Mortuary Cooler Racks: 4-Tier vs. 5-Tier, Side-Load vs. End-Load

Cooler racks maximize the body-storage capacity of a walk-in cooler you already own — but 4-tier vs. 5-tier and side-load vs. end-load configurations suit different room dimensions and access needs.

4-tier vs. 5-tier

A 4-tier rack fits more comfortably in a standard-height walk-in with easier top-tier access; a 5-tier rack maximizes capacity in taller rooms at the cost of requiring a step stool or lift for the top tier.

Side-load vs. end-load

Side-load racks load and unload from the long side of the room; end-load racks load from the narrow end. The right choice depends on your walk-in's door placement and aisle space.
