Water coolers and ice machines for warehouses and shops
Ice and cold water out where the crew works, a cooler for the office up front, and a team that keeps both running.
Warehouses and shops
A warehouse or shop runs on people who start early and get hot. Pickers and forklift drivers at a distribution center, a line crew at a plant, techs in a tire shop's bays, a contractor's guys loading trucks before sunrise. Most of them fill an insulated jug when they clock in, then come back for ice at lunch and again mid-afternoon, and in a Utah summer that last trip is the one that counts. The office up front is its own crowd: dispatch, purchasing and the front counter want cold water and something hot first thing.
What's there now is usually one of two things. A machine from a provider who used to come by and doesn't anymore, so the bin sits half-empty and nobody remembers who to call. Or a cooler somebody grabbed at a store, parked in a dusty corner with the filter it shipped with. Either way, Utah's hard water builds scale, shop dust coats the condenser, and nobody on a crew is paid to know how to fix that.
That part is our job. Our own technicians set the machine on your water line, run the drain and sweep up before they leave. Every 12 to 18 months we put maintenance on the calendar and swap the filters during that visit. If the ice stops, call us: the service call costs nothing, and we repair the machine or replace it. Some shops use us as their ice service for exactly that reason. Run it free for a week first; 98% of businesses that do keep it.
What it needs to do.
Ice by the jug, not the cup
Crews fill whole jugs at once, so the machine has to handle a shift-change rush and still have ice left at three o'clock. We size it to your crew at the site visit.
A machine that lives on the floor
A floor-standing dispenser can stand by the dock doors or the bays instead of in a break room across the building, as long as a supply line, a drain and an outlet are close.
Something for the front office
Dispatch, purchasing and the front counter are better served by a hot and cold cooler of their own than by a walk out to the shop floor.
Someone who knows ice machines
Nobody on your payroll should be descaling an ice machine on a Friday afternoon. We schedule the upkeep, and a dead machine is one call to a local person in Salt Lake.
What fits.
Our rep confirms the right mix at a free site visit.
- Commercial Ice MachinesA stainless floor-standing or countertop dispenser keeps up with a crew filling jugs through a hot shift. One paddle pours ice and the other pours water, so nobody digs in a bin with a scoop.
- Bottleless Water CoolersFor dispatch, the office up front or a small shop that mostly wants a cold drink, a freestanding hot and cold cooler on the building's own line covers it all day.
- Water & Ice Combo CoolersA small crew can sometimes get by on one combo unit with cold water, hot water and pebble ice. If your guys would outrun it by noon, our rep will say so.
Questions from warehouses and shops.
Anything else, just call. A real person picks up. 801-609-4321
Can the ice machine go out on the warehouse floor instead of in the break room?
Often, yes. Wherever it stands, it needs three things close by: a supply line we can tap into, somewhere to drain and power. Bigger ice machines use a slightly larger supply line, and we run it as part of the install. Our rep walks the floor with you and points out the spots that work, usually near the dock, the bays or the time clock.
We run a day shift and a swing shift. How do you figure out how much ice we need?
We ask about your people, not a spec sheet. How big is each shift, when do they clock in, do they fill jugs or cups, and does the building have air conditioning out on the floor? From that our rep recommends a machine, and if two smaller ones in different corners would beat one big one, we'll tell you.
Does OSHA require us to provide drinking water?
Yes. OSHA's sanitation standard says potable water has to be provided in all places of employment (29 CFR 1910.141). A sink in the break room technically meets that. Most shops want more than a sink for a crew working through a Utah summer, which is where we come in. For questions about your safety program, talk to your safety lead or OSHA; we stick to the water and the ice.
Will shop dust and heat wear out an ice machine?
They're hard on one. Dust settles on the condenser so the machine works harder, and hard water leaves scale inside. Our machines make ice from water that has already been through reverse osmosis, which takes most of the minerals out. At each scheduled maintenance visit we clean the machine, change the filters and check it over, and our rep can help you place it away from the worst of the dust.
Nobody here knows anything about ice machines. Can you just handle it?
That's the idea. Some businesses use us as their ice service: we install the machine, keep the maintenance on our calendar, and if it stops making ice, someone calls us and we come out. The service call is free, and we fix it or swap it. Your crew's only job is filling the jug.
Can our crew try it during a real work week?
Yes, and that's the best test. We'll install it free for a week so it sees real shifts, real jugs and a real afternoon rush, then follow up to see how it went. 98% of businesses that try one keep it. Send a request and we'll reach out within 1 business day.
