Roundfin RD-N

In small funeral parlour and family-run funeral business placements, the RD-N delivered through Medigear.uk solves the two-procurement problem that small operators typically face — buying a mortuary refrigerator from one supplier and a transport trolley from another, with neither vendor providing integrated workflow guidance for the combined operation. The bundled supply combines both items into a single set of documentation, warranty route, and Medigear.uk service contact, making capital procurement easier for sub-five-employee funeral businesses.

For repatriation, removal, and body-transport service specialists, the RD-N's bundled foldable trolley supports the full workflow from hospital, hospice, nursing home, or private residence pickup, through vehicle transport to the funeral home, to in-house refrigerated holding, to viewing-room presentation, and finally to coffin transfer for funeral service. The single tray dimension across the cabinet and trolley supports straight-through transfer at every workflow step.

In rural community hospital and remote NHS mortuary annexe placements where dedicated lifting equipment and walk-in racks aren't justified by annual deaths-per-bed footfall, the RD-N provides the minimum viable mortuary refrigeration capability with an integrated body-transfer trolley in a single delivery. Medigear.uk pre-delivery survey confirms doorway clearance and vehicle access ahead of dispatch to remote sites.

In mass-fatality response, training exercise, and contingency deployment scenarios, the bundled RD-N supports rapid-deployment single-body capacity with on-board transfer capability without requiring separate equipment procurement. The plug-and-set commissioning, four-mode alarm system covering high temperature, low temperature, door open, and power failure, the foldable trolley for vehicle stowage, and the universal Roundfin tray dimension together support standalone deployment at incident scenes.

Refrigerator and Trolley in a Single Procurement

The RD-N's defining advantage is the bundle itself: a single-body mortuary refrigerator and a foldable mortuary stretcher trolley supplied together under one purchase order, one documentation pack, and one Medigear.uk service contact. Small funeral parlour operators, repatriation specialists, and rural community placements that would otherwise purchase refrigerators and trolleys from separate suppliers get consolidated capital procurement and consolidated aftercare on day one.

CE Certified and ISO 9001 Manufactured for NHS Procurement

The RD-N ships with CE marking under the EU Medical Device Regulation framework, ISO 9001 quality-system manufacturing, IEC 60601-1 electrical safety, and IEC 60335-2-89 commercial refrigeration compliance — the same documentation set as the larger units in the Roundfin range. NHS Estates procurement frameworks, HTM 20-04 audit, and CQC inspection evidence remain consistent. Medigear.uk holds the UK importer registration with the MHRA for both the refrigerator and the trolley.

Universal Tray Dimension Across Cabinet, Trolley, and Range

The 1940 × 580 mm body tray dimension is shared exactly across the RD-N cabinet, the bundled foldable trolley, and the larger RD-1, RD-2S, RD-3S, lifting trolley, and walk-in rack range. A body is transferred from the vehicle to the bundled trolley, then to the RD-N chamber, and finally to the viewing-room bier on the same tray, without re-handling at any step. This straight-through workflow justifies the procurement position for the bundle.

Hydraulic Foot-Pedal Lift Range From 400 mm to 900 mm

The trolley's hydraulic lift provides a 400–900 mm height range that matches three workflow-critical heights: typical hearse loading deck (400 mm), RD-N cabinet door height (mid-range), and viewing-room bier height (900 mm). Foot-pedal operation keeps the operator's hands free for handling the body. The combination of range and hands-free operation supports a single-operator workflow that traditional fixed-height stretchers cannot deliver.

Plug-and-Set Refrigerator Commissioning Without Engineering

The RD-N refrigerator ships fully assembled, pre-charged with refrigerant, and reaches setpoint within three to five hours of first power-up. No F-Gas qualified site engineering is required at installation. The plug-and-set workflow, combined with the immediately deployable trolley, means a small funeral business can take delivery of the bundle on Monday and run a full pickup-to-viewing workflow by Wednesday. Medigear.uk provides commissioning support.

Foldable Trolley for Vehicle Stowage

The bundled trolley folds for stowage in hearses, removal vans, and repatriation vehicles, reducing the deck-space footprint during the return journey. The fold mechanism addresses the volume constraint typical of small-fleet funeral operations, where the same vehicle carries pickup equipment, coffins, and personal effects in sequence—the trolley redeploys in seconds for the next pickup or delivery.

Verified Supplier OEM and Bulk-Order Support for Distributors

Medigear.uk offers verified supplier OEM rebranding for refrigerators and trolleys separately, helping distributor partners build a complete mortuary equipment portfolio. We offer bulk-order coordination, sample approval, and AMC support for distributor framework purchases. Government Supply Ready documentation supports public-sector tender responses across both bundle components, helping you expand your distributor portfolio coverage with a single product reference.

Direct-Buyer Funeral Business Procurement With Full Documentation

For independent funeral parlour buyers, removal-service specialists, and repatriation operators purchasing direct rather than through hospital procurement, Medigear.uk supplies the RD-N with the full Declaration of Conformity, CE certification pack, electrical safety test report, and warranty documentation required for funeral-services insurance and trade-body audit. The bundled supply consolidates both refrigerator and trolley documentation into a single folder, reducing administrative friction for direct buyers.

Compact 600 mm Cabinet Depth Suits Small Placements.

The 600 mm cabinet depth and 2280 mm length suit narrow corridors, small mortuary annexes, and tight funeral parlour preparation rooms where deeper or wider units would not fit. The compact footprint, combined with the foldable trolley, means the complete RD-N bundle occupies less floor area at rest than many standalone mortuary refrigerators of equivalent capacity, enabling placement in genuinely small operational spaces.

Single Refrigeration Chamber

The RD-N holds one front-opening refrigeration chamber within the 2280 × 800 × 600 mm cabinet, with an inner room dimension of 1950 × 630 × 440 mm. The single chamber accepts one 1940 × 580 mm body tray rated to 200 kg static and dynamic load.

Bundled Foldable Six-Wheel Stretcher Trolley

The defining feature: a full 304 stainless steel mortuary stretcher trolley supplied with each RD-N unit, sized to match the refrigerator chamber's 1940 × 580 mm tray dimensions. The trolley uses a six-wheel configuration — four braked swivel castors at the corners for multi-directional manoeuvrability and two pivoting wheels mid-frame for stair-edge negotiation — and folds for vehicle stowage when not in use for transfer.

Trolley Hydraulic Foot-Pedal Lift: 400 mm to 900 mm

The trolley's hydraulic lift mechanism provides height adjustment from approximately 400 mm to 900 mm via foot-pedal operation. The range matches the hearse loading deck, the RD-N cabinet door height, and the viewing-room bier height on a single trolley.

One Germany SECOP Brand Compressor

Refrigeration is delivered by a single SECOP-brand compressor (Danfoss-owned Secop SC range), mounted on the back of the cabinet. Published service life is 8–10 years, with SECOP carrying a 5-year extended manufacturer warranty separate from the bed-level cover. Chinese-brand compressor substitution is available through Medigear.uk.

Back-Mounted Compressor Placement

Compressor placement on the back of the cabinet — matching the RD-1 sibling layout for rear-wall-adjacent positioning. The placement frees the cabinet top for accessory storage and keeps the installed depth contained when the refrigerator sits against a back wall.

Single Digital Temperature Controller

A single digital LED controller mounted on the front of the cabinet displays the current temperature, setpoint, and alarm status. The controller operates over the adjustable range of +5 °C to -15 °C with ±1 °C accuracy.

Factory Temperature Setting: 0 °C to -10 °C

The unit ships pre-configured at the standard 0 °C to -10 °C body-holding range, covering routine pre-PM, pre-release, and pre-funeral holding for the first five to seven days post-death.

Adjustable Temperature Range: +5 °C to -15 °C

The +5 °C upper limit supports viewing-temperature preparation; the -15 °C lower limit supports short-term preservation for delayed forensic, repatriation, and ceremonial-scheduling cases. Range configurable under digital control.

Temperature Accuracy: ±1 °C

Chamber temperature is held within ±1 °C of the controller setpoint across the full operating range, matching the larger RD-2S and RD-3S units to ensure consistent audit-trail stability across mixed-capacity placements.

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, the bundled trolley, separately supplied lifting trolleys, and walk-in racks—enabling cross-equipment workflow without re-handling.

Double-Row Nylon Slider Roller System

The cabinet tray slides on a double-row nylon roller system with seven rollers per side (14 rollers total). Maintenance-free nylon construction delivers low-friction pull-out for staff transfers and family viewing.

304 Stainless Steel Cabinet and Trolley Construction (316 Optional)

Cabinet, body tray, internal door surfaces, and bundled trolley are 304 stainless steel — outer skin 1.0 mm, body tray 1.0 mm, inner cabinet 0.6 mm. A 316 stainless steel upgrade is available for order through Medigear.uk.

100 mm Foamed-In-Place Environmental Urethane Insulation

Insulation is 100 mm of foamed-in-place urethane using a non-CFC blowing agent, applied via Roundfin's disposable single-use foam machinery for void-free coverage. The thickness matches the larger units in the range.

Lockable Door With One-Piece Seal and Replaceable Belt

The chamber door uses Roundfin's one-piece moulded seal rather than a multi-strip design, eliminating seam-trap contamination vectors. The seal belt is field-replaceable, and the door carries a key-operated mechanical lock with two spare keys supplied at delivery — supporting dignity, access-control, and safeguarding requirements at small-scale placement. Medigear.uk stocks UK spares for the seal belt.

Four-Mode Fault Alarm System

The alarm system detects high temperature, low temperature, long-time door opening, and power failure — the four failure modes audited under HTM 20-04 guidance. Audible and visual alarms at the cabinet front; an optional remote alarm relay is available.

Four Braked Castors on Refrigerator Plus Six-Wheel Braked Trolley

The refrigerator runs on four braked castors for mobility on the floor during commissioning, repositioning, and deep cleaning. The bundled trolley adds its own six-wheel braked configuration—total bundle mobility: ten braked wheels across the cabinet and trolley combined.

280 W / 1.2 A Power Consumption on Standard UK Mains

The refrigerator operates on standard UK 220–240 V 50 Hz single-phase mains via a 13 A socket, with a power consumption of 280 W / 1.2 A — matching the RD-1 sibling exactly. A 110 V / 60 Hz international variant is available for order.

The Roundfin RD-N mortuary refrigerator supplied through Medigear.uk delivers a single-body cooling solution bundled with a foldable mortuary stretcher trolley — engineered for small funeral parlours, repatriation services, rural community hospital annexes, and rapid-deployment contingency placements where acquisition of refrigeration and transport capability in a single procurement is the operational priority. The refrigerator core matches the RD-1 sibling on dimensions, compressor, controller, and certifications. At the same time, the bundled trolley adds the body-transfer workflow capability that small operators need on day one rather than as a separate procurement. With CE marking, ISO 9001 manufacturing, IEC compliance, and Medigear.UK MHRA importer routing, the RD-N meets NHS Estates procurement, distributor framework, and direct funeral business capital purchase requirements.
