Stainless Steel Drop-In Ice Bin

IB2818 Built-In Ice Bin with Sliding Lid for Bars, Beverage Stations, and Commercial Counters

Keep ice conveniently close at hand with the IB2818 stainless steel drop-in ice bin, a built-in solution designed for bars, beverage stations, concession counters, and restaurant service areas that need dependable ice storage without sacrificing workspace. The manufacturer lists the IB2818 in its drop-in ice bin series with durable stainless steel construction, insulation between walls, a removable sliding lid, mounting hardware included, and a 1" center NPT ice bin drain.

Its drop-in format helps create a cleaner, more efficient prep layout by integrating ice storage directly into the counter. The insulated body is designed to help keep ice colder longer, while the removable sliding lid allows fast access during service while helping keep the bin covered when not in use. The manufacturer’s spec sheet also positions this style of bin for bar, concession, and kiosk applications where stored ice needs to stay insulated over time.

For operators building or upgrading a beverage station, the IB2818 offers a practical balance of 62 lb ice capacity, built-in drainage, and a countertop-friendly footprint.
