INTRODUCTION The temporary storage of corpses often presents serious logistical problems, particularly in remote areas where storage facilities may be inadequate.
Decomposition of
corpses stored at the incorrect temperature may cause the spread of disease and contamination of drinking water, as well as medico-legal problems during subsequent post-mortem examination. THE MOBILE
MORTUARY UNIT has been specifically designed to alleviate these problems.
- Provides temporary storage facilities for six corpses at 1°C.
- Manufactured from thermally-insulated material
- Mounted on robust trailer designed for off-road conditions
- Double container doors for easy loading
- Temperature gauge provides constant temperature read-out
- 220 volt compressor ensures constant temperature
- 220 volt generator (3 KW) for use during transport or if electricity unavailable
- Easily stored when not in use
- Easily towed by any light vehicle
THE MOBILE MORTUARY UNIT is ideal for use by:
Military and police forces
- Rural hospitals and clinics
- Disaster relief organizations
- Mines, construction companies in remote locations
- Funeral directors in rural areas
