Where it fits in the cot line

The 1000E is the bariatric heavy-capacity tier in the AME cot family. Below the 1000E is the PRO 650X Multi-Level Mortuary Cot (600 lb) and the 500E Standard Mortuary Cot (550 lb).

The 1000E is the right unit when first-call bariatric or oversized removal is a recurring case profile — standard 550-lb cots run into operator-safety and frame-stress limits at the 350-lb-plus case range. For walk-in cooler pairing, see the bariatric walk-in line and the bariatric buyer’s guide.

Bariatric load handling

Standard mortuary cots are typically rated at 500–650 lb working load. That works for the median case but creates an operator-safety problem for the 350-lb-plus case range — standard frames flex, lock-out mechanisms strain, and the load-to-rating margin disappears.

The 1000E doubles the working load envelope. Reinforced rails, heavier-section welds, and oversized casters carry true 1,000-lb cases without the frame stress that drives premature failure on under-rated cots. Stainless-plated hardware handles the corrosion exposure from humidity, body-fluid contact, and wash-down cycles.

Cooler and rack compatibility

The 1000E pairs with the bariatric walk-in mortuary cooler line, the 2 Body Extra Wide Roll-In Mortuary Cooler, and any AMC walk-in cooler ordered in the slab-mount no-floor configuration with bariatric door clearance.

For interior load-out with bariatric capacity, the 3 Tier End Loading Mortuary Rack has a 21″ first tier sized for bariatric and oversized cases. Full racking catalog: racks and lifts.

Frequently asked questions

What’s the working load capacity?

1,000 lb. The bariatric tier above the standard 550 lb (500E) and premium 600 lb (PRO 650X) cots.

When does a facility actually need a 1000E?

When bariatric or oversized cases are a recurring case profile and operator safety on under-rated frames becomes a real risk. Above the 350-lb-plus case range, standard 550-lb cots run into frame-stress limits.

Is the 1000E a one-person cot?

Yes. Auto-locking legs, but bariatric removal is typically two-operator regardless of cot rating — the cot supports one-person handling for transport once the case is loaded.
