A Brand-New Product from FT North America
FT brings solutions to a new cremation market
MEDINA, OH—FT North America proudly introduces their first new cremator design in more than 10 years. The FT-USA/XL, FT’s first mid-range machine designed specifically for cremation businesses that are looking to add cremation equipment but not quite ready for the “horsepower” of the FTIII. This new offering fits perfectly between the FT-USA and the FTIII in both workload and price point.
FT-USA/XL Highlights when compared to the FT-USA:
- Faster cool down time
- Longer life refractory
- More energy savings
- Can cremate up to 1000 pounds
- Can handle double the cremations per 8-hour shift and double per year
“The FT-USA/XL is designed with our well-known commitment to quality, safety and efficiency,” said Mike Miller, COO of FT North America. “This new machine is competitively priced, affordability matters to us at FT, and when combined with our proven expertise, the XL offers a high ROI over the life of the machine.”
The XL has already hit the manufacturing floor in Medina, Ohio. FT North America expects to be delivering new machines by quarter three of 2026, if not sooner. Crematories have purchase options with FT, such as the innovative way to pay with Partner Pay, exclusive to FT North America. The program offers customers a way to pay over time and according to cremation volume.
“Cremation is growing in north America, and trends tell us that will continue,” said Miller. “We always encourage our service providers to consider growth in their planning and that’s why adding the FT-USA/XL to our lineup is so important. It helps us meet our customers wherever they are.”
