Roundfin RD-801S

In NHS Trust hospital pathology and mortuary services, where the workflow includes the collection of deceased patients from hospital wards and transport through hospital corridors to the mortuary refrigerator, the RD-801S delivered through Medigear.uk supports the dignified covered body transport workflow that Feature 1 explicitly identifies as "transport from the hospital's ward to the morgue". NHS Estates teams sourcing through Medigear.uk specify the RD-801S for trust placements where ward-to-mortuary collection is the staffing model and where dignified covered transit through public corridors is the dignity standard.

In pathology, coronial, and mortuary services operating across hospital and forensic facilities where a single-operator collection workflow is the staffing model, the RD-801S supports one-staff body collection and transport via the foot-pedal hydraulic-style lift system. The 400-900 mm lifting range covers hospital bed heights (typically 400-500 mm), trolley transport height through corridors (700-800 mm), and refrigerator chamber heights (800-900 mm) on a single unit, supporting single-staff workflow at busy regional referral mortuaries.

For independent funeral homes, removal services, and private mortuary operators that contract for ward-collection workflows from hospitals and care facilities, the RD-801S, delivered through Medigear.uk, provides a covered transport trolley that meets operational requirements and supports family dignity during the collection workflow. The removable, washable cover supports infection-control cleaning between collections, and the foot-pedal operation enables single-operator collection from the removal vehicle to the ward to the refrigerator.

In mass-fatality response, pandemic-response, mortuary contingency stockpiles, and field-deployment scenarios where dignified covered body transport is the dignity-standard requirement during temporary mortuary operations, Medigear.uk supplies the RD-801S to coronial overflow teams, NHS contingency stockpiles, and trust deployment teams. The covered transport supports dignity standards even in high-throughput emergency response operations, and the single-operator foot-pedal workflow supports rapid deployment without two-operator staffing constraints.

Removable Washable Cover for Dignified Hospital Corridor Transport

The RD-801S's defining workflow feature is the removable, washable stainless steel cover, which provides dignified containment of the body during transport through hospital corridors, with public and family visibility. The cover upholds trust and dignity standards throughout the ward-to-mortuary collection workflow, during which the body passes through patient- and family-visible spaces in transit. The cover frame is easy to disassemble for cleaning, and the cover itself is removable and washable (replaceable) for infection-control cleaning between transport operations.

Foot Pedal Lift System for Single-Operator Workflow

The foot-pedal hydraulic-style lift system supports single-operator workflow — the brochure features 2 explicitly notes that "the operator can easily operate and transfer the body to the cadaver refrigerator". One staff member can collect a deceased patient from a hospital ward bed, transport through the hospital corridor system, and transfer to the mortuary refrigerator chamber without requiring two-operator coordination. This is the operational distinction from the RD-800S sibling's bilateral hand-start two-operator design.

400-900 mm Lifting Range for Complete Ward-to-Morgue Workflow

The 400-900 mm lifting height range covers the complete ward-to-morgue workflow on a single unit: hospital bed heights at 400-500 mm for body collection from the bed surface, trolley transport heights at 700-800 mm for ergonomic handling during corridor transit, and refrigerator chamber heights at 800-900 mm for transfer at the destination. The 500 mm working range eliminates lateral lifting at any stage of the workflow.

160 mm Swivel Castors With Brakes for Hospital Corridor Mobility

The 160 mm swivel castors with brakes support easier mobility across hospital corridor flooring and clinical-area thresholds than the smaller 150 mm castors on the RD-800S sibling. The swivel design supports tighter manoeuvring around corners and through doorways typical of hospital corridor layouts, and the brake configuration provides stable positioning during loading and transfer for safe single-staff workflow.

Heavy-Duty Stainless Steel Roller Frame Construction

The brochure feature 3 specifies a heavy-duty stainless steel roller frame with height adjustment via foot pedal — supporting sustained-use applications across daily ward-to-morgue collection workflows. The robust frame structure supports the foot-pedal lift mechanism without flex or wear typical of lighter-duty roller frame designs.

Hospital-to-Morgue Specific Workflow Engineering

The brochure features 1 explicitly identifies the RD-801S workflow as "transport from the hospital's ward to the morgue" — positioning the unit specifically for the ward-collection workflow rather than as a general-purpose transfer trolley. The combination of cover (dignity), foot-pedal lift (single-operator), 400-900 mm range (hospital bed to refrigerator), and 160 mm swivel castors (hospital corridor mobility) is purpose-engineered for this specific use case.

30 × 30 mm 304 SS Tube Frame With One-Piece Welding

The frame is constructed from 30 × 30 mm 304 stainless steel tubes welded into a single piece using the drawing process, providing structural rigidity within the height adjustment range and supporting smooth, seamless construction across the welded frame. The one-piece welding eliminates intermediate joints that would otherwise harbour contamination, supporting routine disinfection across the frame structure.

Single-Operator Capability for Lean Staffing Models

The foot-pedal lift mechanism specifically supports single-operator workflow, where one staff member completes the entire ward-to-morgue collection — particularly valuable for trust mortuary services operating with lean staffing models, funeral home removal services where single-operator collection is the contracted workflow, and out-of-hours coverage where two-operator staffing is not available.

Removable Washable Stainless Steel Cover

The trolley carries a removable stainless steel cover frame that is easy to disassemble, with a removable, washable (replaceable) cover surface. The cover provides dignified containment of the body during transport through hospital corridors.

Foot-Pedal Hydraulic-Style Lift System

The lift system uses a heavy-duty stainless steel roller frame with foot-pedal-operated height adjustment — supporting a single-operator workflow in which the operator operates the foot pedal while controlling the trolley with their hands.

400-900 mm Lifting Height Range

The lifting height adjusts between 400 mm and 900 mm via the foot-pedal lift system — a 500 mm working range covering hospital bed heights, corridor transport heights, and refrigerator chamber heights on a single unit.

Full 304 Stainless Steel Construction

All components — frame, cover, lift mechanism, and caster mountings — are constructed in 304 stainless steel, supporting routine chlorine-based disinfection and sustained moisture exposure typical of mortuary operations.

30 × 30 mm 304 SS Tubes Welded in One Piece

The frame is constructed from 30 × 30 mm 304 stainless steel tubes welded into a single piece using the drawing process — providing seamless construction without intermediate joints and structural rigidity throughout the height adjustment range.

160 mm Swivel Castors With Brakes

The trolley moves on 4 × 160 mm swivel castors with brakes — supporting tight manoeuvring through hospital corridors and stable positioning during loading and transfer.

Single-Operator Workflow Capability

The brochure features 2 explicitly identifies single-operator capability — one staff member can complete the entire ward-to-morgue collection and transfer workflow without requiring two-operator coordination.

Hospital-to-Morgue Workflow Engineering

The brochure features 1 explicitly identifies the unit for "transport from the hospital's ward to the morgue" — purpose-engineered for the ward-collection workflow rather than as a general-purpose transfer trolley.

Heavy-Duty Stainless Steel Roller Frame

The brochure features a 3-specifies heavy-duty stainless steel roller frame construction that supports the foot-pedal lift mechanism in sustained-use applications.

1940 × 650 mm Top Surface Dimensions

The top surface measures 1940 × 650 mm — the 1940 mm length matches the universal Roundfin body tray dimension, supporting workflow integration by allowing bodies on the universal tray to be placed onto the trolley top surface.

660-1010 mm Overall Height Range

The overall product height adjusts between 660 mm and 1010 mm via the foot-pedal lift, with the working lifting height range from 400 mm to 900 mm.

Plywood Case Packaging at 1970 × 700 × 790 mm

The trolley ships in a plywood case with packing dimensions of 1970 × 700 × 790 mm — providing freight protection during international and bulk-trust delivery.

Suited for Mortuary, Forensic, Anatomy, and Medical College Use

Applications cover mortuary services, forensic examination, anatomy teaching, and medical college dissection — matching the brochure's explicit application list for the corpse transfer trolley product category.
