The Bariatric Autopsy Trolley (USPE-1038-BAT) is the heavy-load mobile post-mortem table in the U.S. Pathology Equipment line — reinforced frame and widened 304 stainless platform rated for bariatric casework. Built for ME and coroner offices, hospital morgues, and forensic pathology centers where bariatric case frequency makes standard-width trolleys an operational and operator-safety liability.

Where it fits in the USPE autopsy line
The USPE-1038-BAT is the bariatric specialty unit in the autopsy trolley family. For standard-width mobile workflow with removable top, see the USPE-1038-2ATRT Hydraulic Autopsy Trolley. For concealed transport, see the USPE-1038-2ATH Concealed Transport Cart. For fixed-position bariatric autopsy workflow, the USPE-1035-PED elevating pedestal autopsy table handles bariatric cases at its raised height settings.

Why a dedicated bariatric trolley
Running bariatric cases on standard-width trolleys creates two compounding failures: the case overhangs the platform edge (compromising case dignity and fluid containment), and the load concentrates beyond the frame’s design envelope (accelerating caster, weld, and frame fatigue). The USPE-1038-BAT widened platform contains the case fully within the stainless work surface, and the reinforced frame distributes bariatric load through casters rated for it. For facilities tracking operator injury claims, the bariatric-rated platform also reduces the manual repositioning that drives lifting injuries.

Competitor benchmarks
Comparable bariatric autopsy trolleys from MOBI Lab (mobilab.us), Mopec, Mortech, and Ferno run higher per-unit with longer lead times. As a Mopec autopsy table alternative for bariatric workflow, the USPE-1038-BAT offers factory-direct American manufacturing without distributor markup.
Frequently asked questions
Why a dedicated bariatric trolley vs. running a standard trolley harder?
Case overhang compromises dignity and containment; over-envelope load accelerates frame and caster fatigue; manual repositioning drives operator lifting injuries. The dedicated platform fixes all three.
What bariatric cooler does it pair with?
The full bariatric mortuary cooler line and extra-wide coolers — platform height matches bay transfer.
What’s the lead time?
2 weeks for standard configurations.
How does it compare to MOBI Lab and Mopec bariatric trolleys?
Factory-direct, faster lead times, 10-year warranty. mobilab.us equivalents run higher per-unit.
Where is it manufactured?
Johnson City, Tennessee. U.S. Pathology Equipment, American made by the family-owned forensic autopsy equipment manufacturer since 2009, A+ Rated by the BBB.
