Mortuary Lifts & Body Handling Equipment — Buyer's Guide for Funeral Homes
Mortuary lifts reduce manual body handling risk in funeral homes, hospital morgues, and coroner offices. Choosing the right mortuary lift for your operation depends on your primary use case: cot-to-rack transfer, casket positioning, or in-facility body transport. This guide covers every AMC mortuary lift and body handling equipment option.
Low Profile Powered Mortuary Lift
The Low Profile Powered Mortuary Lift is the standard funeral home body handling lift for cot-to-embalming table and cot-to-cooler rack transfer. Its low ground clearance allows it to slide under a mortuary cot without manual repositioning. Battery-electric operation. The primary OSHA-compliance lift for single-operator body handling in funeral home prep rooms.
HD 1,000 lb Body & Casket Lifter
The HD 1,000 lb Casket & Body Lifter is AMC’s highest-capacity hydraulic lift for bariatric body and casket positioning. Hydraulic operation, no battery required. Preferred in crematories and funeral homes that regularly handle bariatric cases and heavier caskets.
1,000 lb Hydraulic Mortuary Scissor Lift
The 1,000 lb Hydraulic Mortuary Scissor Lift provides a stable flat platform for body handling at variable heights. Used in hospital morgues, ME offices, and funeral home prep rooms where table-height transfer precision matters.
Body Casket Lift XL — 900 lb Battery Electric
The Body Casket Lift XL is a 900 lb battery-electric lift designed for casket positioning in funeral home chapel and preparation room applications. No hydraulic fluid maintenance required.
Powered Scissor Lift — Aluminum Alloy
The Powered Scissor Lift Aluminum Alloy is a lightweight option for funeral homes and anatomy labs that need power-assisted lift with reduced equipment weight for facility transport.
Covered Cadaver Scissor Lift
The Covered Cadaver Scissor Lift adds a privacy cover to the scissor lift platform for dignified body handling in hospital and public-facing facility environments.
