Double-Deck System for Mid-Size Cargo Vans | Mercedes Metris SWB & LWB
The AME-DD-EX2 is the only double-deck mortuary transport system in the industry specifically engineered to fit a mid-size cargo van. Designed exclusively for the Mercedes-Benz Metris, it doubles the carrying capacity of this popular first call and removal vehicle — allowing a single operator to safely transport four cots, three cremation containers, or two air trays per run.
Built for funeral homes, first call operators, and cremation facilities running mid-size vans, the DD-EX2 delivers the same professional-grade performance as full-size double-deck systems in a compact, purpose-engineered package.
