Roundfin RD-B-12

In regional hospital walk-in cold room and main mortuary placements, the RD-B-12 delivered through Medigear.uk supports high-density twelve-body holding within existing refrigerated environments. NHS Estates teams sourcing through Medigear.uk specify the rack for university teaching hospital walk-in cold rooms, regional referral centre mortuaries, and large hospital trust body-holding facilities where twelve-body capacity in a single integrated rack unit supports HTM 20-04 mortuary refrigeration capacity planning at tertiary-care scale, achieving higher density than multiple four-body or six-body racks placed side-by-side would deliver.

In pathology and coronial workflows operating from large walk-in cold-room infrastructure, the RD-B-12 supports twelve-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-12 to the RD-6 refrigerator chamber, then to the lifting trolley, and finally to the walk-in rack on the same tray without re-handling, supporting straight-through pathology and coronial workflow across mixed equipment fleets at regional referral scale.

For large funeral-services groups, regional removal operators, and multi-branch funeral businesses operating walk-in cold rooms at central preparation facilities, the RD-B-12, delivered through Medigear.uk, provides the equivalent capacity of three four-body RD-B-04 racks in a single integrated unit at a higher density. The 400 mm vertical tier spacing supports rapid staff access across all twelve body positions, and the wide-grid configuration supports parallel multi-staff body handling during throughput peaks.

In regional mass-fatality response, pandemic-response, large-scale disaster contingency, and outdoor temporary mortuary stand-up scenarios, Medigear.uk supplies the RD-B-12 to regional coronial overflow teams, trust contingency stockpiles, and emergency mortuary deployment operations. The single-rack, twelve-body capacity supports rapid scaling of body-holding capacity within large tented cold rooms, refrigerated containers, and stand-up temporary mortuary facilities — particularly valuable where multiple smaller racks would exceed the available floor area or require additional inter-rack handling pathways.

Twelve-Body Capacity in a Single Integrated Rack Unit

The RD-B-12's defining structural feature is its twelve-body capacity in a four-bay-wide, three-tier-tall grid configuration — delivering the equivalent capacity of three four-body RD-B-04 racks in a single integrated unit. The single-rack format eliminates the inter-rack handling pathways required when multiple smaller racks are deployed side by side, thereby supporting higher floor-area efficiency and faster staff workflow at the regional mortuary scale.

Universal Roundfin Tray Compatibility Across Full Range

The RD-B-12'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), the RD-B-04 storage rack, lifting trolleys, and walk-in racks. A body is transferred from the RD-B-12 storage rack to a Roundfin refrigerator chamber, then to a lifting trolley on the same tray, without re-handling. This straight-through compatibility is why we recommend pairing the rack with the wider Roundfin equipment range.

High-Density Body Holding Without Standalone Refrigeration

The RD-B-12 provides a twelve-body holding capacity in walk-in cold rooms or temporary refrigerated environments at a lower capital cost than a twelve-body-equivalent standalone refrigerator would. Trusts that have already commissioned regional walk-in cold-room infrastructure can increase body-holding capacity through passive racking rather than by buying more refrigerators, supporting capital discipline across multi-site mortuary networks at a tertiary-care scale.

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 Twelve Positions

Each of the twelve trays carries a static and dynamic working load of 200 kg/441 lbs — matching the per-tray capacity of the RD-B-04 sibling and the standalone Roundfin refrigerator range exactly. Total combined rack capacity is 2400 kg across twelve positions, supporting standard-population body holding at regional referral scale 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-12 ships flat-packed for on-site customer assembly, reducing freight volume by approximately 70% compared to assembled-rack delivery. The reduced volume supports rapid deployment into walk-in cold rooms where doorway constraints would prevent delivery of assembled racks, and the flat-pack delivery model reduces transport costs per rack — particularly valuable for regional contingency stockpiles, where multiple twelve-body racks are deployed simultaneously across regional sites.

Selectable Foot Configuration for Mobility or Permanence

The RD-B-12 ships with a selectable foot configuration at order: optional 100 mm / 4-inch universal castors with brakes for empty-rack repositioning within the host cold room, or fixed, stable feet for permanent positioning under the 2400 kg sustained load weight. Braked castors support rack repositioning during cold-room reconfiguration cycles; fixed feet provide maximum stability for permanent installations. Medigear.uk specifies the foot configuration at the time of order placement.

Regional Mass-Fatality Response and Contingency Capability

The flat-pack delivery model, twelve-body capacity per rack, universal tray compatibility, and 304 stainless construction together make the RD-B-12 the natural specification for regional mass-fatality response stockpiles, pandemic-response contingency stores at trust scale, and outdoor temporary mortuary stand-up operations. Medigear.uk supplies racks to trust contingency stores under bulk-order arrangements, with documented response-time SLAs covering deployment, assembly support, and ongoing service.

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-12 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 under fixed-price agreements. Government Supply Ready documentation supports public-sector tender response for NHS, coronial, and university anatomy procurement frameworks.

Twelve Body Trays in Four-Bay-Wide Three-Tier Grid Configuration

The RD-B-12 holds twelve body trays arranged in a four-bay-wide, three-tier-tall grid configuration within the 2000 × 1900 × 1800 mm rack footprint. Each tray position is accessed independently from the front of the rack and accepts one 1940 × 580 mm body tray rated to 200 kg.

200 kg Per-Tray Load Capacity (441 lbs)

Each of the twelve body trays carries a static and dynamic working load of 200 kg/441 lbs, supporting standard-population body holding across the full twelve-tray rack. Total combined capacity is 2400 kg.

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, the RD-B-04 sibling, lifting trolleys, and walk-in racks. Straight-through body transfer between equipment without re-handling.

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 across the larger twelve-tray rack.

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-bay-wide three-tier grid and corrosion resistance under sustained cold-room operation. The robust frame tubing carries the rated 2400 kg total load without flex.

400 mm Vertical Space Between Each Tier

Vertical spacing between each of the three tiers is 400 mm — matching the RD-B-04 sibling exactly. The spacing supports staff access across all twelve body positions without disturbing adjacent tiers and 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.

1950 × 650 mm Per-Layer Footprint Per Tray Bay

Each tray bay measures 1950 × 650 mm — sized to accept the 1940 × 580 mm body tray with margin for tray engagement and runner access. The four-bay-wide arrangement defines the rack's 1900 mm overall width, including the frame structure between bays.

Optional 100 mm Universal Castors With Brakes

Foot configuration option: 100 mm (4-inch) universal castors with brakes for empty-rack mobility within the host cold room. Castors lock individually when the rack reaches its operating position—recommended for installations requiring periodic repositioning during cold-room reconfiguration cycles.

Optional Fixed Stable Feet for Permanent Installation

Alternative foot configuration: fixed stable feet for permanent rack positioning. Recommended for installations under sustained heavy load, given the 2400 kg total loaded weight when the rack is fully populated.

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 compared to assembled units. Customer-assembled installation typically takes two to three hours per rack with standard hand tools, given the twelve-position grid configuration.

Customisation Across Layers, Tray Size, Material, and Shape

Roundfin offers RD-B-12 customisation across layer count (more or fewer than the standard three tiers), body tray sizes (wider for bariatric body holding), material specifications, and rack shape configurations, including narrower or wider grid arrangements. 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, with the plywood crate as the standard option given the larger freight volume relative to the RD-B-04 sibling and the additional protection required for the twelve-position grid components.

Compatible With Full Roundfin Equipment Range

The 1940 × 580 mm body tray on the RD-B-12 is interchangeable with body trays from any Roundfin mortuary refrigerator (RD-1 through RD-9), the RD-B-04 storage rack, the lifting trolley, and the walk-in rack. Trusts running mixed Roundfin equipment fleets can pool tray inventory across the storage and refrigerator ranges without friction from dimension mismatches.

The Roundfin RD-B-12 mortuary storage rack supplied through Medigear.uk delivers a twelve-body passive body holding solution constructed in 304 stainless steel — engineered for regional hospital walk-in cold rooms, university teaching hospital body-holding facilities, large funeral-services group preparation rooms, regional mass-fatality contingency, and outdoor temporary mortuary stand-up operations 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, customisation across layers and tray size, and Medigear.uk distributor support, the RD-B-12 meets NHS Estates procurement, distributor framework, and direct funeral-services capital purchase requirements.
