Mopec JC023 Heavy Duty Body Tray With Hand Slots – 23″ Stainless Steel

Description

The Mopec JC023 heavy duty body tray is a 23″ stainless steel cadaver tray built for daily service in hospital morgues, medical examiner offices, and anatomy labs. As part of the pathology and mortuary equipment line at ARES Scientific, it serves as the standardized platform that moves decedents between cadaver storage racks, cadaver carriers, and scissor lifts without transfers across mismatched surfaces.

Manufactured by Mopec, the JC023 mortuary tray uses rolled-edge fabrication with corners welded in a continuous bead, so fluids stay contained on the tray surface during post-mortem handling and transport. Two hand slots at each end give technicians a secure gloved grip whether the tray is called a body tray, morgue tray, autopsy tray, or post-mortem tray in your facility’s workflow.

The 23″ width is the compact standard for single-body storage systems and pairs with cadaver lifts for safe loading at height. Typical installations include hospital morgues, county medical examiner and coroner facilities, funeral homes, anatomical donation programs, and veterinary or research necropsy suites.

What is the Mopec JC023 body tray used for?

The JC023 is a heavy duty stainless steel tray that holds a decedent as a single standardized platform across the morgue workflow, moving between storage racks, carriers, and scissor lifts in hospital morgues, medical examiner offices, funeral homes, and anatomy labs.

What is the difference between the JC023 and JC027 body trays?

Width is the only major difference: the JC023 is 23″ wide and the JC027 is 27″ wide, while both share the 77.5″ length, 2.75″ height, 304 stainless construction, and approximately 375 lb capacity. Choose the width that matches your rack and carrier system.

What is the weight capacity of the JC023 body tray?

The JC023 supports approximately 375 lbs, matching the per-bay rating of Mopec roller mortuary racks so the tray is never the limiting factor in the storage system.

The standard JC023 has no drain. The JC023D variant is creased for draining to an included drain hole fitted with a rubber plug and attached chain, which suits autopsy and washdown workflows.
