3  ABOUT THE ROLLER SYSTEM
3.1 Description
The Ferno®Model 156 Roller system (called the roller system in this
manual) is a mortuary device designed to ease the loading, unloading,
and transporting of caskets and mortuary cots in a ground-based
vehicle. It is for professional use by trained mortuary-service operators.
Bier pins (not supplied, available separately) and restraints help limit the
movement of a casket or mortuary cot in the vehicle during transport.
The roller system secures to mounting plates installed on the oor of
the vehicle. The roller system can be easily removed so the vehicle can
be used for other purposes.
Features include 10 rollers (8 short and 2 long), two quick-release knobs,
two cot restraints, and a variety of bier-pin attachment points to allow
the use of caskets of dierent lengths.
COMPATIBILITY
● Ferno® Model 23 Cot Series
● Ferno® Model 24 Cot Series*
● Ferno® Model 27 Cot Series
Note:The roller system is not compatible with Ferno® 24-MAXX or
