Expert Review and Insights
The Cambro ICS125L is one of those bits of kit you don't realise you need until you have one. It’s brilliantly simple but solves a major headache for any venue that uses a lot of ice. Its mobility is a standout, but the real genius is the internal drain shelf. It’s a small detail that makes a huge difference to ice quality and longevity throughout a long, demanding service.

- Bulk and Weight: When fully loaded, it can be heavy, so plan your route on stairs.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Grand Pier in Weston-super-Mare needed a reliable way to get ice from their main kitchen to several seasonal kiosks along the pier. Their old system of using multiple small coolers was slow, messy, and resulted in significant ice melt before it even reached the vendors.
"The Cambro ice caddy has completely streamlined our summer operations. It’s sturdy enough for the constant movement, and the insulation is incredible. We’re serving better quality drinks and our staff aren't running back and forth all day. It's a simple, robust solution that just works."
Robert Davies – Operations Manager
The venue reduced ice wastage by an estimated 30% and cut down staff transport time by over an hour each day during peak season.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Upon arrival, check that all casters are securely fitted and rotate freely.
- Before its first use, wash the interior thoroughly with warm, soapy water and rinse well.
- Pat the interior completely dry with a clean cloth to maximise insulation performance.
- Find a convenient, out-of-the-way storage spot for the caddy when not in use.
Keeping It Going
- After each use, empty any remaining ice and drain all meltwater using the faucet.
- Clean the interior regularly with a non-abrasive cleaner to prevent mould or odours.
- Ensure the drain faucet is closed securely before refilling with fresh ice.
- Wipe down the exterior and the sliding lid to maintain a professional, clean appearance.

Explore more from CambroWhy Dry Ice Lasts Longer: The Drain Shelf Explained
Ever wondered why the ice at the bottom of a cooler melts so fast? It's because it's sitting in a puddle of its own meltwater. Water is a great conductor of heat, so it rapidly melts the ice it touches. The Cambro ice caddy with sliding lid has a clever solution: a recessed drain shelf.
Think of it like having a colander inside your ice bin. The shelf elevates the bulk of the ice, so as the outer layer inevitably melts, the water drips down and collects in the recessed well at the bottom, far away from the solid cubes. This simple separation means your ice stays colder, more solid, and useful for much, much longer. It’s the secret to serving perfectly chilled, undiluted drinks from the first to the last.
Who Should Buy This?
- Hotel & Conference Venues: Easily transport ice from the main kitchen to function rooms, bars, and water stations for events.
- Mobile Bar & Event Caterers: Keep ice perfectly frozen and hygienic during transit and service at weddings, festivals, and corporate gigs.
- Busy Pubs & Bars: A must-have for establishments with island bars or outdoor seating, reducing trips to a distant ice machine.
- Large-Scale Canteens: Ideal for university halls, hospitals, and workplace canteens to efficiently stock self-service drink stations.
