Commercial Ice Storage Bins for Professional Kitchens

Commercial ice storage bins hold the ice produced by your ice machine, keeping it frozen and hygienic until needed for service. They are a critical part of any commercial ice system, particularly in high-demand venues where ice production rate alone may not meet peak service demand — overnight storage builds an ice reserve that covers busy service periods. Key factors when selecting an ice storage bin include storage capacity (matched to peak daily demand plus a safety buffer), footprint dimensions, whether it needs to connect directly to an ice machine head, insulation quality, drain configuration, and sanitation — food-grade polyethylene or stainless steel interior linings are standard for commercial applications. Transport silo systems with integrated motorised conveyors are available for operations requiring ice transfer over distance.

Our Ice Storage Bin Range

Atlantic Equipment stocks ice storage bins from Skope SILO, Hoshizaki, and Scotsman — three of the world’s most trusted commercial refrigeration brands. The Skope SILO S series ranges from the S130 (compact 130kg bin) through to the S500 (480kg), with the SCD series transport systems offering motorised ice conveyors up to 1,036kg capacity for large-venue applications. Hoshizaki ice storage bins are available in 144kg, 217kg, and 348kg capacities in stainless steel-lined construction. Scotsman NB-series bins range from the NB-193 through to the NB-948 (406kg), with slope-front designs for easy ice access. Scotsman bin covers are also available for models that require a lid for hygiene compliance.

Ice Storage Bins FAQs

What types of ice storage bins does Atlantic Equipment stock?

We stock standalone ice storage bins from 130kg to 480kg capacity, transport silo systems with integrated motorised conveyors up to 1,036kg, and bin covers and accessories. Brands include Skope SILO (S and SCD transport series), Hoshizaki (144kg, 217kg, 348kg), and Scotsman (NB-193 to NB-948).

What should I look for when buying a commercial ice storage bin?

Match storage capacity to your peak daily ice demand plus a 20–30% safety buffer. Check that the bin dimensions are compatible with your ice machine head, confirm the interior lining material (food-grade polyethylene or stainless steel), check drain location, and consider whether a transport silo system is needed if ice needs to be moved across your facility. Always verify bin compatibility with your specific ice machine brand and model before purchasing.

What brands of ice storage bins does Atlantic Equipment carry?

We carry Skope SILO (S series standalone bins from 130–500kg and SCD motorised transport silo systems), Hoshizaki (stainless steel-lined bins in 144kg, 217kg, and 348kg), and Scotsman (NB series slope-front bins from 193kg to 406kg, plus bin covers for hygiene compliance).

Can I get ice storage bins delivered Australia-wide?

Yes. Atlantic Equipment delivers commercial ice storage bins to all Australian states and territories. Large capacity bins and transport silo systems are dispatched via specialist freight with kerbside delivery. Contact us for a freight quote to your location and to discuss installation logistics.

How do I calculate what size ice storage bin I need for my venue?

Calculate your peak daily ice consumption by multiplying your busiest day’s cover count by average ice use per cover (typically 200–300g for beverages). Add ice used for seafood, display, and food chilling. Your storage bin capacity should hold at least the equivalent of your peak daily demand — ideally 1.5x to cover surges. For large venues, a transport silo system allows ice to be stored centrally and delivered to multiple service points via motorised conveyor, reducing manual handling.
