Options
- Refrigeration Upsize: Standard is sized for a climate-controlled indoor room. Choose Level 1, 2 or 3 Extreme for warmer rooms (table below).
- Door Hinge: left-hand or right-hand. Your choice applies to all doors. No charge.
- Body trays and lifts: sold separately; add them below.
Standard design features
- Self-contained condensing unit. The compressor, condenser and evaporator come as one factory-packaged unit mounted on the cabinet, so no refrigeration lines are run on site. A remote split system is available when the heat and noise should be moved out of the room.
- Digital thermometer and temperature controller. A digital display shows the box temperature at a glance, and the controller holds the setpoint you choose for body holding.
Door seal and refrigeration
- Magnetic gasketed door seal. Each chamber door closes against a magnetic gasket that seals the whole door edge, which keeps cold air in and holds 34–40°F after the door is opened.
- Energy-compliant refrigeration. The self-contained refrigeration system uses A2L refrigerant and meets current DOE/EPA efficiency rules.

Frequently asked questions
What temperature does a vault morgue cooler hold?
This 4-body vault cooler holds 34–40°F for short-term body holding. Long-term holds and unidentified cases are usually moved to a mortuary freezer. See mortuary cooler vs. morgue freezer.
Are body trays included?
Slide-out tray rails are included in every chamber. Body trays are sold separately in 23″, 27″ and 30″ widths, and you can add as many as you need in any mix. Shop body trays and boards.
What room conditions does the vault cooler need?
Standard refrigeration is sized for a climate-controlled indoor room at 65–75°F with normal door use. Choose Level 1, 2 or 3 Extreme refrigeration for rooms that reach 80°F, 90°F or 100°F, or that see heavy door traffic. Install indoors only, and keep the condensing unit’s intake and discharge clear.
Vault cooler or walk-in: which fits a hospital morgue layout?
A vault cooler gives each body its own chamber and door, so staff open one chamber at a time and keep the rest closed. A walk-in with racks is more flexible for surge and mixed body sizes. Compare layouts in vault-style vs. roller-rack storage and the hospital morgue design guide.
How many chambers does a hospital morgue need?
Plan from peak census and local policy. Published health-facility guidelines range from about 1 refrigerated space per 25 beds to 4 per 100 beds, plus dedicated bariatric and isolation chambers. Use the capacity planning guide to size the bank.
What certifications does it carry?
The refrigeration and electrical components are NSF and UL marked. See the Certifications row in the specifications for the full list.
Can you build a custom vault cooler or lab vault cooler design?
Yes. Send the chamber count, layout, tray widths and room dimensions through our quote builder, and we will return a written quote.
How is shipping charged?
The vault cooler ships by freight, and shipping is calculated at checkout for your delivery address. Purchase orders are accepted.
