8-body vault storage and retrieval planning
The 8-Body Vault Morgue Cooler gives facilities a 8-body vault-format option for refrigerated body storage. The vault designation should be evaluated alongside the actual cabinet layout and access method, not treated as another name for a roll-in or upright cooler.
For an eight-body vault configuration, review how staff reach positions farther from their initial approach. Capacity is useful only when the selected case-handling method remains workable throughout the layout.
Choosing the right configuration
Review the cabinet dimensions, clear access, storage arrangement and refrigeration configuration together. Specify any handling accessories around the actual opening and retrieval method. Use the model-specific order schedule for procurement rather than substituting specifications from another vault capacity.
Build the equipment plan around this model, then compare mortuary cooler configurations and body-storage racks and lifts. Use the freight and delivery planning guide to prepare the receiving route before the order is finalized.

The 8-Door Vault-Style Morgue Cooler (Model 1070-2MB8) is an institutional-grade individual-access mortuary cabinet, 8 isolated chambers with stainless steel slide-out trays. Built for hospital morgues, regional medical examiner facilities, county coroner offices, university anatomy programs, and forensic centers where per-case dignity and cold-loss control matter more than aggregate body density.
At a glance
- 8 individually-accessed chambers: one door per case
- Stainless steel slide-out trays: full case extraction without bay disturbance
- Vault-style cabinet: cold-loss control per retrieval
- 304 stainless interior, modular insulated panels
- Self-contained or remote-split refrigeration
- NSF, UL, ASTM E84 certified
- 10-year structural warranty
- Made in Johnson City, Tennessee
Where it fits in the vault cooler line
The 8-Door is the mid-tier vault in the 1070 series. Step down to the 3-Door Vault (Model 1070-3MBS) or 2-Door Vault (Model 1070-2MB2). Step up to the 9 Bay Vault, 12 Bay Vault, or 15 Bay Vault.
Full catalog: multi-bay vault morgue coolers. For walk-in alternatives at similar capacity, see the 8×10 walk-in (7-body) or 8×12 walk-in (9-body). Background: medical examiner equipment guide · forensic lab cooler guide.
Why a vault-style cooler
A walk-in with parallel racking optimizes for body density per square foot. A vault-style cooler optimizes for per-case isolation, one door, one chamber, one case. That isolation matters for medical examiner facilities running active forensic cases (chain-of-custody), hospital morgues serving family viewing requests, and any facility where the cold-loss math of a full-cabinet door swing is a material issue at high case-cycle frequency.
Stainless steel slide-out trays let a single operator extract the case without disturbing adjacent chambers. The 8-Door configuration sits at the workflow sweet spot where individual-access density justifies the per-case footprint cost.

Ambient Room Temperature & Refrigeration Sizing, Read Before You Order
The temperature of the room around your vault matters as much as the vault itself. Every refrigeration system rejects heat into that room. The hotter the room, the longer the compressor runs, and the harder it is to hold a steady 34–40°F. Standard refrigeration is sized for a conditioned, ventilated indoor room. If your space runs warm, upsize the refrigeration when you order. It costs far less than a struggling system, temperature swings, or a warranty claim later.
| Room conditions at the vault | Recommended refrigeration | Upgrade |
|---|---|---|
| Climate-controlled prep room, 65–75°F, normal door use | Standard | Included |
| Warm room that regularly reaches 80°F | Level 1 | +$7,999.80 (20%) |
| Hot room up to 90°F, or heavy daily door traffic | Level 2 | +$8,799.78 (22%) |
| Room up to 100°F, high humidity, or nearby heat-producing equipment | Level 3 Extreme | +$9,599.76 (24%) |
Why ambient temperature is critical
- Holding temperature: an undersized system in a hot room cannot recover after each door opening, so box temperature drifts above 40°F.
- Compressor life: long, continuous run times in high heat wear out the compressor and fans early.
- Condensation & humidity: warm, humid rooms produce more condensate. Connect the drain line, and route it to the external drain or a condensate pump.
- Warranty: incorrect sizing, installation or placement voids the warranty. Choose the level that matches your hottest conditions, not your average.
How to choose
- Measure the room where the vault will sit at the hottest time of day in the hottest month, not when the HVAC is running at its best.
- Account for heat from nearby equipment, sun-facing walls, bay doors and how often the vault is opened.
- Keep the condensing unit's air path open, with no cabinetry, soffits or stored goods blocking intake or discharge. A starved condenser behaves like a hot room.
- Install indoors only. Unconditioned garages, mechanical rooms and rooms next to crematory retorts need a review before ordering, call 1-888-792-9315.
Upgrades are priced as a percentage of the base cooler price before casters and other options: Level 1 +20%, Level 2 +22%, Level 3 Extreme +24%. Select Refrigeration Upsize above. Full terms: Warranty Policy (WR-1.0)

Frequently asked questions
How many bodies does the 8-Door Vault hold?
Eight cadavers, one per individually-accessed chamber.
Why vault-style instead of a walk-in?

What temperature does it maintain?
34–40°F body holding standard across all 8 chambers.
Can it be financed?
Yes. 0% Shop Pay Installments at checkout for qualified buyers, 1% back. Automatically qualifies for extended financing. Net terms available for institutional and federal buyers.
