Manitowoc FC1350 1,000 lb F-Style Ice Bin Cart System, Gravity Dispense Chute, Two 240 lb Rolling Carts

The Manitowoc FC1350 is the F-Style line's storage and transport system, built for operations whose real problem is not holding ice but moving it, hotels, stadiums, and commissaries where crews haul ice to remote bars and stations all day. The 60 in. bin banks up to 1,000 lb of application capacity across 42 cu ft of insulated volume, and a gravity-fed chute dispenses into two included rolling carts 15 times faster than scooping, filling a cart with 200 lb of ice in one pull with no hand contact. That takes manual scooping, and the cross-contamination and back injuries that come with it, out of the daily routine. If your ice never leaves the machine room, a standard F1325 or F1650 bin stores as much or more without the cart hardware; this system earns its cost when ice travels. Plan for indoor installation with an 18.5 in. front clearance, a 1.25 in. ID slip-fit drain, a 75 in. bin height, and an installed depth of 58.5 in. with the snout and docked carts.

Gravity-Fed Chute That Fills a Cart in One Pull

A sliding gate above the cart dock releases stored ice by gravity, filling a docked cart with 200 lb of ice in a single pull and auto-returning to the closed position. Manitowoc rates the chute at 15 times the speed of manual scooping, and because no scoop or hand ever touches the flow, the transfer stays sanitary from bin to point of use. Two 240 lb lidded carts roll ice to bars, buffets, and prep stations and dock back under the chute to refill.

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.

Complete System with Bin, Base, Carts, Paddle, and Adapter

The FC1350 ships as a full package: the bin, its stand base, two 240 lb carts with lids, six flanged legs, an ice paddle, and a stainless steel K613048 single head adapter for mounting a modular cuber up to 48 in. wide; a K603030 side-by-side adapter is available for two 30 in. heads. First ice in, first ice out flow keeps the stored pile rotating, and impact-resistant sliding windows show the level at a glance. Optional K00416 tote carriers, a set of six holding 150 lb, cover stations that need lifted rather than wheeled transport.
