Why a vault-style cooler at this capacity

At 6-body capacity, the choice between a vault-style cooler and a walk-in (~9-body, like the 8×12) comes down to workflow priority. Walk-in optimizes density per square foot; vault optimizes per-case isolation. For ME/coroner facilities running chain-of-custody forensic cases, vault is the default choice regardless of capacity math.

The 1070-3MB6's stainless steel slide-out trays let a single operator extract the case without disturbing adjacent bays.
