Product details
End-Load Cadaver Storage Rack, 2 to 5 Tier from U.S. Pathology Equipment. An end-loading cadaver storage rack for narrow cooler aisles and high-density body storage. Trays load straight in from the end on roller tiers. Choose 2, 3, 4 or 5 tiers.
What is a cadaver storage rack?
A cadaver storage rack is a multi-tier frame that holds bodies on trays inside a walk-in morgue cooler or refrigerated trailer. Roller tiers let staff slide trays in from the side or the end, and a matching lift moves trays to the upper tiers.
Key features
- End-loading roller tiers
- Heavy-gauge steel with powder-coat finish, stainless available
- Casters or leveling feet
- High-density storage in walk-in coolers

Side-load vs end-load racks
| Side-load | Trays slide in from the long side; best for wide coolers |
|---|---|
| End-load | Trays slide in from the end; best for narrow aisles and depth |
| 2 to 3 tiers | Easier loading, lower density |
| 4 to 5 tiers | Highest density, requires a lift |
Casters and powder-coat finish
The rack rolls on four Ø6″ swivel casters, each mounted on a steel plate at the foot of a corner post. The plate spreads a loaded tier's weight across the caster instead of a single stem, so the rack rolls smoothly across a cooler floor and stays square when it's moved full. Casters sit 7 11/16″ from the floor to the bottom of the frame.
The welded 1½″ square-tube frame is powder-coated after fabrication. The baked finish stands up to tray contact, cold and condensation inside a walk-in cooler and cleans with a mild detergent and water. Custom powder-coat colors and stainless frames are available on request. Standard 2-tier and 3-tier frames measure 85″ L × 31″ W (82″ × 28″ inside) with tiers at 21″ and 39″ (and 57″ on the 3-tier); overall height is 41″ for 2 tiers and 59″ for 3 tiers, with a 16½″ clear opening per tier.

Mortuary rack storage, arranged around your loading route
Build cadaver storage capacity around the usable height, aisle and transfer route. Side-, end- and multi-directional loading solve different access problems; tier count alone does not establish tray fit or lift access. A portable mortuary rack needs the specified caster base, while stationary configurations use their stated feet or supports.
Compare 2-, 3-, 4- and 5-tier rack layouts
Side-loading racks: compare the 2-tier, 3-tier, 4-tier 4TSL and 5-tier side-loading models.
End-loading racks: review the 2-tier end-load configuration, 3-tier, 4-tier 4TEL and 5-tier end-loading racks.
For access from more than one direction, compare 2-tier, 3-tier, 4-tier and 5-tier multi-directional racks.
Review 2-tier side-or-end loading, the USPE 2–5 tier side-load range and USPE end-load range for another layout. Cantilever racks offer support-arm storage rather than rolling tiers.
Choose stainless trays or the correct storage board
Compare the 23-inch stainless tray, 27-inch tray and 30-inch tray by overall size, gauge and rated load. Check support spacing, underside clearance, handholds and retaining arrangements against the rack. A wider tray is not automatically approved for the same tier.
For board storage, review the HD plastic body board, HDPE rack storage board and 29-inch oversized board. The rubber-edge laminated board and 78 × 24-inch laminated board provide other storage-surface choices. Select the board for the documented support arrangement, not simply its width.
Board packs and additional stainless tray choices
HD board packs: 5 boards, 6 boards, 48 boards or 74 boards. Oversized board packs are listed as 12 boards and 24 boards. Laminated boards are also available in sets of 3 and sets of 5.
Compare the stainless storage tray, stainless body tray range, low-profile tray pair and 3-pack. Additional package listings include five 23-inch trays and six stainless trays. Confirm each listing's included quantity and dimensions.
Compare the lift models before pairing equipment
Start with the H1000 manual hydraulic lift, G1 powered multi-directional lift or 1030-LPL low-profile powered lift. Compare the lowest and highest transfer surfaces with every intended tier; the low-profile name does not establish bottom-tier access.
Other platform choices include the aluminum-alloy powered lift, stainless mortuary lift trolley, USPE cadaver lift trolley, USPE cadaver transport scissor lift, covered cadaver lift and LowLoad powered lift listing. Each has its own deck, load and height requirements.
Body and casket handling equipment
Review the heavy-duty body and casket lifter, TITAN Power Body & Casket Lift XL, casket jack set and lift straps for their intended handling tasks. These are not automatic substitutes for a tray-supporting rack lift.
Frame finish, wheels and the written equipment scope
Powder-coated rack frames and their trays, rollers or boards have separate material specifications. A stainless tray does not make a steel rack frame stainless. Coating colors and cosmetic details can change as products are improved; use the selected model's stated construction and accepted order for the required finish.
For a new facility or phased replacement, list the tier count, side or end access, stationary or caster base, tray or board quantities, cooler opening and intended lift. Identify existing equipment so support surfaces and transfer heights can be checked together. Request country-of-origin documents and the applicable written warranty for the models being ordered.

Roller-equipped cadaver handling and storage
Plan the route from mortuary lift to roller storage rack and cooler as a coordinated equipment selection. Compatible rolling surfaces can let a supported tray move between components without being lifted clear of its support. That benefit depends on the selected equipment, not simply on both products having rollers.
Compare the actual rolling-surface heights, tray underside, usable width, roller or ball-transfer spacing, loading direction and retaining stops at both ends of the transfer. Positioning, brake use and the release or engagement of stops must follow each model's instructions. Keep the load supported throughout the transfer, and determine staffing from the task, load and facility procedure rather than assume one-person operation.
Choose a low-profile powered lift for the required lower transfer points, or review the G1 multi-directional lift and stainless medical lift trolley for other loading requirements. Match trays and boards individually; a board that fits one platform is not automatically approved for a rolling tray system.
Request a coordinated lift, roller-rack and tray quote with the lowest and highest transfer points, tray dimensions, loads and existing equipment drawings. This roller-transfer guidance does not describe a cantilever support-arm rack.
