Roundfin RD-GT2

In hospital mortuary placements where body-holding workflows require fluid containment without active drainage during the procedure, the RD-GT2, delivered through Medigear.uk, supports the groove plate form with bilateral large handles at a lower procurement cost than its drainage-active sibling, the RD-GT1. NHS Estates teams sourcing through Medigear.uk specify the RD-GT2 alongside RD-FT universal trays and RD-GT1 drainage trays in the standard mortuary tray procurement set — balancing universal body-holding, fluid containment, and active drainage capabilities across the trust's mortuary tray inventory.

In pathology and forensic workflows that operate intermediate body holding between washing operations, the RD-GT2 supports fluid containment during the holding interval without requiring the drainage water hole provided by the RD-GT1. The groove plate form contains incidental fluid release during body movement and transport, supporting infection-control protocols while simplifying the post-procedure cleaning routine compared with the integrated water hole on the RD-GT1.

For independent funeral homes and funeral-services groups where body holding involves brief intermediate stages between transport, refrigeration, preparation, and viewing, the RD-GT2, delivered through Medigear.uk, provides the groove-containment specification with large bilateral handles that support two-staff carry workflows. The two-handle configuration leaves the long sides clear for two-staff access during body positioning, and the universal 1940 × 580 mm dimension supports straight-through transfer between preparation tables and Roundfin equipment.

In mass-fatality response, pandemic response, mortuary contingency stockpiles, and field deployment operations where body trays must function in mixed-workflow scenarios, the RD-GT2 supports body holding with mild fluid containment during transport between sites, intermediate holding inside refrigerated containers, and routine body transfer operations. Medigear.uk supplies the trays to coronial overflow teams and trust contingency stockpiles as part of the standard mortuary tray procurement set.

Groove Plate Form Without Water Hole for Containment Workflows

The RD-GT2's defining specification is the groove plate form provided without an integrated water hole — distinguishing it from the RD-GT1 drainage tray. The groove channel formed into the plate contains fluids during body-holding and transport workflows, where active drainage during the procedure is not required, supporting infection-control protocols while removing the integrated water hole from the cleaning and disinfection routine.

Lower Procurement Cost Than the Drainage-Active RD-GT1

The absence of the integrated water hole removes a manufacturing step from the RD-GT2 production process — supporting lower procurement cost than the equivalent RD-GT1 specification at the same thickness variant. For workflows where active drainage isn't required, the RD-GT2 offers the groove plate and bilateral large handles at a lower cost, supporting capital discipline across multi-case mortuary tray procurement orders.

Two Large Bilateral Handles for Two-Staff Carry Workflows

The RD-GT2 carries two large SUS304 stainless steel handles (450 × 105 mm each) on the narrow sides — matching the RD-GT1 drainage tray exactly. The large bilateral handles support a firm two-staff grip during body carries between preparation areas, refrigerator chambers, storage racks, and lifting trolleys. The bilateral configuration leaves the long sides clear for two-staff body access during positioning.

Three SUS304 Thickness Variants Matching the Full Tray Family

The RD-GT2 ships in three SUS304 stainless steel thickness variants — 1.0 mm, 1.2 mm, and 1.5 mm — with corresponding rated load capacities of 150 kg, 180 kg, and 230 kg, respectively. The thickness ladder matches the RD-FT universal default and the RD-GT1 drainage tray exactly, supporting trust standardisation on a single thickness specification across mixed-variant tray inventory.

Maintains Universal Roundfin Equipment Compatibility

Despite the groove plate form, the RD-GT2 maintains the universal Roundfin 1940 × 580 mm dimensions — meaning the tray loads into every Roundfin mortuary refrigerator chamber, storage rack tier, and lifting trolley position. The 40 mm edge height (vs the RD-FT's 50 mm) does not impact equipment compatibility. Dual-use beyond the groove containment application is supported across the full Roundfin equipment range.

SUS304 Stainless Steel Construction Throughout

Construction is SUS304 stainless steel throughout — tray plate, handles, and edge structure — and tolerates routine chlorine-based wipe-down, hospital-grade chlorhexidine, isopropanol disinfection, and intermittent fluid exposure typical of body-holding workflows without surface degradation.

Simpler Cleaning Routine Without an Integrated Water Hole

The RD-GT2's groove plate without a water hole supports a simpler cleaning and disinfection routine than the RD-GT1 drainage tray — no integrated drainage pathway to clean and disinfect between uses. Some infection-control protocols at the trust-level of governance prefer the simpler tray architecture, particularly for workflows where active drainage is not required, and the integrated water hole would create an unnecessary cleaning surface.

Pairs With RD-FT and RD-GT1 in the Standard Procurement Set

For trusts running mixed Roundfin equipment fleets, the standard mortuary tray procurement set combines RD-FT universal trays as primary body-holding inventory with RD-GT1 drainage trays and RD-GT2 containment trays as speciality inventory. The three-variant set offers the full workflow capability ladder—universal holding, groove containment, active drainage—at procurement costs that match each workflow's actual requirement.

Groove-Plate Body Tray Without Water Hole

The RD-GT2 is the groove-plate body tray variant in the Roundfin Morgue Series tray family — sized to the universal Roundfin 1940 × 580 × 40 mm length and width dimensions, with a drainage channel formed into the plate that provides fluid containment without integrated water-hole drainage.

Three SUS304 Stainless Steel Thickness Variants

The RD-GT2 ships in three thickness variants: 1.0 mm for a 150 kg load rating, 1.2 mm for a 180 kg load rating, and 1.5 mm for a 230 kg load rating. All three variants share the 1940 × 580 × 40 mm dimensions, a 2-handle bilateral configuration, and SUS304 stainless-steel construction.

Two Bilateral Large Handles (450 × 105 mm Each)

Each tray carries two large SUS304 stainless steel handles — one on each narrow side, measuring 450 × 105 mm. The large bilateral configuration supports a firm two-staff grip during body carries.

Universal 1940 × 580 mm Tray Length and Width

The tray measures 1940 × 580 mm in length and width — Roundfin's universal dimension shared across the full mortuary refrigerator range, storage racks, lifting trolleys, walk-in racks, and lifting tables.

40 mm Edge Height for Fluid Containment

The 40 mm edge height accommodates fluids in routine body-holding workflows without restricting access during preparation or transfer operations.

SUS304 Stainless Steel Construction Throughout

Tray plate, handles, and edge structure are constructed in SUS304 stainless steel — tolerating routine chlorine-based disinfection, hospital-grade chlorhexidine, isopropanol, and intermittent fluid exposure without surface degradation.

150 kg Load Capacity at 1.0 mm Thickness

The 1.0 mm-thick RD-GT2 carries a 150 kg static and dynamic working load — suited to standard-population body holding within cost-sensitive procurement specifications.

180 kg Load Capacity at 1.2 mm Thickness

The 1.2 mm-thick RD-GT2 carries a 180 kg static and dynamic working load — the standard NHS Trust procurement default for routine groove-containment body-holding workflows.

230 kg Load Capacity at 1.5 mm Thickness

The 1.5 mm-thick RD-GT2 carries a 230 kg static and dynamic working load — supporting bariatric body handling and forensic pathology applications where structural rigidity under heavy loading is required.

Compatible With Full Roundfin Morgue Series Equipment Range

Despite the specialised groove plate form, the tray remains interchangeable across the full Roundfin mortuary refrigerator range, storage racks, lifting trolleys, and walk-in racks. Dual-use capability for both groove-containment workflows and routine body holding in refrigerators is maintained.

8-Pieces-Per-Case Export Plywood Packaging

Trays ship in export-quality plywood cases at 8 pieces per case, with packing dimensions of 2010 × 610 × 800 mm and a gross weight of 150 kg/net weight of 135 kg per case across all three thickness variants.

Pairs With RD-FT and RD-GT1 in Standard Procurement Set

The RD-GT2 is the groove-containment speciality inventory in the standard Roundfin mortuary tray procurement set — typically paired with RD-FT universal trays and RD-GT1 drainage trays at trust-level procurement, with the mix depending on the trust's workflow balance.
