When both doors open wide simultaneously to expose the full interior width, your team has unrestricted access to all three positions from directly in front of the unit — no reaching around a door edge, no repositioning between tiers.

On a standard front-load upright, the door swings out toward the operator and takes up floor space in front of the unit during every access. On the 3BX-SL, both doors swing to the sides and the full 87-inch interior width is accessible from directly in front. There is no door edge to work around, no blind corner on the lower or upper tier, and no floor obstruction during transfers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis matters most in rooms where the cooler is tucked into a corner, positioned along a wall, or situated in a space where the floor area in front of the unit is shared with a prep table, cot path, or other equipment. In those environments, a front-load cooler forces staff to work at an angle on every access. The side-load design eliminates that entirely.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor facilities comparing side-load against other cooler configurations, use the \u003ca href=\"\/pages\/capacity-calculator\"\u003eCooler Capacity Calculator\u003c\/a\u003e and review \u003ca href=\"\/pages\/upright-mortuary-cooler-capacity-options\"\u003eUpright Mortuary Cooler Capacity Options\u003c\/a\u003e before ordering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eNo Drainage.

When both doors are open, the full 87-inch interior width is accessible simultaneously — giving staff direct access to all three body positions from directly in front of the unit. This design is preferred in rooms where front-door swing is limited or where corner placement is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the 3BX-SL require a forklift for delivery?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor assembled delivery at a facility without a commercial loading dock, yes — a forklift or equivalent is required. For unassembled delivery, no forklift is needed. If your facility has no loading dock access, order the unassembled configuration. On-site assembly service is available for an additional fee if needed after unassembled delivery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat optional features can I add to this side-load cadaver cooler?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThree optional add-ons are available at order: factory-installed heavy-duty castors for mobile positioning, interior lighting for improved visibility, and professional on-site assembly service for an additional fee. All options must be selected at time of order — they cannot be added after the unit ships.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes this mortuary cooler require drainage or special plumbing?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. The Model 3BX-SL is 100% self-contained with no drainage required. No floor drain, no drain line, no plumber.
