Manitowoc F1300 994 lb F-Style Ice Storage Bin, 48 in. Wide, Stainless Steel Exterior, Polyethylene Lift Door

The Manitowoc F1300 is the 48 in. wide middle step of the F-Style line, built for operations whose single ice machine head outproduces what a 30 in. bin can hold overnight. It banks up to 994 lb of application capacity across 41.9 cu ft of insulated volume, so a banquet kitchen or high-volume restaurant can build a full day's ice ahead of service and keep scooping through back-to-back rushes while the machine replenishes behind the door. First ice in, first ice out flow keeps the oldest ice moving forward instead of fusing at the bottom. It holds one machine head only; if you need to gang two 30 in. heads over one bin, the 60 in. F1325-3030 is built for that, and the F700 covers rooms where 48 in. of width will not fit. Plan for indoor installation with an 18.5 in. front clearance to swing the door, a 1 in. FPT drain, and a door snout that brings installed depth to 39 in.

Welded Stainless Steel Cabinet with Foamed-In-Place Insulation

The exterior is heavy-duty welded stainless steel on the front and sides, a construction that shrugs off cart strikes and mop-line corrosion in the wet, high-traffic areas where bulk bins live. Foamed-in-place, non-CFS insulation fills the walls to slow meltdown, so ice banked overnight is still ice, not drain water, when the morning crew arrives. The interior holds ice on a durable polyethylene liner rather than bare metal.

Polyethylene Lift Door with Ball Catch Hinge and Sliding Inspection Windows

The lift door is molded polyethylene with no sharp corners and no gaskets to split, harden, or harbor buildup, and a ball catch hinge holds it open so both hands stay free for scooping. Impact-resistant sliding windows let staff check the ice level at a glance without lifting the door and spilling cold air. When the door is open, the wide snout gives maximum access for fast removal by scoop or shovel.

First Ice In, First Ice Out Flow with a Self-Closing Ice Gate

Ice rotates on a first in, first out path, so the oldest ice is always the next ice out the door instead of compacting into a frozen mass at the bottom of the bin. A sliding ice gate meters the flow to a scoop or shovel and returns to the closed position automatically, which keeps the pile contained when a hurried employee walks away mid-fill.

Included Bin Adapter, 6 In. Legs, and Sanitary Scoop

The bin ships with a stainless steel K483048 single head adapter to mount one 30 in. or 48 in. cuber head, plus four 6 in. legs and a 5.3 lb capacity blue ABS sanitary scoop with a knuckle guard. Cube machines require a separate ice deflector matched to the machine model; flaker and nugget heads mount without one. Optional handling accessories include the K00412 46.5 in. paddle, K00414 36 in. shovel, K00461 external scoop holder with K00482 hanger, and K00416 tote carriers, a set of six that holds 150 lb for lifted transport.
