Cambro ICS100L191 45.5kg Sliding Lid Ice Caddy

The Cambro ICS100L191 is a portable ice caddy designed for commercial kitchens, bars, and catering operations that need to transport and hold large quantities of ice away from a fixed ice machine. Built from polyethylene with thick foam insulation throughout, it is intended to keep ice in usable condition for extended periods without the need for refrigeration during short-term holding. The sliding lid is a practical design choice — rather than lifting a cover clear of the unit, it slides back and underneath, keeping it out of the way during scooping and reducing the risk of the lid being set down on an unclean surface.

In a busy service environment, ice caddies like this one take real punishment. The polyethylene construction resists the cracking, chipping, and denting that can affect lower-grade alternatives over time, which matters when the caddy is being moved across kitchen floors multiple times a day. The recessed interior well and drain shelf are worth noting — they keep ice elevated above meltwater, which extends holding time and means you are scooping ice rather than ice-water during service. The front castors and rear wheels are there to make shifting a fully loaded caddy manageable for one person, rather than a two-person lift.

• Sliding lid reduces cross-contamination risk and stays out of the way during scooping
• Recessed drain shelf keeps ice clear of meltwater, extending usable hold time
• Polyethylene body resists cracking, denting, and chipping under regular use
• Heavy-duty castors and rear wheels allow one-person movement when fully loaded
• No assembly required — ready to use straight from delivery

This caddy suits kitchens, bars, and event catering operations that need a reliable, mobile ice store to bridge the gap between an ice machine output and the point of use. It works well in situations where ice machines are positioned away from the bar or service station, or where ice needs to be transported to a different floor or area. For very high-volume sites producing ice continuously across multiple service areas, it is worth considering whether a larger-capacity unit or multiple caddies would better support your throughput.

If you are unsure whether this size is right for your operation, or how it fits alongside your existing ice machine setup, we are happy to talk it through.
