In a time of increasing fuel and labor costs, and in the midst of a continuing shortage of full-sized vans, the DD-EX2 increases worker and vehicle efficiency, effectiveness and productivity by increasing capacity while decreasing labor and mileage costs.

Interchangeable and adjustable bier pins and polyethylene strips allow the management of different mortuary containers on both lightweight all-aluminum decks. “As the architects of the industry’s first engineered professional transportation solution for human remains, Link is the leading innovator in this space,” said Blake. “The DD-EX2 Double-Deck System is the result of the company’s relentless and never-ending research into the needs of funeral service professionals and the organizations they serve.” The funeral industry’s growing demand for efficiency and the increased emphasis on cremation are putting pressure on intermediate funeral homes to provide services beyond their capacity. The DD-EX2 provides a compact double-deck system that fits a more affordable and available mid-sized cargo van. Loading cots, cremation containers and air trays is easy with the DD-EX2’s features. A rugged, high-impact folddown ramp assists in loading while protecting the rear of the vehicle and allowing easy access to the decks. Interchangeable and adjustable bier pins enable a single worker to stow, secure and manage different containment formats on both decks. The decks are also fitted with recessed, cast-aluminum cot cups that help ensure container stability and peace of mind during transport. The upper deck is engineered with a reinforced frame and simplified lifting geometry. Both decks are made of extruded aluminum and sealed fiberglass, protecting the vehicle and allowing for sanitation. The system is compatible with 12-volt electrical systems, and professional installation is required. “The system will enhance funeral home operations using mid-sized cargo vans while maintaining the highest standards of professionalism and integrity when carrying out transportation and cremation services,” said Blake. “The DD-EX2 is the only double-deck system available for a mid-sized cargo van, because in the mortuary business, the right vehicle can make all the difference. From capability to overall cost, the system is built to serve a mortician’s bottom line.” For details on the new DD-EX2 Double-Deck System, call 800-248-3057 or visit www.linkcmp.com.
