A Smarter, Scalable Solution for Temporary Mortuary Storage


While trailers have been a go-to solution for mass fatality management in the past, they’re not always the right fit. From limited space to high operational costs, traditional refrigerated trailers have their drawbacks.

When morgues exceed capacity by 26-50%, facilities need fast, effective decedent storage solutions. The Flexmort AirCool provides portable, scalable cooling, allowing hospitals, emergency planners, and mortuary teams to manage surge capacitybefore Tier 3 solutions are required.

Limitations of Trailers

  • Large footprint and parking/access issues
  • Often in view of community and media
  • Expensive to rent, maintain, and deploy
  • Not ideal for small- or mid-scale responses
  • Shelving without roller racking
  • Ramps often require manual pushing or pulling of heavy loads 
  • Limited deceased capacity within 117ft
