Omcan Insulated Ice Caddy with Sliding Lid and 125lb Capacity

Polyethylene exterior with thick polyurethane foam insulation gives the Omcan Insulated Ice Caddy with Sliding Lid and 125lb. Capacity long ice retention without the dent-and-rust problems metal caddies hit. A recessed well plus drain shelf keeps stored ice out of meltwater, so cubes stay solid for hours longer between fills.

Two front swivel casters with brakes plus two larger fixed rear wheels give it the maneuverability of a hand truck even when fully loaded. Lock the front brakes during service to keep it parked next to the bar or buffet, and use the recessed front handle when navigating doorways or curbs.

Hotels, banquet halls, catering operations, sports venues, busy bars, and outdoor events all benefit from a 125-lb mobile ice supply. The sliding lid is the practical advantage in tight back-of-house corridors where a hinged lid would hit shelving or low ceilings.

A sliding lid stays clear of overhead obstructions and reduces cross-contamination risk because it does not flap open into adjacent surfaces. Staff can scoop one-handed while pushing the caddy, which speeds up bar restocks during a rush and keeps both the lid and the ice cleaner.

Empty fully, drain through the front faucet, wash the interior with warm soapy water, rinse, then sanitize with a food-safe solution and air dry with the lid open. Do this at least once a week and any time after transporting non-ice items, since residual moisture and biofilm build up fast in insulated walls.

Yes, keep these in mind during daily use: * Never use it to transport hot food; insulation is rated for cold contents only. * Do not exceed 125 lb of ice or stack heavy items on the lid. * Avoid using metal scoops with sharp edges that can gouge the polyethylene. * Do not pressure wash or dishwasher the unit; hand wash only. * Keep the drain plug closed during transport to prevent leaks.

Yes, the polyethylene shell handles outdoor use well and the wheels roll over hard ground without trouble. For full event setups including additional ice and beverage transport, our insulated food and beverage transport range covers caddies, carriers, and dollies in matching formats.
