Morgue Coolers for Hospitals, Medical Examiners & Coroners
Morgue Coolers for Hospitals, Medical Examiners, and Coroners
Hospitals, medical examiner offices, and coroners need body storage that works every day and holds up when demand spikes. AWIC designs and builds morgue coolers and freezers in the USA, sized to your caseload and built for institutional use.
Built for institutional demands
Body boxes for 2 to 4 bodies, or walk-in morgue coolers of any size with rolling racks.
Wide body boxes and oversized walk-in doors for larger individuals.
Locking handles to restrict access.
Alerts before a failure turns into a loss.
No-wood UL-NSF approved panels and an NSF cove base on floorless units, ready for washdown.
Typically set between 35°F and 40°F, with morgue freezers for long-term holding.
Surge and emergency capacity
Mass-fatality events, pandemics, and seasonal peaks can overwhelm a hospital or county morgue in days. AWIC walk-ins are built from cam-lock insulated panels, so the room can be expanded, reconfigured, or relocated as needs change.
- Add capacity to an existing walk-in by adding panels.
- Install outdoors on a level slab with a heavy-duty membrane roof cap, keeping capacity outside the building.
- Plan ahead. Many facilities size their permanent cooler with spare rack positions, or keep a plan on file for a fast expansion.
Talk to us before you need it. A surge plan with drawings in hand saves time when it matters.
Universities, anatomy programs, and veterinary necropsy
Medical schools, anatomy labs, and veterinary programs need reliable cold storage for donor bodies and specimens. We build coolers and freezers to the capacity, layout, and temperature your program requires, from a single body box to a walk-in with racks.
