USP Bariatric Adjustable Autopsy Cart with Hand Crank

BUILT IN TENNESSEE. ANSWERED IN TENNESSEE. | BARIATRIC CARRIER CHASSIS | CALL 1-888-792-9315

The USP 5500B is a bariatric autopsy cart with hand-crank height adjustment, built for high-demand morgue, medical examiner, and forensic environments handling larger cases. All-stainless construction stands up to daily fluid exposure and aggressive cleaning, while the hand-crank chassis delivers precise working-height control without hydraulics to service. The recessed 14-gauge top sheds fluid to a drain, and heavy-duty 8" total-lock casters move and hold a loaded cart on any morgue floor.

Built by U.S. Autopsy Equipment, the forensic and postmortem line from U.S. Pathology Equipment — a division of American Mortuary Equipment. Sold factory-direct, no dealer margin. Pairs with our autopsy tables with integrated sink, grossing stations, and hanging autopsy scale.

Specifications

Built for bariatric postmortem handling

Bariatric cases demand a chassis that won't flex, casters that won't bind under load, and a height range that keeps the prosector working at a safe, square posture. The 5500B carries the case on a fixed recessed top that drains to a single point, integrates with your autopsy sink, and adjusts through 6" of hand-crank travel — no hydraulic pump to bleed, no powered controls to fail. For the standard-width version of this same chassis, see the USP 5500S standard autopsy cart.

Medical examiner and coroner offices, hospital morgues, university forensic programs, and government facilities buy from U.S. Autopsy Equipment on standard institutional terms — formal quotes on letterhead, W-9 on file, purchase orders accepted.
