Autopsy Trolleys & Transport Carts ⁽⁶⁾

Autopsy Trolleys, Cadaver Carts & Body Transport Equipment

U.S. Pathology Equipment manufactures hydraulic autopsy trolleys, bariatric autopsy trolleys, cadaver stretcher carts, and covered transport carts in 304 stainless steel at our Johnson City, Tennessee facility. Every cart in this collection is built for the daily movement of decedents between intake, refrigerated storage, and the examination suite — continuous-weld stainless frames, heavy-duty casters, and work surfaces that hold up to facility disinfectants case after case.

Medical examiner offices, hospital morgues, university anatomy programs, and funeral homes buy these trolleys factory-direct: no dealer margin, no import lead times, and one Tennessee phone number for quoting, freight, and warranty.

Autopsy Trolley & Transport Cart Types

— Hydraulic autopsy trolleys — foot-pump height adjustment for level transfers between cooler racks, autopsy tables, and removal cots; removable stainless tops double as a mobile post-mortem work surface.
— Bariatric autopsy trolleys — reinforced frames and widened decks engineered for oversized cases; pairs with our bariatric coolers and lift systems.
— Cadaver stretcher carts — fixed-height 304 stainless stretchers for straightforward point-to-point movement inside the facility.
— Covered transport carts — hinged stainless covers conceal the decedent for dignified movement through shared corridors.
— Concealed cadaver transport carts — full-enclosure hydraulic carts for hospitals and campuses where every transfer happens in public view.
— Cadaver lift trolleys — powered lift carts that move and elevate, loading cooler racks and prep tables without manual lifting.

304 Stainless Construction

Frames and decks are fabricated from 304 stainless steel with continuous welds — no bolted seams to trap fluids, no coated mild steel that rusts at the first scratch. Casters are specified for loaded transport over thresholds and cooler ramps, with locking wheels at the working positions. Crevice-free corners and drainage-conscious deck profiles cut decontamination time between cases.

Where These Carts Work

County morgues moving cases from intake to the examination room. Hospital pathology departments transferring decedents through public corridors without drawing attention. University anatomy labs rotating donors between storage and dissection stations. Funeral homes that want one stainless cart spanning removal, cooler, and prep room. If a cart has to clear your cooler door, tell us — we build the coolers too, and we confirm clearances before you order.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between an autopsy trolley and a cadaver transport cart?

An autopsy trolley adds hydraulic height adjustment and, on some models, a removable top so it can serve as both a transfer cart and a mobile post-mortem work surface. A transport cart is built for movement — fixed deck or concealing cover — rather than examination.

Are these trolleys height-adjustable?

Hydraulic models raise and lower by foot pump for level transfers to cooler racks, autopsy tables, and cots. Fixed-height stretcher carts and covered transport carts are available where adjustment isn't needed.

Do you build bariatric autopsy trolleys?

Yes. Bariatric models use reinforced 304 stainless frames and widened decks for oversized cases. Confirm the rated capacity for a specific model on its product page or with our team before ordering.

Can the trolley top transfer directly onto an autopsy table or cooler rack?

Removable-top models are designed for tray transfer at matched heights, so the decedent moves on the tray rather than by manual lift. Tell us what tables and racks you run and we'll confirm compatibility.

Will these carts fit through our doorways and into our cooler?

Most facilities have no issue, but send door widths and your cooler layout with the quote request and we'll check the model's footprint against your clearances before you commit.

How is pricing handled?

All trolley and transport cart pricing is quote-based. Call 1-888-792-9315 or email po@mymortuarycooler.com — most quotes go out within one business day, with freight to all 50 states.
