San Jamar Plastic Light Duty Ice Tote, 6 Gallons, Blue

Description

Product Overview

The San Jamar Plastic Light Duty Ice Tote is engineered for food‑service professionals who need a dependable, easy‑to‑handle container for large volumes of ice. Constructed from high‑impact polypropylene, the tote offers a sturdy yet lightweight solution that can safely hold up to 25 lb of ice, equivalent to 6 gallons. Its ergonomic dual‑grip handles are positioned for balanced carrying, reducing strain during transport. The recessed bottom design raises the ice handling area, providing a stable base when the tote is full and simplifying the pouring process. Integrated into the tote is a Handi‑Hook, a built‑in hanger that allows the tote to be suspended from hooks, racks, or other storage fixtures, keeping the workspace organized and freeing up floor space. Clear “ICE ONLY” labeling on the side ensures that the tote is used exclusively for ice, preventing cross‑contamination with food items. The product meets NSF standards, confirming its suitability for commercial food‑service environments.

Usage

Designed for a wide range of applications, this ice tote excels in catering events, banquet halls, outdoor festivals, and restaurant back‑of‑house operations. Whether you are preparing a buffet, serving a cocktail hour, or need a reliable ice source for a mobile food truck, the tote’s 6‑gallon capacity ensures you have ample ice on hand without frequent refills. The dual‑grip handles make it easy for staff to lift and move the tote from a freezer to a serving station, while the recessed bottom allows for smooth pouring into ice bins, drink dispensers, or directly onto trays. The Handi‑Hook feature enables the tote to be hung on kitchen racks, prep tables, or portable stands, keeping it within easy reach and reducing clutter. Its NSF‑listed construction guarantees that the material will not leach harmful substances into the ice, making it safe for direct contact with consumables.
