Roundfin RD-ST2

In hospital mortuary placements where the sinking plate form's lateral body containment and four-buckle attachment configuration are required but heavy-duty load capacity is not, the RD-ST2, delivered through Medigear.uk, supports the same sinking plate workflow as the RD-ST1 sibling at a lower procurement cost, matching the standard RD-FT and RD-GT load capacity ladder. NHS Estates teams sourcing through Medigear.uk specify the RD-ST2 as the standard-load sinking tray in the mortuary tray procurement set, alongside RD-FT universal trays.

In pathology and coronial workflows where body transport requires attachment points for lift systems and lateral body containment but does not involve bariatric body weights, the RD-ST2 supports the four-buckle handle configuration for lifting-strap and lift-hardware integration without the higher capital cost of the RD-ST1 heavy-duty specification. The 70 mm recessed body-holding well contains incidental fluid release during transport and supports better body positioning than flat or groove plate alternatives.

For independent funeral homes, removal operators, and embalming centres running routine body transport workflows that require lift system hardware integration, the RD-ST2 from Medigear.uk provides a sinking plate with bilateral four-buckle attachment points at the standard load capacity required by routine workflows. The 1.0 mm × 580 mm variant is compatible with Roundfin equipment chambers designed for the universal 580 mm dimension, enabling straight-through transfer into mortuary refrigerators and storage racks.

In mass-fatality response, pandemic-response, mortuary contingency stockpiles, and field-deployment operations where lateral body containment is required during transport but standard load capacity is sufficient, the RD-ST2 supports the sinking plate workflow at the standard load ratings used across the rest of the tray family. Medigear.uk supplies the trays to coronial overflow teams and trust contingency stockpiles as the standard-load sinking speciality inventory.

Sinking Plate Form at Standard Load Ratings

The RD-ST2's defining position in the Roundfin tray family is its combination of a sinking plate form (70 mm recessed body-holding well) and standard load ratings (150/180/230 kg) that match the RD-FT and RD-GT families. This combination supports workflows that require lateral containment of the sinking plate without incurring the heavy-duty capital-cost premium of the RD-ST1 specification — the standard-load sinking speciality tray.

Four Buckle Handles for Lift System and Transport Integration

The RD-ST2 carries four buckle handles (130 × 56 mm each, two per narrow side) — matching the RD-ST1 sibling exactly. The buckle design provides secure attachment points for lifting straps, lift system hooks, body-securing belts during transport, and transport vehicle anchor tie-downs. The configuration supports integration with mechanical lift systems rather than relying solely on staff hand-grip lifting.

Standard Load Capacity Ladder Matching the Rest of the Tray Family

The RD-ST2 load ratings of 150 kg, 180 kg, and 230 kg match the load capacity ladder used across the RD-FT, RD-GT1, and RD-GT2 trays exactly — supporting trust standardisation on a single thickness specification across mixed-variant tray inventory. The 1.2 mm thickness is the standard procurement default across all four variants, simplifying procurement at the trust scale.

Recessed Body-Holding Well for Superior Positioning

The 70 mm-deep recessed body-holding well supports superior lateral body positioning compared with the 40 mm groove plate and 50 mm flat plate edge heights on the RD-FT and RD-GT families. The deeper well prevents body movement during transport and supports better body presentation during family-attended identification across standard load workflows.

Width-Variable Plate Accommodates Wider Bodies

The RD-ST2 thickness ladder is dimensionally distinctive: 580 mm width at 1.0 mm thickness, 680 mm width at 1.2 mm thickness, 760 mm width at 1.5 mm thickness. The wider plate variants (680 mm and 760 mm) accommodate body widths that the universal 580 mm Roundfin dimension would not support, supporting routine non-bariatric workflows that nevertheless require additional plate width.

Lower Procurement Cost Than the Heavy-Duty RD-ST1

The standard load ratings allow Roundfin to manufacture the RD-ST2 without the additional internal structural reinforcement of the heavy-duty RD-ST1, supporting a lower procurement cost than the equivalent RD-ST1 specification at the same thickness/width variant. For workflows where standard load capacity is sufficient, the RD-ST2 offers the sinking-plate form and four-buckle handles at a lower cost point.

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 mechanical loading typical of standard body handling without surface degradation.

Pairs With Full Tray Procurement Set as Standard-Load Sinking Inventory

For trusts running mixed Roundfin equipment fleets, the standard mortuary tray procurement set can combine RD-FT universal trays, RD-GT1 drainage trays, RD-GT2 containment trays, RD-ST1 heavy-duty bariatric trays, and RD-ST2 standard-load sinking trays. The five-variant set provides the full workflow capability ladder from universal holding through bariatric and forensic applications, with the RD-ST2 covering the standard-load sinking workflow.

Sinking-Plate Body Tray With 70 mm Recessed Well.

The RD-ST2 is the standard-load 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, matching the RD-ST1 sibling geometry exactly.

Three SUS304 Thickness and Width Variants

The RD-ST2 ships in three dimensionally distinct variants: 1.0 mm thickness at 1980 × 580 mm with a 150 kg load rating; 1.2 mm thickness at 1980 × 680 mm with an 180 kg load rating; 1.5 mm thickness at 1980 × 760 mm with a 230 kg load rating.

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.

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

The 1.0 mm-thick RD-ST2 carries a 150 kg static and dynamic working load across the 1980 × 580 mm plate, matching the equivalent RD-FT and RD-GT thickness load ratings.

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

The 1.2 mm-thick RD-ST2 carries a 180 kg static and dynamic working load across the 1980 × 680 mm plate — the standard NHS Trust procurement default for routine sinking-plate body-holding workflows.

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

The 1.5 mm-thick RD-ST2 carries a 230 kg static and dynamic working load across the 1980 × 760 mm plate, supporting routine non-bariatric body holding at the widest plate dimension within the standard load ladder.

1980 mm Length Across All Three Variants

All three RD-ST2 thickness variants share a length of 1980 mm, matching the RD-ST1 sibling and slightly longer than the 1940 mm universal Roundfin tray length in the RD-FT and RD-GT families.

70 mm Deep Recessed Body-Holding Well

The 70 mm sinking depth provides superior lateral body containment and prevents body movement during transport and handling — matching the RD-ST1 sibling exactly.

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 standard 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 that scale with the thickness variant.

Width-Variable Plate Accommodates Wider Bodies

The RD-ST2 grows in width with thickness, supporting standard 580 mm bodies at 1.0 mm thickness, wider 680 mm bodies at 1.2 mm thickness, and 760 mm bodies at 1.5 mm thickness within the standard load capacity ladder.

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 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 equipment or standalone use.

Customisable Tray Dimensions, Plate Depth, and Material

Roundfin offers RD-ST2 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 150 kg, 180 kg, or 230 kg rating for the ordered thickness/width variant. Documentation supports NHS Estates procurement audit and CQC inspection evidence.

The Roundfin RD-ST2 mortuary body tray supplied through Medigear.uk delivers the standard-load sinking-plate tray with bilateral four-buckle handles — sharing the recessed body-holding well geometry of the heavy-duty RD-ST1 sibling but at the standard load capacity ladder of the RD-FT and RD-GT family. 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 150 kg through 230 kg — matching the rest of the Roundfin Morgue Series tray family for trust standardisation. The recessed 70 mm body-holding well supports superior body positioning compared with shallower plate forms. With SUS304 stainless-steel construction, four buckle-attachment handles, 12-piece export plywood case packaging, and Medigear.uk distributor support, the RD-ST2 meets NHS Estates procurement, distributor framework, and direct funeral-services capital purchase requirements.
