Where it fits in the vault cooler line
The 3 Bay Vertical Vault is the small-footprint stacked vault — same 3-body capacity as the 3-Door Vault (horizontal) but in a vertical stack that reduces floor area. Step up to the 4 Bay Vault or 6 Bay Vault.
For the 2-body vertical variant, see the 2 Body Vertical Vault (1070-2BVU). Full catalog: multi-bay vault morgue coolers.
Why vertical stacking
At 3-body capacity the horizontal 3-Door Vault occupies more floor area than the vertical 3 Bay. Vertical configuration is the right call when the prep room is floor-area-constrained — common in retrofit installations, hospital outpatient morgues, and small ME field offices. All three bays still get individual-access with stainless steel slide-out trays.
Door hinge selection
All three doors hinge on the same side — either all right-hand (hinges on right, handles on left) or all left-hand (hinges on left, handles on right). Match to the prep-room workflow so the operator has unobstructed access from the staging side.
