blog over Carlisle Launches 200pound Cateraide Ice Cart in Slate Blue

In the fast-paced food service industry, efficiency, durability, and superior storage capacity remain critical success factors. Carlisle FoodService Products has announced the expansion of its acclaimed Cateraide™ ice storage cart series with a new 200-pound capacity model in Slate Blue (Product #IC222059), offering professionals another innovative equipment solution.

The Cateraide™ ice storage cart maintains Carlisle's signature craftsmanship while delivering comprehensive functional upgrades designed to meet the rigorous demands of large-scale events, banquets, and high-volume food service operations. Its 200-pound ice storage capacity provides exceptional space efficiency within a compact footprint, effectively addressing peak-hour ice supply challenges.

Thoughtful Design, Precision Engineering

The Cateraide™ 200-pound model showcases user-centric design innovations. Its fully-opening lid lies flush against the cart's side when open, optimizing workspace in crowded kitchens or service areas. The front-mounted faucet enables rapid drainage and simplified cleaning, while the interior sloped base ensures complete water evacuation to maintain hygienic, dry storage conditions.

Dual handles enhance mobility and safety during transport, while 10-inch mar-resistant rear tires navigate uneven surfaces with ease. Two swivel casters (one locking, one non-locking) provide additional stability and steering control for operational convenience.

Commercial-Grade Durability

Constructed from rugged, shatterproof melamine, the unit withstands daily wear and impact. Stainless steel-reinforced hinges resist corrosion for extended product life. The interior partition system facilitates ice access while promoting proper drainage, preventing prolonged water immersion that could compromise ice quality.

Customizable Aesthetics

Beyond the new Slate Blue finish, the Cateraide™ 200-pound cart remains available in classic Black and vibrant Forest Green options to complement various venue aesthetics. All color variants are manufactured in the United States, ensuring quality craftsmanship while supporting domestic employment.

Industry Compliance

Comprehensive Support

Carlisle offers replacement components including 10-inch mar-resistant tires, 5-inch swivel casters (with/without brakes), and faucet/drain assemblies to extend the product's service life through proper maintenance.
