REMOVAL COT SERVICE & REPAIR
INSPECTION, MAINTENANCE & REPAIR FOR FERNO AND JUNKIN MORTUARY REMOVAL COTS
REMOVAL COT SERVICE & MAINTENANCE.
Cantrell’s Sales LLC provides inspection, maintenance, adjustment, and repair for FERNO and Junkin removal cots used in funeral home removal and transport operations.
Removal cots are subjected to repeated loading, unloading, folding, transport, and daily movement. Over time, wheels, casters, leg assemblies, linkage, locks, latches, frame hardware, and structural components can wear, loosen, become misaligned, or fail.
Cantrell’s evaluates the complete cot and repairs or replaces serviceable components whenever practical, helping keep dependable equipment operating safely and correctly.

FERNO & JUNKIN REMOVAL COT SERVICE
FERNO and Junkin cots are among the primary removal-cot brands serviced by Cantrell’s.
Both manufacturers produce professional transport equipment designed for repeated funeral-home use, and many individual components can be serviced or replaced as wear develops over time.
Depending on the model and condition, Cantrell’s can service wheel and caster assemblies, leg mechanisms, linkage, locks, latches, handles, hardware, frame components, and other serviceable mechanical parts.
FERNO REMOVAL COTS
Cantrell’s services a variety of FERNO removal-cot designs and can diagnose problems involving folding and loading mechanisms, wheels and casters, locks, linkage, frame hardware, and related mechanical components.
JUNKIN REMOVAL COTS
Cantrell’s also services Junkin removal cots and transport equipment, including mechanical adjustment, wheel and caster service, locking components, hardware, structural inspection, and component replacement where needed.
COMMON REMOVAL COT PROBLEMS
LEGS NOT LOCKING OR RELEASING
Wear, damaged components, linkage problems, or adjustment issues can interfere with normal leg operation.
DIFFICULT TO FOLD OR OPERATE
Binding, loose hardware, worn linkage, or damaged mechanical components can make the cot increasingly difficult to operate.
WHEELS OR CASTERS NOT ROLLING PROPERLY
Worn wheels, bearings, caster assemblies, or mounting hardware can affect maneuverability and stability.
STRUCTURAL OR FRAME DAMAGE
Repeated loading and transport can eventually contribute to cracking, separation, deformation, or other damage in structural areas.
Similar symptoms can have different causes depending on the cot model and condition. Cantrell’s evaluates the complete mechanical and structural system before determining the appropriate repair.
STRUCTURAL DAMAGE & COT SAFETY
SOMETIMES THEY ARE EASY TO SPOT
OTHER TIMES YOU HAVE TO LOOK CAREFULLY
Removal cots are repeatedly loaded, unloaded, folded, transported, and moved across uneven surfaces. Over time, structural components should be inspected for cracking, separation, distortion, damaged welds, loose hardware, and other signs of deterioration.
Structural damage is not always immediately obvious. Some cracks are clearly visible, while others may develop around mounting points, joints, weld areas, or other high-stress locations and require a closer inspection to identify.
If structural damage is discovered, the cot should be removed from service until the affected area has been properly evaluated and repaired.
REQUEST REMOVAL COT SERVICE
If your FERNO or Junkin removal cot is difficult to fold, roll, lock, raise or lower, has excessive movement, or shows signs of structural damage, Cantrell’s can inspect the equipment and determine the appropriate repair.
If you are unsure of the cot model or the source of the problem, send us photos or video of the equipment and the issue you are experiencing.
One-time service and scheduled preventative maintenance available.
