Caskets are heavy, expensive, and cosmetically unforgiving — a corner ding on delivery day is margin gone. Casket handling equipment moves them from truck to storage to service without scars or strains. From a premier funeral supply company since 2009.
The Handling Chain
Delivery: a hydraulic lift table receives freight at truck height and lowers under control — up to 1,000 lbs on the heavy-duty build. Movement: church trucks roll caskets through halls and chapels at working height; the buying guide covers specs. Casketing: the lift beside the dressing table makes the final transfer a zero-strain move.
Storage Without Scars
Selection-room and inventory caskets survive on padding and planning: racked storage keeps corners off concrete, and every move happens on wheels, not shoulders. Keep truck and lift hardware healthy with replacement parts and the maintenance habits that double equipment life.

FAQ
What equipment moves caskets safely?
A hydraulic lift table for delivery and casketing, church trucks for hall and chapel movement, and racked padded storage — wheels and hydraulics instead of backs.
How do firms prevent casket delivery damage?
Receive at height on a lift table, inspect before signing, and move on wheels from dock to storage — most dings happen in improvised carries.
