Cambro Ice Caddies & Ice Handling

Choose reliability with rugged, all-weather SlidingLidᵀᴹ Ice Caddies backed by classic Cambro durability. The thick CFC-free foam insulation and rotomolded shell holds ice for days without cracking, denting, bubbling, or rusting. This makes the caddies ideal for beverage and meal service for outdoor events, receptions, and hotels. A unique sliding lid design slides back and under during use, reducing risk of cross-contamination, while a recessed well and drain shelf keeps ice out of water. Slant top sliding lid units fit under prep tables and counters for added convenience. Moulded-in, ergonomic handles ease lifting and manoeuvring, with stable, strong caster options.

The Cambro ICS100L191 is a portable ice caddy designed for commercial kitchens, bars, and catering operations that need to move and store large quantities of ice away from a fixed ice machine. The body is constructed from polyethylene with foam insulation throughout, keeping ice in a usable condition for extended periods without refrigeration during short-term holding. The sliding lid is a practical design detail — rather than lifting a cover clear of the unit, it slides back and under the caddy, staying out of the way during scooping and avoiding the need to set it down on a potentially unclean surface.

In a busy service environment, ice caddies take real punishment. The polyethylene construction resists the cracking, chipping, and denting that can affect alternatives when a caddy is moved across kitchen floors multiple times a day. The recessed interior drain shelf keeps ice elevated above meltwater, which extends holding time and means operators are scooping clean ice rather than working through an ice-water mix mid-service. Heavy-duty front castors and rear wheels make shifting a fully loaded unit manageable for one person.

• Sliding lid clears the opening without being lifted free, reducing contamination risk
• Recessed drain shelf keeps ice above meltwater throughout service
• Polyethylene body resists cracking and denting under daily commercial use
• Castors and rear wheels allow one-person movement when fully loaded
• Ready to use on delivery — no assembly required

This caddy is well suited to kitchens, bars, and event catering operations that need a reliable, mobile ice store to bridge the gap between an ice machine and the point of use — particularly where the machine is positioned away from the service station, or where ice needs to reach a different area. For very high-volume sites or operations supplying ice across several service areas simultaneously, it is worth considering whether a larger-capacity unit or multiple caddies would better support throughput.

If you are unsure whether this capacity is right for your setup, or how it sits alongside your existing ice machine, we are happy to talk it through before you go ahead.

The Cambro ICS125L191 is a large-capacity mobile ice caddy designed for commercial foodservice environments where ice needs to be stored hygienically, held in good condition throughout a shift, and moved between production and service points reliably. It is a passive insulated unit — no electrical or plumbing connections required — built from polyethylene with thick foam insulation to maintain ice quality under sustained daily use.

In practice, a caddy like this sits at the centre of ice-handling workflows. It receives ice directly from the machine, keeps it accessible during service, and travels between prep areas and bars or service counters as demand requires. The sliding lid is a well-considered detail: rather than lifting clear and being set down on a wet surface, it slides back and tucks beneath the body of the unit, keeping the lid off worksurfaces, reducing clutter during busy service, and lowering cross-contamination risk at the same time. A recessed drain shelf elevates ice above meltwater, which helps maintain quality as the caddy works through a long shift and reduces the chance of staff scooping watery ice at the wrong moment.

From an operational standpoint, the main advantages are:

• Polyethylene construction resists cracking, denting and chipping under heavy daily use
• Sliding lid removes a loose component and reduces cross-contamination risk
• Recessed drain shelf keeps ice separated from meltwater throughout service
• Heavy-duty front casters and large rear wheels support movement when fully loaded
• Moulded handles and recessed front grip allow safe manoeuvring in tighter spaces

Because this unit requires no connections, placement is straightforward. That said, at full capacity it is a substantial load to move, and any site planning to route it regularly between areas should consider floor surfaces, any changes in level, and whether the path between the ice machine and service point is practical under load.

This caddy is well suited to high-volume bars, hotel food and beverage operations, event catering setups, and any site producing ice centrally and distributing it across multiple service points. Smaller operations with lower daily ice throughput may find a reduced-capacity model more manageable. Where volume is high enough that a single caddy creates a bottleneck, running two units is often a more practical solution than moving up to a significantly larger container.

If you would like to talk through whether this capacity fits your ice machine output or your typical service pattern, the team is happy to work through that with you.
