Roundfin RD-1527E

In hospital mortuary placements where staff manual-handling-injury risk reduction is the procurement priority beyond what hydraulic foot-pedal operation can deliver, the RD-1527E, available through Medigear.uk, supports effort-free electric body lifting across the 400-1700 mm range. NHS Estates teams sourcing through Medigear.uk specify the RD-1527E for trust placements where staff with reduced lifting capability operate the mortuary, supporting HTM 20-04 workflow guidance and trust health-and-safety governance objectives across the public clinical estate.

In pathology and coronial workflows that handle high-volume body transfers between refrigerator chambers, post-mortem tables, and storage racks at varying heights, the RD-1527E's 60-cycles-per-charge battery specification supports a typical mortuary shift involving 30 transfers between equipment positions. The infrared remote key lets you adjust the height hands-free. At the same time, you manage body positioning, supporting workflow efficiency at busy regional referral mortuaries and university teaching hospital mortuaries, handling sustained body transfer throughput.

For independent funeral homes, funeral services groups, and removal operators running mortuary preparation rooms with single-operator workflow, the RD-1527E, delivered through Medigear.uk, provides electric lifting with a 200 kg capacity without foot-pedal effort. The remote key allows the operator to position the trolley alongside refrigerator chambers and adjust its height relative to the cabinet face — a workflow advantage during repeat-cycle body transfer operations in daily preparation routines.

In mass-fatality, pandemic, and field-deployment scenarios where rapid repeat-cycle body transfer is required, Medigear.uk supplies the RD-1527E to coronial overflow teams, trust contingency stockpiles, and emergency mortuary deployments. The electric lifting design reduces the workforce in multi-cycle deployments, helping to avoid staff fatigue from sustained hydraulic foot-pedal effort that would otherwise limit throughput. Battery operation supports field deployment with portable charging arrangements at the host site.

Fully Electric Battery-Powered Operation

The RD-1527E's defining specification is fully electric, battery-powered operation via an infrared remote key — eliminating the foot-pedal effort required by the hydraulic RD-1527 sibling. The electric lifting design reduces workforce effort across repeat-cycle workflows, especially for staff with reduced lifting capability, supports sustained mortuary throughput, and is a priority when procurement focuses on effort-free operation.

Hands-Free Infrared Remote Key Control

The 5-metre infrared remote key enables hands-free height adjustment from across the mortuary room — the operator can position the trolley alongside a refrigerator chamber and adjust height from the cabinet face, or position alongside a post-mortem table and adjust height from the table position. This workflow capability is not available on the hydraulic RD-1527 sibling.

60 Up-and-Down Cycles Per Battery Charge

The published 60-cycles-per-charge battery specification supports a typical NHS Trust mortuary shift handling 30 body transfers. The cycle count is sufficient for sustained daily operation across most mortuary workflows, with recharging required only between shifts. Medigear.uk supplies the trolley with charging instructions and battery care protocols at delivery.

Universal Roundfin Tray Compatibility

The RD-1527E's 1940 × 580 mm body tray dimensions match Roundfin's universal dimensions exactly, shared across the entire mortuary refrigerator range, storage racks, body tray family, and walk-in racks. A body is transferred from the RD-1527E trolley to a Roundfin refrigerator chamber, then to a storage rack tier on the same tray, without re-handling — integrating the electric trolley into mixed-equipment mortuary workflows.

Single-Operator Independent Operation

The infrared remote key, two-brake castor configuration, single scissor-lift mechanism, and electric motor together enable one staff member to lift, transport, and transfer bodies without lifting assistance and without foot-pedal effort. Single-operator workflow is the design intent, with the electric specification delivering enhanced workflow ergonomics beyond the hydraulic sibling.

200 kg Carrying Capacity Across Full Lift Range

The RD-1527E carries 200 kg static and dynamic working load capacity across the full 400-1700 mm range — matching the universal body tray load rating used across the Roundfin Morgue Series. The electric motor and single scissor-lift mechanism deliver consistent capacity regardless of the transfer height.

304 Stainless Steel Construction Throughout

Construction is 304 stainless steel throughout — frame, scissor mechanism, body tray, handles, and motor housing — tolerating routine chlorine-based wipe-down, hospital-grade chlorhexidine, isopropanol disinfection, and sustained mortuary cold-room operation. The fully corrosion-resistant construction supports long service life across daily mortuary workflows.

Reduced Staff Manual-Handling-Injury Risk

The electric lifting design supports trust health-and-safety governance by eliminating the foot-pedal effort required on the hydraulic sibling. For staff with reduced lifting capability, sustained repeat-cycle operations, or applications where reducing manual-handling injury risk is the priority, the electric specification improves workflow safety.

Verified Supplier OEM and Distributor AMC Support

Medigear.uk offers verified supplier OEM rebranding, sample approval, and bulk-order coordination for distributor partners purchasing the RD-1527E for integration into broader clinical equipment frameworks. AMC support is available through Medigear.uk's network of engineers for distributor-route placements, with UK-stocked replacement batteries for next-working-day dispatch under warranty.

Fully Electric Battery-Powered Operation

The RD-1527E operates on battery power rather than hydraulic foot-pedal action — eliminating the foot-pedal effort required by the hydraulic RD-1527 sibling and enabling effort-free single-operator workflow.

Infrared Remote Key Operation Method

The trolley operates via an infrared remote key with a 5-metre range — enabling hands-free height adjustment from across the mortuary room rather than requiring physical presence at the trolley's foot pedal.

60 Up-and-Down Cycles Per Battery Charge

The published battery specification supports 60 complete lifting operations per full charge — sufficient for a typical NHS Trust mortuary shift handling 30 body transfers between refrigerators, racks, and post-mortem rooms.

Single Scissor-Lift Mechanism

The trolley uses a single scissor-lift mechanism — matching the RD-1527 sibling exactly — supporting a 200 kg load capacity across the full 400-1700 mm lift range with electric motor drive.

Adjustable Lift Height: 400 mm to 1700 mm

The trolley adjusts continuously between a lowest position of 400 mm and a highest position of 1700 mm, covering body transfer at every Roundfin refrigerator chamber, storage rack tier, post-mortem table, and walk-in cold room position.

1940 × 580 mm Universal Body Tray Dimension

The body tray measures 1940 × 580 mm — Roundfin's universal dimension shared across the full mortuary refrigerator range, storage racks, body tray family, and walk-in racks. Straight-through body transfer between equipment without re-handling.

1.0 mm SUS304 Stainless Steel Body Tray

The body tray is constructed in 1.0 mm SUS304 stainless steel, matching the universal Roundfin tray standard across the equipment range and the RD-1527 hydraulic sibling specification.

200 kg Carrying Capacity

The trolley carries a static and dynamic working load capacity of 200 kg at every height position — matching the universal body tray load rating used across the Roundfin Morgue Series equipment range.

304 Stainless Steel Frame Construction

The trolley frame, scissor mechanism, tray support, handle hardware, and motor housing are constructed in 304 stainless steel — fully corrosion-resistant under sustained mortuary cold-room operation.

Electric Motor Drive Saves Manpower

The electric motor design eliminates foot-pedal effort and saves workforce across repeat-cycle mortuary workflows — particularly valuable for staff with reduced lifting capacity and for sustained-throughput operations.

Four 125 mm Castors With Two-Brake Configuration

The trolley moves on four 125 mm castors — two with brake locks for stable positioning during body transfer, two free-running for directional control during transport. Two-directional, two-brake configuration supports easy movement around mortuary corners.

Tray Lock Prevents Tray Falling During Operation

An integrated tray lock secures the body tray against the trolley platform during electric height adjustment, preventing tray slippage or falling that could compromise body positioning and staff safety.

Single-Operator Independent Operation

The remote key, two-brake castor configuration, single scissor-lift mechanism, and electric motor drive together enable one staff member to lift, transport, and transfer bodies without lifting assistance from additional staff and without foot-pedal effort.

Plywood Crate Packaging at 124 kg Gross Weight

The trolley ships fully assembled in a plywood crate measuring 2200 × 690 × 550 mm and weighing 124 kg gross — matching the packaging specification for the RD-1527 hydraulic sibling.

CE Marking and ISO 9001 Certification

The trolley ships with CE marking under the EU Medical Device Regulation framework and an ISO 9001-compliant quality system for manufacturing — sufficient documentation for NHS Estates procurement frameworks, HTM 20-04 mortuary workflow guidance, and CQC inspection evidence.
