Why 10-gauge steel matters

10-gauge structural steel is roughly 60% thicker than the 14-gauge frames that dominate imported mortuary racks. For a rack carrying daily case loads in the 150–400+ lb range across multiple tiers, that’s the difference between a rack that holds geometry for a decade and one that develops tier sag inside two years.

Cooler compatibility

Sized for parallel side-loading installation in any AMC walk-in mortuary cooler at the 8×10 footprint or larger. Walk-in capacity tables:

8×10 — 1 rack, 7-body
10×10 — 1 rack, 8-body
8×12 — 2 parallel racks, 9-body
8×14 — 2 parallel racks, 11-body
8×16 — 3 parallel racks, 14-body
10×16 — parallel banks, 14-body

How does this rack compare to the 3-tier end-loading rack?

4-tier side-loading optimizes for body density in parallel installations. The 3-tier end-loading trades a tier for a 21″ first-tier bariatric clearance.
