Instantly Increase Morgue Capacity

Add 2, 3 or 4 refrigerated body positions to a funeral home, hospital morgue or field hospital with a self-contained upright mortuary cooler that plugs into a dedicated 115V, 20-amp outlet. There is no refrigeration contractor, no line set and no hard-wiring. Every model below has a published price, can be ordered online or on a purchase order, and stays in service as permanent capacity after the surge is over. It is a portable morgue you can stand up quickly, with the dignity of a dedicated, closed cabinet for every decedent.

Portable Morgue Capacity for Field Hospitals and Mortuary Affairs

Expanding mortuary capacity is a mission-critical part of preparedness for hospitals, coroners, emergency managers and military and civilian mortuary affairs teams. A plug-in upright gives logistics planners a known footprint, a known circuit and a known price per position, so surge holding can be written into a plan instead of improvised.

• Field settings: runs on a standard 115V, 20-amp circuit; confirm generator capacity with your electrician
• Field hospitals: 2- to 4-body cabinets sized for small-unit holding, combined for larger responses
• Dignity: closed, gasketed cabinet with individual roller tiers, not shared open shelving
• Durable: rigid listed panels with a 15-year structural panel warranty
• Efficient: 4.6 running amps on the standard Heatcraft refrigeration package
• Reliable: 34–40°F holding range with a U.S.-brand refrigeration system

Mobile Body Storage, From Two Decedents to Mass Fatality

Mobile body storage lets you cool the deceased with dignity without building a large traditional mortuary refrigerator. Start with a single 2-body cabinet beside an existing morgue, add 3- and 4-body uprights as demand rises, and move to walk-in coolers with multi-tier racks for a mass fatality plan.

• 2-body cabinets for overflow at a funeral home or hospital
• 3- and 4-body uprights for county and regional surge holding
• Bariatric uprights for larger decedents
• Walk-in coolers and 5-tier racks for mass fatality storage

A Hard Cabinet, Not a Temporary Shelter

A reliable mortuary cooling solution has to keep working after the emergency. Pop-up and fabric cold rooms are built to be packed away. An AMC upright is a rigid insulated cabinet with a gasketed door, stainless roller tiers and a U.S.-brand refrigeration system, so the extra positions you add for a surge keep working as everyday capacity.

• NSF, UL and ASTM E84 Class A listed construction
• Limited 15-year structural panel warranty
• Heatcraft manufacturer refrigeration warranty, 2 years from installation
• Magnetic door gasket that holds 34–40°F after door openings
• Optional 6" heavy-duty casters ($345) on selected uprights
• Printable owner's manual and maintenance log with every cooler

Room Checklist

• A dedicated 115V, 20-amp circuit with a NEMA 5-20R outlet
• 1"–1.5" of air gap around the cabinet, plus refrigeration clearance above
• A conditioned room at 65–75°F; choose a refrigeration upsize for hotter spaces
• A level floor rated for the cabinet plus its full load
• A body lift for upper tiers, or a roll-in cooler for cot-direct loading
• A clear delivery path for the crated panels

Procurement Codes for Every Portable Model

Each 2-, 3- and 4-body upright, roll-in and portable freezer on this page carries the same reference classifications, so buyers can match the model to a requisition, purchase order or bid system.

A NATO Stock Number (NSN) is the 13-digit FSC + country code + item number assigned when an item is codified into a defense supply system. If your unit or agency needs an AMC model codified, we supply the model number, drawings, specification sheet and owner's manual for the request. These codes are catalog references only. They do not indicate a GSA Schedule, government contract or agency approval.
