Roundfin RD-ST1

In hospital mortuary placements operating bariatric body-holding workflows where standard 580 mm body trays are insufficient for larger body widths, the RD-ST1, delivered through Medigear.uk, supports the wider 680 mm and 760 mm plate variants alongside the standard 580 mm width. NHS Estates teams sourcing through Medigear.uk specify the RD-ST1 as the bariatric speciality inventory, alongside the RD-FT and RD-GT family universal and groove trays, to support HTM 20-04 mortuary capacity planning across the trust's tertiary-care mortuary network.

In forensic pathology and coronial workflows where heavy-duty body lifting and transport operations are routine, the RD-ST1 supports the higher load ratings (250–300 kg vs 150–230 kg on flat and groove plates) plus the four-buckle attachment configuration. The buckle handles serve as secure attachment points for lifting straps and lift system hooks, supporting safe body handling during extended transport, mortuary repositioning, and forensic examination workflows.

For independent funeral homes, removal operators, and embalming centres that regularly handle bariatric bodies or operate long-distance transport workflows, the RD-ST1 from Medigear.uk provides a heavy-duty speciality tray with deep-recessed well containment. The 70 mm sinking depth supports better body positioning during transport, and the bilateral four-buckle handle configuration enables secure tie-down to transport-vehicle anchors during long-distance body movement between sites.

In mass-fatality response, pandemic-response, and field-deployment scenarios where bariatric body-holding capacity must be deployed alongside standard body-holding, the RD-ST1 supports the wider plate variants and higher load ratings necessary for diverse-population body holding. Medigear.uk supplies trays to coronial overflow teams and trust contingency stockpiles as part of the bariatric speciality inventory in the broader mortuary tray procurement set.

Sinking Plate Form for Superior Body Positioning and Containment

The RD-ST1's defining specification is the sinking plate form — a 70 mm-deep recessed body-holding well into which the body sits, rather than the shallow plate surfaces on the RD-FT and RD-GT families. The recessed geometry provides superior lateral body positioning, prevents body movement during transport and handling, and contains fluids more effectively than the 40–50 mm edge heights on shallower plate variants. The sinking depth is the procurement-determining feature for forensic pathology and bariatric workflows.

Substantially Higher Load Ratings Than Flat and Groove Plate Trays

The RD-ST1 load ratings of 250 kg, 270 kg, and 300 kg are substantially higher than the 150 kg, 180 kg, and 230 kg ratings on equivalent RD-FT and RD-GT thickness variants — approximately 67% higher load capacity at each thickness. The higher ratings reflect the deeper plate structure providing additional load-bearing geometry through the recessed sinking well, supporting bariatric body holding and heavy-duty forensic pathology applications.

Wider Plate Variants Accommodate Bariatric Body Holding

The RD-ST1 is the only tray variant in the Roundfin Morgue Series that increases in width with thickness — 580 mm at 1.0 mm, 680 mm at 1.2 mm, and 760 mm at 1.5 mm. The 680 mm and 760 mm variants accommodate bariatric bodies that the universal 580 mm Roundfin dimension cannot, supporting trust-level capacity planning for diverse-population body holding requirements at the NHS scale.

Four Buckle Handles for Lift System and Transport Integration

The RD-ST1 carries four buckle handles (130 × 56 mm each, two per narrow side) — distinct from the fixed hand-grip handles on the RD-GT family. The buckle design provides secure attachment points for lifting straps, lift system hooks, body-securing belts during transport, and transport vehicle anchor tie-downs during long-distance body movement. The four-buckle configuration supports integration with mechanical lift systems rather than relying solely on staff hand-grip lifting.

12-Pieces-Per-Case Plywood Packaging for Higher-Density Bulk Procurement

The RD-ST1 ships in export-quality plywood cases, with 12 pieces per case — 50% more than the RD-FT/GT family's 8-piece format. Higher case density reflects more efficient packaging of recessed sinking trays (which nest more effectively than flat plate trays). It supports bulk-order procurement with lower per-tray freight overhead for trust-level bariatric inventory.

SUS304 Stainless Steel Construction Throughout

Construction is SUS304 stainless steel throughout — tray plate, handles, buckle hardware, and edge structure — tolerating routine chlorine-based wipe-down, hospital-grade chlorhexidine, isopropanol disinfection, and the heavy mechanical loading typical of bariatric and forensic body handling without surface degradation. Medigear.uk supplies the trays with full material certifications.

Heavy-Duty Bariatric and Forensic Pathology Speciality Positioning

The RD-ST1 is a heavy-duty bariatric speciality tray, not a universal replacement for the RD-FT and RD-GT families. The wider plate variants, higher load ratings, deeper-recessed well, and buckle-handle configuration together position the RD-ST1 for bariatric body-holding workflows, forensic pathology operations requiring secure attachment to a lift system, and heavy-duty transport operations where standard trays would not deliver the load capacity or attachment security.

Pairs With Standard Tray Procurement Set as Speciality Inventory

For trusts running mixed Roundfin equipment fleets, the standard mortuary tray procurement set typically includes RD-FT universal trays as the primary body-holding inventory, along with RD-GT1 drainage trays, RD-GT2 containment trays, and RD-ST1 bariatric/forensic speciality trays. The four-variant procurement set provides the full workflow capability ladder from universal holding through bariatric and forensic applications.

Verified Supplier OEM and Distributor AMC Support

Medigear.uk offers verified supplier OEM rebranding, sample approval, and bulk-order coordination for distributor partners purchasing the RD-ST1 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.

Sinking-Plate Body Tray With 70 mm Recessed Well.

The RD-ST1 is the sinking-plate body-tray variant in the Roundfin Morgue Series tray family — a recessed body-holding well 70 mm deep formed into the tray plate, distinct from the flat (RD-FT) and grooved (RD-GT) plate forms in the family.

Three SUS304 Thickness and Width Variants

The RD-ST1 ships in three dimensionally distinct variants: 1.0 mm thickness at 1980 × 580 mm with a 250 kg load rating; 1.2 mm thickness at 1980 × 680 mm with a 270 kg load rating; 1.5 mm thickness at 1980 × 760 mm with a 300 kg load rating. Width grows with thickness across the variant ladder.

Four Buckle Handles (130 × 56 mm each)

Each tray carries four buckle handles — two on each narrow side — measuring 130 × 56 mm, made of SUS304 stainless steel. The buckle design provides secure attachment points for lifting straps, lift-system hooks, and transport-restraint hardware, rather than direct hand-grip lifting.

250 kg Load Capacity at 1.0 mm Thickness (580 mm Width)

The 1.0 mm thickness RD-ST1 carries 250 kg static and dynamic working load across the 1980 × 580 mm plate — significantly higher than the 150 kg rating on the equivalent RD-FT and RD-GT thickness.

270 kg Load Capacity at 1.2 mm Thickness (680 mm Width)

The 1.2 mm-thick RD-ST1 carries a 270 kg static and dynamic working load across the 1980 × 680 mm plate — supporting a bariatric body in accordance with the standard moderate-bariatric procurement specification.

300 kg Load Capacity at 1.5 mm Thickness (760 mm Width)

The 1.5 mm-thick RD-ST1 carries a 300 kg static and dynamic working load across the 1980 × 760 mm plate — supporting the heaviest bariatric body-holding and forensic pathology applications where extreme load capacity is a procurement requirement.

1980 mm Length Across All Three Variants

All three RD-ST1 thickness variants share the 1980 mm length — slightly longer than the 1940 mm universal Roundfin tray length in the RD-FT and RD-GT families — to accommodate taller-frame body holding.

70 mm Deep Recessed Body-Holding Well

The 70 mm sinking depth provides superior lateral body containment. It prevents body movement during transport and handling — substantially deeper than the 40–50 mm edge heights on flat and groove plate variants in the tray family.

SUS304 Stainless Steel Construction Throughout

Tray plate, handles, buckle hardware, and edge structure are constructed from SUS304 stainless steel — capable of withstanding routine disinfection protocols and heavy mechanical loading without surface degradation.

12-Pieces-Per-Case Export Plywood Packaging

Trays ship in export-quality plywood cases at 12 pieces per case (50% higher density than the RD-FT/GT family's 8-piece format), with packing dimensions scaling by thickness variant and case gross weight ranging from 250 kg to 300 kg.

Width-Variable Plate Accommodates Bariatric Bodies

Unique among the Roundfin Morgue Series tray family, the RD-ST1 grows in width with thickness — supporting standard 580 mm bodies at 1.0 mm thickness, moderate-bariatric 680 mm bodies at 1.2 mm thickness, and full bariatric 760 mm bodies at 1.5 mm thickness.

Buckle Handles Support Lift System Hardware Integration

The buckle handle configuration provides attachment points for mechanical lift systems, lifting straps, body-securing belts during transport, and transport vehicle anchor tie-downs — supporting safe heavy-duty body handling beyond direct staff hand-grip lifting.

Compatible with Universal Roundfin Equipment at 1.0 mm Variant Only

The 1.0 mm × 580 mm variant fits Roundfin refrigerator chambers, storage racks, and lifting trolleys built for the universal 580 mm dimension. The 1.2 mm × 680 mm and 1.5 mm × 760 mm variants exceed standard chamber width and require custom bariatric equipment or standalone use.

Customisable Tray Dimensions, Plate Depth, and Material

Roundfin offers RD-ST1 customisation across tray sizes beyond the standard three variants, plate depth beyond the standard 70 mm, handle configurations, and material thickness. Medigear.uk handles OEM specification and bulk-order coordination.

Material Certifications and Load Test Documentation

Each tray ships with material certifications confirming the SUS304 stainless steel grade and load test documentation matching the published 250 kg, 270 kg, or 300 kg rating for the ordered thickness/width variant. Documentation supports NHS Estates procurement audit and CQC inspection evidence.

The Roundfin RD-ST1 mortuary body tray, supplied through Medigear.uk, delivers a heavy-duty sinking-plate tray with bilateral four-buckle handles — purpose-built for bariatric body holding, forensic pathology workflows, and operations requiring secure attachment points for lifting straps and transport systems. Three SUS304 stainless steel thickness and width variants (1.0 mm × 580 mm, 1.2 mm × 680 mm, 1.5 mm × 760 mm) cover load ratings from 250 kg through 300 kg — substantially higher than the flat and groove plate variants in the Roundfin Morgue Series tray family. The recessed 70 mm body-holding well supports superior body positioning and lateral containment compared with shallower plate forms.
