How long will this caddy hold ice without refrigeration?

That depends on ambient temperature and how frequently the lid is opened, but the thick foam insulation is designed to maintain ice in usable condition for several hours during a normal service period. It is intended for short-to-medium-term holding and transport rather than overnight storage — for longer holding requirements, a refrigerated ice bin would be more appropriate.

Is this caddy large enough for a high-volume bar or banqueting operation?

The 45.5kg capacity suits most bar and kitchen operations that are transporting ice from a machine to a service point in regular cycles. For sites producing and consuming ice continuously across multiple service areas — such as large banqueting kitchens or high-throughput event catering — running multiple caddies or considering a higher-capacity unit is worth discussing with us before committing.

Does the caddy work with a standard ice scoop and is there anywhere to store it?

The sliding lid design leaves the full opening clear during scooping, and the interior is shaped to work with standard commercial ice scoops. If scoop storage is a priority for your workflow, it is worth checking your preferred scoop size alongside this unit — we can advise if you are unsure.

Product Description

The Cambro ICS100L191 is a portable ice caddy built for commercial kitchens, bars, and catering operations that need to move and hold large quantities of ice away from a fixed ice machine. The body is constructed from polyethylene with thick foam insulation throughout, keeping ice in usable condition for extended periods without any refrigeration during short-term holding. The sliding lid is a considered 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 lesser alternatives when a caddy is being 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 ice-water mid-service. Heavy-duty front castors and rear wheels make shifting a fully loaded unit manageable for one person rather than requiring a two-person lift.

Sliding lid stays clear of the opening during scooping, reducing contamination risk
Recessed drain shelf keeps ice above meltwater, extending usable hold time
Polyethylene body resists cracking, chipping, and denting under daily commercial use
Castors and rear wheels allow one-person movement when fully loaded
Ready to use straight from 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 ice machine is positioned away from the service station, or where ice needs to reach a different area or floor. For very high-volume sites or operations running ice across multiple service areas simultaneously, it is worth considering whether a larger-capacity unit or additional caddies would better support throughput.

If you are weighing up whether this capacity is right for your setup, or how it fits alongside your existing ice machine, we are happy to talk it through before you order.
