| Material | Typically constructed from high-grade 304 stainless steel for the frame and body tray. This material is chosen for its durability, corrosion resistance, and ease of cleaning to maintain stringent hygiene protocols. |
| Load Capacity (Maximum) | A crucial medical specification, typically ranging from 150 kg to 450 kg (approx. 330 lbs to 990 lbs), to safely accommodate adult or bariatric remains. |
| Lifting Mechanism | Operation can be manual hydraulic (foot pump), electric, or electro-hydraulic. |
| Manual Hydraulic | Uses a foot-operated pump for height adjustment. |
| Electric/Electro | hydraulic: Features a battery-operated lifting system, often controlled by a hand pendant or remote. Some models have an incorporated battery charger. |
| Height Adjustability | Designed to raise and lower the body tray to align with various mortuary equipment (e.g., multi-tier refrigeration units, autopsy tables). The lifting height range can vary significantly, such as from a minimum of 40 cm to a maximum of 220 cm (approx. 15 in to 86 in). |
| Body Tray | The tray is often a concave shape with a drainage outlet, facilitating cleaning and preventing fluid spills. It is typically removable and may feature rollers for easy transfer into the refrigerator unit. |
| Mobility & Safety | The lift is mounted on swivel castors/wheels, often 125 mm or 150 mm in diameter, with at least two wheels equipped with brakes to ensure stability when stationary. |
| Safety Features | May include a choke valve for controlled descent in hydraulic models, safety release latches, and power failure alarms in electric models. |
| Dimensions | Overall size and body tray dimensions are specific to the model and often customizable to fit a facility's existing mortuary chambers or autopsy tables. |
| Noise Level | Electric and electro-hydraulic units are designed for relatively quiet, smooth operation (e.g., less than 50 dbA). |
