Above ground sealing vault devices have been around for a long time, but the advantages that they offer are still applicable today. These vault devices allow for the concrete top seal type burial vault or the metal air seal type burial vault to be closed and sealed above ground level and then lowered into the grave. The main advantage is that all of the operations on the vault such as, placing the casket into the vault, placing the lid on the vault and sealing the lid to the vault can be carried out above ground level without risk of dirt or other foreign objects getting into the vault. Also because the casket itself is lowered just a couple of feet, there is less risk of damaging the casket than there is when lowering it all the way to the bottom of the grave.
The operation of the vault lowering device is quite simple and one man can set up and take down the unit by himself. The box of the vault is suspended over the grave on two cables. The cables hang from two aluminum spools on the main drive tubes of the unit. The drive tubes are supported between two feet that sit on the corners of the grave. There are two drive tube and feet units, one on each end of the vault. When the unit is operated the drive tube and aluminum spools rotate inward toward the grave and thus lower the box into the grave. There is a connecting bar between the units on each end of the vault, allowing one man to operate the unit from one end. The lid is supported on each end by a lid carrier. The carrier clamps onto each end of the lid. The carrier has rollers on the bottom that rest on a lid rail that allows the lid to be rolled back from over the vault. The lid rail rests on top of the drive tube, feet units that were mentioned earlier.
When in operation the vault with lid is placed on the support cables over the grave. The drive tube, feet units are supported by whatever planking is deemed necessary for the grave topography. After the vault with lid is placed on the cables, the lid rails are placed on top of the drive tube feet units. The lid carriers are clamped onto the lid and the lid rails are lined up under the rollers of the lid carrier. Then the box of the vault is lowered until the rollers contact the lid rail and the lid is lifted off the box. The lid can then be rolled back from over the box. A casket lowering device can then be placed on top of the lid rails. The unit is ready to accept the casket.
After the service the casket lowering device places the casket into the vault and the casket lowering device is removed. The lid is then rolled back over the box. The box is then raised back up under the lid until the lid carriers are raised up off of the lid rails. The lid carriers can then be removed. The vault is now ready to be lowered into the grave. After the vault is lowered to the bottom, the cables can be pulled out from under the vault. Before the vault is first placed over the grave, little mounds of dirt or gravel should be placed at the bottom of the grave to leave a space so the cables can be pulled out after the vault is at the bottom.
That is a very simplified explanation of the operation of an above ground sealing vault device. As I said before, the main advantages are, one main set up and take down, cleanliness of the inside of the vault is maintained, and the aesthetics of the unit are very pleasing to the eye.
There is a website that shows a lot of pictures of the setups and how they look at the grave site at http://www.tandjmfg.com Thank you for taking the time to read this article.
