Stainless Steel Drop-In Ice Bin

IB3618 Built-In Ice Bin with Sliding Lid for Bars, Beverage Stations, and Commercial Counters

Keep ice within easy reach during service with the IB3618 stainless steel drop-in ice bin, a built-in ice storage solution designed for bars, beverage counters, concession setups, and restaurant service areas that need dependable ice access without taking up extra counter space. The manufacturer lists the IB3618 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 workstation by integrating ice storage directly into the countertop. The insulated body is designed to help support better ice retention, while the removable sliding lid allows quick access during busy 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 chilled ingredient access matters throughout the day.

For operators building or upgrading a beverage station, the IB3618 offers a practical combination of 81 lb ice capacity, built-in drainage, and a larger countertop footprint for higher-volume use.
