Instantly Increase Morgue Capacity with AirCool

Hospital preparedness teams should incorporate the Flexmort AirCool as their first-line response for increasing morgue capacity in Tier 1 and Tier 2 emergency planning. Unlike morgue trailers, which are often seen as undignified and pose manual handling risks, the AirCool is a safer, more respectful solution than some trailers. Designed racking with rollers on every level, it allows for efficient body storage without the heavy lifting required by trailers.

In a Mass Fatality Incident (MFI), the AirCool can be deployed immediately, expanding a hospital’s morgue by at least 12 additional spaces indoors, maintaining privacy and security. This rapid response is independent of state or regional support, ensuring hospitals can act without waiting for external resources. While some hospital emergency plans claim trailers can be delivered within 24 hours, their availability during multi-state emergencies is uncertain. If multiple states require trailers simultaneously, delays and significant costs are inevitable.

The AirCool is a compact, portable, and cost-effective solution, offering hospitals a practical first step in managing surge capacity. When an MFI escalates to extreme levels, morgue trailers may become necessary, but not every MFI involves dozens of fatalities. Many incidents result in 5-6 deaths, which can still overwhelm a hospital morgue.

It’s time for hospitals across the United States to rethink their approach and move away from relying on morgue trailers as the first response. The AirCool provides immediate, dignified, and efficient morgue capacity expansion, ensuring hospitals can manage the early stages of a crisis effectively.

Bariatric and body armor capacity options available

Scalable for All Body Types – Designed to accommodate individuals wearing body armor as well as bariatric individuals, making it suitable for both small-unit operations and large-scale responses. The shelving apertures are wide enough to support bariatric individuals and those in armor, with roller racking on every level for ease of use. Additionally, this design serves a critical humanitarian role in disaster and war zones, where bariatric considerations are just as essential.

We have recently worked with the MoD field hospitals and designed a system large enough to hold the deceased with full-body armor. This model has a NATO number 9930-99-671-2467.
