The Ferno Model 24 is a multi-level, roll-in mortuary cot designed for one-person retrieval and controlled transfers in professional funeral-service settings. Its release levers, automatically locking load-end legs, two-wheel mode, and stair guides support maneuverability when a team is working in confined areas.
What Is the Ferno Model 24 Mortuary Cot?
Answer: The Ferno Model 24 is a multi-level, roll-in cot that helps one person perform retrieval and transfer tasks while keeping the cot and body controlled through the movement.
The Model 24 can also function as a portable stretcher when its undercarriage is folded and locked. Use trained operators and follow the current Ferno manual for every transfer, stair movement, and loading procedure.
How Does the Model 24 Support Retrieval and Transfer?
Answer: The Model 24 supports retrieval through special release levers, automatic load-end leg locks, multiple levels, and a design that can be maneuvered as a two-wheeled stretcher in confined areas.
Multi-Level Roll-In Design
The multi-level feature helps move a body from a bed to the cot, while the special release levers make it possible to raise and lower the cot without assuming the full weight of the cot and body. The load-end legs unfold and lock automatically during unloading and fold again when the cot is loaded into a vehicle.
Confined-Space and Stair Maneuverability
When the undercarriage is folded and locked, the Model 24 acts as a maneuverable two-wheeled stretcher. Built-in stair guides support stair movement, but operators should use the current Ferno instructions and appropriate team procedures.
What Are the Ferno Model 24 Load and Capacity Specifications?
Answer: The current Vischer listing confirms a 400 lb load limit, 24 in load height, 77 in maximum length, 9.25 in minimum height, and 54 lb cot weight.
| Specification | Current verified listing value |
|---|---|
| Maximum length | 77 in (196 cm) |
| Minimum height | 9.25 in (24 cm) |
| Product weight | 54 lb (24.5 kg) |
| Load limit | 400 lb (182 kg) |

Width and maximum-height values are intentionally not repeated here because the current Vischer listing and an official Ferno source report different figures. Request the current Ferno technical sheet and confirm vehicle clearances before relying on either dimension.
