Where it fits in the racking line

The 3-tier end-loading configuration is the right rack when first-tier bariatric clearance matters more than maximum body density. For higher-density side-loading workflow, see the 4 Tier Side-Loading Mortuary Rack. For the full racking and lift catalog, see racks and lifts and all-access mortuary racking.

Specifications

Why 10-gauge steel matters

10-gauge structural steel is roughly 60% thicker than the 14-gauge frames that dominate imported mortuary racks and roughly twice the thickness of 16-gauge. For a rack that’s being loaded and unloaded daily with case weights ranging from 150 to 600+ lb, that’s the difference between a rack that holds its geometry over a decade and one that develops tier sag inside two years.

Cooler compatibility

The 3 Tier End Loading Rack is sized for end-loading workflow in any AMC walk-in mortuary cooler at the 8×10 footprint or larger. For larger walk-ins with parallel racking, see the 10×10, 10×16, and 10×20. For the full walk-in line, see the walk-in mortuary cooler collection. Bariatric-rated walk-ins are at bariatric mortuary coolers with deeper detail in the bariatric buyer’s guide.
