Vertical Mortuary Coolers
Vertical mortuary coolers stack bodies on tiers or in stacked vault bays to save floor space: 2 to 12 body vertical morgue coolers, factory direct.
Vertical Mortuary Coolers
A vertical mortuary cooler uses height instead of floor space. Bodies are stored one above another, either on tiers inside a single cabinet or in stacked vault bays with their own doors. A vertical cooler fits more positions into a small prep room or hospital suite than any other format.
Two kinds of vertical cooler
Vertical vault cooler
Stacked bays, each with its own door and slide-out tray. Each case stays separate, and only one bay opens at a time.

Planning vertical storage
Vertical storage depends on how staff reach the upper positions. A 3-body cabinet puts the top tier above waist height, and taller units need a lift. Measure ceiling height and the delivery path, and match a lift whose range covers both the lowest and highest tier.
- Ceiling height above the cabinet for airflow
- Lift height range covers every tier
- Tray width fits your largest cases
- Door swing clears the room
- Dedicated outlet within reach
- Floor level for the cabinet and the lift
Lifts that pair with vertical coolers: mortuary lift systems, crematory scissor lifts.
