This offer ends in:
The PIB183016 is a mobile ice storage bin built for bar service and beverage stations. It holds ice in a 390×710×410 mm insulated bowl and moves on four swivel castors. Operators use it to position chilled ice and beverages at service points during high-volume bar operations.
Commercial Application
Bar staff use this unit to eliminate trips to remote ice machines. The bin sits at the service station with ice loaded at the start of shift. Two bottle holders mount on the frame to keep mixers, syrups, or sodas chilled and within arm's reach during service.
During peak service hours the unit remains stationary with brakes locked. Between shifts or for cleaning it rolls away on 127 mm castors. The 1-inch IPS drain at the base removes meltwater without lifting or tilting the unit.
Key Operational Advantages
- Insulated walls reduce melt rate during extended bar service shifts
- Four castors with two locking brakes — mobile during setup, stable during service
- 1.0 mm 304 stainless steel construction on bowl, top, body, and base frame
- 1-inch IPS drain enables gravity drainage without manual bucket transfer
- Two integrated bottle holders for mixers or sodas at working height
- 20 kg total weight allows single-operator repositioning when empty

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What grade of stainless steel is used in the PIB183016?
A: The bowl, top, body, and base use 1.0 mm thick 304-grade stainless steel. All food-contact and structural surfaces meet the same material standard.
Q: What is the ice holding capacity of the insulated bowl?
A: The bowl measures 390×710×410 mm internally. Actual ice volume depends on cube size and packing density, but operators typically load 60–80 litres for shift service.
Q: Can the unit remain stationary during bar service?
A: Yes. Two of the four castors have locking brakes. Engage both brakes to secure the bin at the service station during peak hours.
Q: How is meltwater drained from the ice bin?
A: A 1-inch IPS drain at the base connects to standard bar drainage or a bucket. Gravity drainage eliminates the need to lift or tilt the unit.
Q: Are the bottle holders adjustable or removable?
A: The two bottle holders are mounted on the frame and hold standard mixer or soda bottles. Consult TurcoBazaar technical support for custom bracket configurations or replacement parts.
