Casket Lowering Device Drapes

Device drapes are available in burgundy, blue and green Hi-Lustre drapery material. All device drapes come with velcro straps for attachment to stand tubing. Drapes are four pieces unless the one-piece wrap around feature is specified. Two styles are available:
Single-Faced
Designed for our non-telescoping device stand.
Double-Faced
Twice the thickness of Single-Faced drapes, the plush side of the material is visible both on the outside and the inside of the drape. Available for non-telescoping stands and telescoping stands. Our Double-Faced drapes for telescoping stands are equiped with an internal spring mechanism which allows them to be tapered to conform to the uneveness of the ground in a hillside setup.

Casket Lowering Device Stands

Diagrams:
Regular Device Stand Diagram
Telescoping Stand Diagram
Frigid lowering device stands are available in two models: Regular or Telescoping. The Regular model stands 14" high while the Telescoping model is fully adjustable. Designed to cope with a hillside setup, one end of the Telescoping stand adjusts from 10" - 18" while the other end adjusts from 14" - 26". The Regular model stands are available with polished aluminum corner post tubing or stainless steel tubing. The Telescoping model stands are available with nickel-plated corner post tubing or stainless steel tubing. All other tubing on our stands are made from polished aluminum. The Regular model weighs about 50 lbs. and the Telescoping model weighs about 95 lbs.

Pictured is our Telescoping model stand. Notice how one end is taller than the other. The taller end would be situated on the low end of a slope (hill) in order to maintain a level surface for the lowering device and casket.  The telescoping stand can be used on level ground as well.

Casket Lowering Device Straps

Nylon Straps

Frigid lowering device straps are 4" wide and are available in both green and black poly heat-sealed webbing in any length desired. Standard lengths are as follows:
  • 15' for 6 foot graves
  • 17.5' for 7 foot graves
  • 20' for 8 foot graves
  • 22.5' for 9 foot graves
  • 25' for 10 foot graves
  • 27.5' for 11 foot graves
  • 30' for 12 foot graves
  • Custom sizes > 30' (any length)
Our straps have a proven breaking strength of 2000 pounds each. For a small fee we can double-ply the center yard of each long strap for added strength if desired. Just ask for reinforced straps when you order. They can be purchased in pairs (2 long) or in sets (4 short, 2 long).

Safety Straps

Our safety straps are made of the same poly heat-sealed nylon webbing as our normal lowering device straps with rubber covered hooks on both ends. Overall length of hook and strap is 56". Strap alone measures 48". Available in pairs.

Safety Chains

Safety chains are for those who want absolutely no risk of any mishap when lowering a casket. Each of the two steel machine chains are rated at a 545 pound load capacity. Overall length of hook and chain is 68". Chain alone measures 54".

Cotton Hand Straps

Our hand-held straps are made of heavy-duty cotton webbing and are metal-tipped. They can be used for added security in combination with a lowering device, or alone if desired. Available (1.5" x 20'), (2" x 20') or (2" x 30')

The two longs straps support the casket over the lowering device.  The four short straps hook onto the lowering device side rails and allow one to detach the longs straps once the casket is lowered into the grave. Our safety straps are made with rubber covered hooks to protect the rails of your lowering device. Safety chains eliminate any threat of a casket falling into the grave.

Casket Placer Arm Set

Rubber covered rollers aid pallbearers in smoothly positioning the casket over the lowering device. The adjustable end stop ensures the casket will not roll off the device once positioned. Our placer arm set includes 4 placer arms with molded rubber rollers, 1 end roller with molded rubber roller, 1 end stop and 2 guide rods. Each of these items can also be purchased individually.

Caska-Rol Placer

The Caska-Rol Placer combines top-quality construction with safety and convenience. Its sturdy rubber rollers have been spaced precisely so that all standard caskets will roll smoothly without drag.

3 Simple Operating Steps:

1 Lay the three Caska-Rol bars across the side rails. For convenience the brake bar should be in front. The three bars can be placed at any interval along the device wherever they best suit your needs.

2 Place the casket on the front rollers with the brake off. Then push the casket along until it rests in the proper position on all three bars. Tighten the brake.

3 At the conclusion of the service, tighten the straps of the device and, while one end of the casket is raised, remove two of the bars. Repeat this procedure at the other end removing the last bar.
