New X Lifter for funeral and mortuary sector

Ferno has launched ‘The X Lifter’ - a new lightweight body lifting solution for the funeral and mortuary sector.
The X Lifter has been developed to supply customers who have long demanded a more compact and diverse answer to solve common issues associated with other lifting devices.
The X Lifter makes it possible for anyone to single handedly easily load and unload a coffin rack. It is also super lightweight. It is 5kgs lighter than any similar item and the most compact lifter ever produced at 318mm when closed-down. Folding this small means the product can easily be hidden away underneath an altar when not in use.
And we already have one delighted customer in Colin Rescorla of C.L. Funeral Service, Cornwall who was the first to purchase an X Lifter at the National Association of Funeral Directors Conference in Stratford upon Avon. Keen to put it to work, he took it away the same day.
Colin says: “I wish I had bought one 15 years ago, it’s made things so much easier for us. The X Lifter has made it possible for one person to comfortably handle most jobs. I wish I had bought another at the same time”.
He added: “I’ve used Ferno products for many years, and I’d never buy anything else. As a metal worker, I had been considering building something of a similar design, but couldn’t see the point when the X Lifter does exactly what I need it to do.”
The X Lifter is available with two attachments - a tilting embalming top and a coffin frame. The embalming top comes complete with six body rests while the coffin frame has four rubber rollers that can be manufactured to suit individual needs and requirements.
Customers can opt to have a foot pedal on the X Lifter and the innovative new design makes it easier than ever to operate, with no exposed wires.
Ferno’s Managing Director, Jon Ellis said: “We are really pleased to now be able to supply a product that the market has been demanding for so long. It’s great knowing Ferno have filled that gap. We have already had some fantastic feedback off our customers”.
