Link CMP recently enhanced its DD2000-XLC Double-Deck System based on customer feedback. Introduced in 2019, this model doubles the carrying capacity of the Chevy Express, Dodge ProMaster, Ford Econoline, Ford Transit, Nissan NV and Mercedes-Benz Sprinter cargo vans. Link’s new features include additional rollers on both upper and lower decks, as well as added bier pin plates.

“Customers using the DD2000-XLC under real-world conditions offered us insights we simply couldn’t have achieved otherwise, and the trend toward managing and transporting larger volumes of cremation containers was at the top of the list,” said Lynn Blake, national account manager of CMP products for Link. “We’ve added rollers to both upper and lower decks to aid in the loading and unloading process of all remains, particularly those in cremation containers, air trays or caskets.”

The additional bier pin plates not only specifically address today’s increased use of cremation containers, but they also aid in securing air trays and caskets. The system fold-down ramp protects the rear of the vehicle and allows easy access to the decks.

“The DD2000-XLC now offers the ultimate in flexibility in bier pin placement, allowing a single worker to stow, secure and manage different containment formats on both decks,” said Blake. “The deck’s recessed, cast-aluminum cot cups also ensure container stability.”

With its 600-pound load capacity, the DD2000-XLC’s upper deck is engineered with a reinforced frame and simplified lifting geometry. It also includes an integrated safety latch, locking it in place and preventing it from lowering – even if both its powered actuators fail. Weighing 750 pounds, the DD2000-XLC fits vehicles with a minimum wheelbase of 140 inches and is compatible with 12-volt electrical systems. Professional installation is required. linkcmp.com
