Dignity of the deceased has been the design keynote during development of our Mercedes-Benz Vito
retrieval vehicle. From the outside, the looks of an upmarket people carrier. On the inside, capacity for four stretchers or five coffins with all the fittings you would associate with a traditional hearse bier. A vehicle that clients may never come into contact with, but whose presence speaks volumes about the regard for people entrusted to your care.
A vehicle whose design takes into account heightened awareness within the profession of the impact that improper manual handling practices can have on staff welfare. As with rates of obesity within the UK population set to increase, the issue is now not just one of providing respectful transportation for the deceased, but also of coping with caskets that may not comfortably sit within the confines of a conventional hearse.
Already finding favour with funeral homes catering to a multifaith clientele, the Binz retrieval vehicle is versatile enough to satisfy the discerning needs of same-day interment schedules. Yet can be speedily adapted to serve as a flower hearse that will not strike a jarring note when part of a traditional funeral car cortege.
Indeed, what sets the Binz retrieval vehicle apart, is the way in which it has been conceived as a total solution. Not just from the standpoint of creating a vehicle that exactly meets your needs - but also to ensure that our engineering is of the same standard as that of the Mercedes-Benz vehicle it is based upon. Hence the unobtrusive and silent hydraulic "Rise and Fall" deck mechanism, developed specifically for the Vito's chassis. Restraining systems designed around the loads they would have to bear, and twin side doors so that whichever side of the road you need to stop on, your staff can always access the side that's safest. We even paid attention to aesthetics, making for a clear interior, which is easier to clean after each removal.
