that need more capacity than a standard 4-body upright but don't want to move immediately into a full-size walk-in mortuary cooler. It's a strong fit for operations that need compact capacity, multiple vertical tiers, high-density organization, and professional refrigeration planning. Comparing system types? Use our Cooler Sizing Guide or contact our team to compare against a walk-in system.

High-Capacity Features

• 10-body vertical storage — reinforced structure supporting high-density vertical storage across ten positions.
• Dual-door high-density access — two independent oversized ~31.5" openings reduce cold-air loss while accessing five vertical tiers per bay.
• Twin 5-tier roller rack systems — two heavy-duty 5-tier multi-directional roller racks for efficient loading, positioning, and high-capacity organization.
• Remote split refrigeration architecture — remote condenser moves heat and noise outside the prep area; professional HVAC and electrical installation required.
• Industrial panel construction — reinforced structure, high-performance insulated panels, closed-cell insulation for professional refrigeration use.
• Oversized bay access — two 31.5" openings support standard and larger cases vs. narrow-door systems.
• Customizable layout — door orientation, panel dimensions, refrigeration package, flooring, lighting, and access requirements reviewed for your project.

Popular Configuration: Approximate 8×10 Layout

This model is pictured in one of our most popular high-density configurations, commonly planned around an approximate 8×10 footprint. Because this is a customizable industrial-scale unit, exact dimensions, ceiling clearance, tier spacing, rack layout, door placement, refrigeration design, and site requirements should be confirmed before order.

Critical Installation & Logistics

This is an industrial-scale mortuary refrigeration system. It requires project planning before purchase — delivery access, ceiling height, door clearance, electrical requirements, refrigeration installation, mechanical access, drain planning, equipment staging, and final assembly review.

• Remote split system — requires a licensed HVAC technician to run refrigeration line sets and a licensed electrician for hard-wired electrical work.
• Professional installation required — this is not a plug-and-play residential-style cooler; installation should be handled by qualified trades familiar with refrigeration, electrical, and facility requirements.
• Delivery requirements — due to panel and rack weight/height, a forklift with extended forks and a loading dock are typically required for offloading.
• Knock-down assembly — ships unassembled to help with entry through facility openings before final assembly and refrigeration startup.
• Customer site responsibility — confirming access, receiving equipment, local code, installer availability, and any site-specific labor or materials not explicitly included in the written quote.

Mortuary Lift & Rack Pairings

Because this unit uses high-density vertical storage, proper lifting and loading workflow is essential. Review mortuary racks, cadaver racks, and lift systems with this cooler during planning. For high-tier loading, the HD 1000 Low-Profile Mortuary Lift is one of the most important companion products — it reduces employee strain, improves body-handling workflow, and supports safer access to multi-tier storage. See the Mortuary Rack Buying Guide and Compliance Strategy before finalizing a high-density purchase.

Optional Enhancements

• Integrated LED lighting — moisture-resistant internal illumination for improved visibility across all ten tiers.
• Reinforced insulated flooring — designed for the point-load and PSI of loaded 5-tier rack systems.
• Custom refrigeration package — options vary by ambient conditions, room layout, and project specs.
• Custom panel sizing — layout adjusted to specific room conditions, access points, and project requirements.
• Delivery & installation coordination — optional project support depending on location, route, and site conditions.
