Roundfin RD-B-04

In hospital walk-in cold rooms and main mortuary placements, the RD-B-04, delivered through Medigear.uk, supports high-density four-body holding within existing refrigerated environments. NHS Estates teams sourcing through Medigear.uk are specifying racks for district general hospital walk-in cold rooms. The trust has already commissioned the cold-room infrastructure. It needs body-holding capacity at a lower capital cost than additional standalone refrigerators, aligning with HTM 20-04 mortuary refrigeration capacity planning across the trust estate.

In pathology and coronial workflows operating from walk-in cold-room infrastructure, the RD-B-04 supports four-body holding alongside Roundfin standalone refrigerators in the same workflow. The universal 1940 × 580 mm tray dimension means you can transfer a body from the RD-B-04 to the RD-6 refrigerator chamber, then to the lifting trolley and to the walk-in rack on the same tray without re-handling, supporting straight-through pathology and coronial workflow without dimension-mismatch friction across mixed equipment fleets.

For independent funeral-services groups operating walk-in cold rooms at central preparation facilities, the RD-B-04, delivered through Medigear.uk, provides higher-density body storage than standalone refrigerator stacking would allow. The 400 mm vertical tier spacing enables rapid staff access across all four bodies without the need for lifting equipment for routine transfers. Optional braked castors allow the rack to be repositioned within the cold room as workflow patterns evolve.

In mass-fatality response, pandemic-response, regional disaster contingency, and outdoor temporary mortuary stand-up scenarios, Medigear.uk supplies the RD-B-04 to coronial overflow teams, trust contingency stores, and emergency mortuary deployment operations. The flat-pack, assembled-on-site delivery model supports rapid scaling of body-holding capacity within tented cold rooms, refrigerated containers, and stand-up temporary mortuary facilities without requiring the transport of a standalone refrigerator. Customer-assembled installation completes in under an hour per rack.

Universal Roundfin Tray Compatibility Across Full Range

The RD-B-04's 1940 × 580 mm body tray dimensions match Roundfin's universal dimensions exactly, shared across the entire mortuary refrigerator range (RD-1 through RD-9), lifting trolleys, and walk-in racks. A body is transferred from the RD-B-04 storage rack to a Roundfin refrigerator chamber, then to a lifting trolley on the same tray, without re-handling. The straight-through compatibility is the operational reason we recommend pairing the rack with the refrigerator range.

High-Density Four-Body Holding Without Standalone Refrigeration

The RD-B-04 provides four-body holding capacity inside walk-in cold rooms or temporary refrigerated environments at a lower capital cost than standalone refrigerator equivalents. If you have already commissioned walk-in cold-room infrastructure, you can increase body-holding capacity with passive racking rather than buying more refrigerators, thereby supporting capital discipline across multi-site mortuary networks. The 400 mm tier spacing maximises vertical density without compromising staff access.

304 Stainless Steel Construction Throughout

The rack is constructed from 304 stainless steel throughout — 1.5 mm tray thickness, 38 × 38 mm frame tubing — and tolerates routine chlorine-based wipe-down, hospital-grade chlorhexidine, and isopropanol disinfection without surface degradation under sustained cold-room operation. A 316 stainless steel upgrade is available through Medigear.uk for installations facing chloride exposure, aggressive forensic chemistry, or coastal-air corrosion risk.

200 kg Per-Tray Load Capacity Across All Four Tiers

Each of the four trays carries a static and dynamic working load of 200 kg/441 lbs — matching the per-tray capacity of the standalone Roundfin refrigerator range exactly. Total combined rack capacity is 800 kg across four tiers, supporting standard-population body holding with substantial structural margin. The 38 × 38 mm 304 stainless steel frame tubing carries the rated load without flex under sustained operation.

Flat-Pack Customer Assembly Reduces Freight Volume

The RD-B-04 ships flat-packed for on-site assembly, reducing freight volume by approximately 70% compared with assembled refrigerator units. The reduced volume supports rapid deployment into walk-in cold rooms where access constraints would prevent delivery of assembled racks, and the flat-pack delivery model reduces transport costs per rack — particularly valuable for bulk-order contingency stockpiles where multiple racks are deployed simultaneously across regional sites.

Selectable Foot Configuration for Mobility or Permanence

The RD-B-04 ships with selectable foot configuration at order: optional 100 mm / 4-inch universal castors with brakes for mobility within the host cold room, or fixed stable feet for permanent positioning. Braked castors support rack repositioning during cold-room reconfiguration or deep-clean cycles; fixed feet provide maximum stability for permanent installations. Medigear.uk specifies the foot configuration at the time of order placement based on the procurement use case.

Mass-Fatality Response and Temporary Mortuary Deployment Capability

The RD-B-04's flat-pack delivery, four-body capacity per rack, universal tray compatibility, and 304 stainless construction make it the natural choice for outdoor temporary mortuary stand-ups, mass-fatality contingency stockpiles, and pandemic-response deployments. Medigear.uk supplies racks to trust contingency stores under bulk-order arrangements, with documented response-time SLAs covering deployment, assembly support, and ongoing service.

Customisation Across Layers, Tray Size, Material, and Shape

Roundfin offers RD-B-04 customisation across layer count, body tray sizes, material specifications, and rack shape configurations. The customisation flexibility supports niche placement requirements — taller racks for tall-ceiling walk-in cold rooms, lower racks for low-ceiling contingency tents, wider trays for bariatric body holding. Medigear.uk handles OEM specification and bulk-order coordination for distributor partners.

Verified Supplier OEM and AMC Support for Distributor Buyers

Medigear.uk offers verified supplier OEM rebranding, sample approval, and bulk-order coordination for distributor partners purchasing the RD-B-04 for integration into broader clinical equipment frameworks. AMC support is available through Medigear.uk's network of engineers for distributor-route placements that require ongoing service cover. Government Supply Ready documentation supports public-sector tender response for NHS, coronial, and university anatomy procurement frameworks.

Four Vertically-Stacked Body Tray Tiers

The RD-B-04 holds four body trays arranged in a vertically-stacked four-tier configuration within the 1980 × 660 × 2100 mm rack footprint. Each tier is accessed independently from the front of the rack and accepts a single 1940 × 580 mm body tray rated at 200 kg.

200 kg Per-Tray Load Capacity (441 lbs)

Each of the four body trays carries a static and dynamic working load of 200 kg/441 lbs, supporting standard-population body holding across the full four-tier rack. Total combined capacity is 800 kg across the four trays.

1940 × 580 mm Universal Body Tray Dimension

Body trays measure 1940 × 580 mm (76.4 × 22.8 in) — Roundfin's universal dimension shared across the full mortuary refrigerator range, lifting trolleys, and walk-in racks. Straight-through body transfer between equipment without re-handling reduces the number of body movements per case.

1.5 mm Body Tray Thickness in 304 Stainless Steel

Body trays are constructed in 1.5 mm 304 stainless steel — providing structural rigidity under the 200 kg per-tray load while tolerating routine chlorine-based wipe-down and hospital-grade disinfection without surface degradation.

38 × 38 mm 304 Stainless Steel Frame Tubing

The rack frame is constructed from 38 × 38 mm 304 stainless steel tubing throughout, providing structural rigidity across the four-tier stack and corrosion resistance under sustained cold-room operation. The robust frame tubing carries the rated load without flex.

400 mm Vertical Space Between Each Tier

Vertical spacing between each of the four tiers is 400 mm, supporting staff access across all four body positions without disturbing adjacent tiers. The spacing accommodates body transfer trolleys at any tier level.

Outlay Handle or Slot Body Tray Handles

Body tray handles are configured as outlet handles or slots based on the operator's preference at the time of order. Outlay handles support firm two-handed grip during body transfer; slot handles support compact tray storage when not in active use. Medigear.uk specifies the handle configuration at the time of order placement.

1950 × 650 mm Per-Layer Footprint

Each rack layer measures 1950 × 650 mm — sized to accept the 1940 × 580 mm body tray with margin for tray engagement and runner access. The per-layer footprint defines the rack's minimum aisle width within the host walk-in cold room.

Optional 100 mm Universal Castors With Brakes

Foot configuration option: 100 mm (4-inch) universal castors with brakes for mobility within the host cold room. Castors lock individually when the rack reaches its operating position, holding it stable during body transfer across all four tiers.

Optional Fixed Stable Feet for Permanent Installation

Alternative foot configuration: fixed stable feet for permanent rack positioning. The fixed-foot option provides maximum stability for permanent installations and removes the castor-failure category entirely from the maintenance schedule.

304 Stainless Steel Material Standard (316 Optional)

The rack is constructed in 304 stainless steel throughout as standard. A 316 stainless steel material upgrade is available for order through Medigear.uk for chloride exposure, aggressive forensic chemistry, or coastal-air corrosion-risk placements.

Flat-Pack Customer Assembly on Site

The rack ships flat-packed for on-site assembly from supplied components, reducing freight volume by approximately 70% compared with assembled units. Customer-assembled installation completes in under an hour per rack with standard hand tools.

Customisation Across Layers, Tray Size, Material, and Shape

Roundfin offers RD-B-04 customisation across layer count (more or fewer than the standard four tiers), body tray sizes (wider for bariatric body holding), material specifications, and rack shape configurations. Medigear.uk handles OEM specifications for distributors and trusts bulk orders.

Standard Export Packaging or Plywood Crate

The rack ships in standard export packaging or a plywood crate, depending on the freight destination. The flat-pack model reduces packaging volume compared with assembled refrigerator units and enables rapid handling during mass-fatality response deployment scenarios.

Compatible With Roundfin Refrigerator Range Trays

The 1940 × 580 mm body tray on the RD-B-04 is interchangeable with body trays from any Roundfin mortuary refrigerator (RD-1 through RD-9) and lifting trolley. If you run mixed Roundfin equipment fleets, you can pool tray inventory across the storage rack and refrigerator range without friction due to dimensional mismatches.

The Roundfin RD-B-04 mortuary storage rack supplied through Medigear.uk delivers a four-tier passive body holding solution constructed in 304 stainless steel — engineered for walk-in cold rooms, hospital body-holding facilities, outdoor temporary mortuary stand-up operations, and mass-fatality response contingency placements across the public and private clinical estate. The universal 1940 × 580 mm tray dimension integrates with the rack, the full Roundfin mortuary refrigerator range, lifting trolleys, and walk-in racks for a straight-through body transfer workflow without re-handling. With ISO 9001 manufacturing, full 304 stainless steel construction, optional braked-castor mobility, and Medigear.uk distributor support, the RD-B-04 meets NHS Estates procurement, distributor framework, and direct funeral-services capital purchase requirements.
