Three-body upright storage in a standard-width cabinet
The 3-Body Standard Upright Mortuary Cooler provides a clear three-position option for funeral homes planning refrigerated body storage around a standard-width cabinet. Upright loading is a different workflow from rolling a loaded cot directly into a cooler: each storage position must be considered alongside the body tray, rack and lifting equipment used to reach it.
Use the three-body capacity as a starting point for your holding plan, then look at the busiest period your facility must accommodate. A fourth case still needs an appropriate holding arrangement; the capacity label is not a reason to overload a tier or improvise an additional storage position.
Choosing the right configuration
Compare this model with the bariatric three-body upright when usable width is the deciding factor, or with a roll-in cooler when cot access is the priority. For the standard model, check tray clearance, door handing and the delivery route together. Published cabinet dimensions do not replace the ventilation and service space required around the selected refrigeration package.
Build the equipment plan around this model, then compare mortuary racks and body lifts and related mortuary coolers. Use the freight and delivery planning guide to prepare the receiving route before the order is finalized.

Required Air Clearance & Owner Maintenance — Policy VC-1.1
Standard on all AMC drop-in refrigeration systems. These are conditions of warranty coverage, not recommendations.
- 1″–1.5″ minimum air gap around the entire cabinet — all sides and rear, maintained permanently.
- 16″ minimum unobstructed clearance above and around the compressor / condensing unit for airflow, heat rejection, and service access.
- No shelving, cabinetry, soffits, dropped ceilings, boxed enclosures, adjacent equipment, or stored goods may encroach on either envelope.
Owner Maintenance Responsibility
The customer is responsible for ongoing maintenance of the compressor and refrigeration system, including annual professional service as needed — coil cleaning, drain-line clearing, gasket inspection, and verification of refrigerant charge and temperature performance. Routine maintenance, consumables, labor, and service calls are not warranty items.
Published exterior dimensions do not include required clearance — add it when planning your space. Full terms: Ventilation & Clearance Policy (VC-1.1) · Warranty Policy (WR-1.0)
Important — Read Before Startup: 2026 Packaged Refrigeration System
Due to the changing refrigerant models under new Freon regulations and updated guidelines, it is critical that you completely read all startup instructions before using your packaged refrigeration system. Please be sure you understand your startup settings and the proper overflow and humidity drainage ports, which require hose adapters.
Condensation Drain Requirement
All 2026 Heatcraft compressors require a drain hose attached to the drain port for condensation, to maximize energy efficiency. Connect the supplied drain line to the drain port before startup.
External Drain Connection
In high-humidity environments or during continuous heavy run-times, the unit may experience overflow. To prevent this, the indoor unit is equipped with a 3/4″ NPT external drain connection that can be routed to an external drain line or a field-supplied condensate pump.
Internal Re-Evaporation
Indoor PRO³ models include a hot-gas re-evaporation pan beneath the compressor, which uses hot refrigerant gas to evaporate condensation naturally during normal operation.
2026 and Forward — Heatcraft PRO³
2026 and later packaged Heatcraft PRO³ systems include many new features made possible by an extremely high-efficiency process. Reviewing the startup documentation ensures these systems perform as designed.
American Mortuary Coolers accepts no liability or responsibility for a customer's failure to properly start up the new AW2 fully packaged, plug-in refrigeration units. If you have specific questions regarding functions and operations, please reach out prior to ordering.
