Choose Your Configuration
Select your build and door orientation in the product options above before adding to your order.
1. Cooler Box Only? — Full System vs. Shell Only
-
No — I need the full system: the complete cooler — insulated box, three heavy-duty roller-rack shelves, and self-contained refrigeration. Turnkey and ready to run.
-
Yes — cooler shell only (no racking, no refrigeration, no other options): the insulated cam-lock cooler box / shell only, for facilities replacing a worn shell while reusing existing shelving and refrigeration. Ships without shelving, refrigeration, or accessories.
2. Door Hinge Orientation
-
Left-Hand Hinge or Right-Hand Hinge — determined facing the front of the unit. Confirm in narrow rooms or where wall clearance is limited.
Extra-Wide Bariatric Clearance — No Walk-In Required
Facilities searching for a 3-body extra wide cadaver cooler are usually solving three problems at once: the existing unit is too narrow for larger cases, a walk-in system isn't an option, and the install needs to work on existing power without a plumber, electrician, or contractor. The Model 3BX is built for exactly that.
Three-body storage. 36-inch bariatric interior clearance. Three individual roller-rack shelves. 100% self-contained — no drainage, no special electrical, no plumbing, no HVAC tie-in. Standard 110V. Built in Johnson City, Tennessee, with a 15-year panel and door warranty — factory direct.
All other upright capacities and fully custom models are available. 2-body, 4-body, 6-body, side-load, vault, and roll-in configurations — plus built-to-spec custom units. See all
Upright Coolers, the
2, 3 & 4 Body range, or request a
custom build.
What 36 Inches Means in Daily Operation
Standard upright coolers are built to 30-inch interior width. The 3BX runs at 36 inches — a 20% wider interior that changes working conditions three ways: it accepts 27-inch cadaver trays (standard units take 23"), it gives staff room to position correctly at each tier (reducing the angled movements that accumulate into injury risk), and it cuts the adjustments needed per transfer in repeated daily loading cycles.
No Drainage. No Special Electrical. No Contractor.
-
No drainage required — 100% self-contained sealed system; condensate managed internally. No floor drain, drain line, or plumber.
-
Standard 110V outlet — no dedicated circuit or electrician for most conditioned installs. Verify outlet condition, breaker rating & compatibility before ordering.
-
No HVAC tie-in — drop-in self-contained refrigeration, compressor on top; no mechanical-room access or split-system coordination.
For facility directors and procurement officers, a purchase that needs no plumber, electrician, or HVAC contractor moves through approval faster and installs sooner.
Ambient Temperature — Confirm Before Ordering
The standard compressor is rated for conditioned rooms at or below 80°F ambient — covering most prep rooms, morgue storage, and pathology departments with standard climate control.
Hot, unconditioned, or high-humidity spaces (no A/C, garages/basements, Gulf Coast / Southwest / Southeast / desert climates, high-THI rooms) require the
high-ambient compressor upgrade — cost varies by region and is added to the final total. Installing the standard unit above the rated threshold reduces performance, shortens component life, and may void mechanical warranty. Call
1-888-792-9315 before ordering if uncertain.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does "extra wide" mean on the Model 3BX?
The interior measures 36 inches wide side-to-side — 6 inches (20%) wider than the standard 30-inch unit. It accepts 27-inch body trays, accommodates larger or bariatric remains, and gives staff more working clearance per tier.
Can I order just the cooler box / shell?
Yes. Choose "Yes — cooler shell only" in the Configuration option to order the insulated box without shelving or refrigeration — for facilities replacing a worn shell while reusing existing racking and refrigeration. Shell-only is priced separately; call to confirm compatibility.
Does this cadaver cooler require drainage or plumbing?
No. 100% self-contained with no drainage required — no floor drain, no drain line, no plumber. It is a sealed system; condensate is managed internally.
What electrical does it need, and what if my room runs hot?
A standard 110V outlet for most conditioned installs. Hot, unconditioned, or high-humidity spaces require a high-ambient compressor upgrade whose cost varies by region and is added to the final total. Installing the standard unit above the threshold may void mechanical warranty coverage.
What tray size fits this extra wide cooler?
The 36-inch interior is designed for 27-inch wide stainless steel cadaver trays. Standard 30-inch interiors accept 23-inch trays. Confirm tray specs before ordering accessories.
Are casters and an interior light available?
Yes. Optional four 6-inch heavy-duty casters make it a repositionable mobile cooler (and are required for assembled freight), and an optional interior light aids loading and inspection.
How does the 3BX compare to the 4BX Extra-Wide 4-Body?
Both share the same 36-inch interior width, 110V self-contained operation, no drainage, and warranty. The 4BX adds a fourth position and 80 inches of interior height versus 60 inches on the 3BX. Choose the 3BX when 3-body capacity meets your caseload.
What warranty does the Model 3BX carry?
15 years on panels and doors, 5 years on mechanical components, and 2 years on parts and labor / core compressor parts. Mechanical warranty requires installation within the rated ambient temperature environment.
Do I need a forklift for delivery?
Due to the unit's size, a forklift (or equivalent) is required at delivery for facilities without a commercial loading dock, whether shipped assembled or unassembled. Call 1-888-792-9315 to confirm the right shipping configuration.
