Global Industrial 288197 Dry Ice Storage Container

Product Description

The GLOBAL INDUSTRIAL 288197 is a large-format dry ice storage container designed for bulk cold storage in commercial, industrial, and food-service environments. Constructed from a special blend of FDA-approved, food-grade polyethylene molded to 3 inches thick, the container features foam-filled wall construction that provides continuous insulation and helps slow dry ice sublimation. A fitted lid and integrated casters allow sealed storage and easy repositioning across warehouse or facility floors. At 173 pounds, this is a heavy-duty unit built for stationary or semi-mobile cold storage applications. Technicians and facility personnel working in food processing, research labs, or cold-chain logistics will find this container suited to high-demand dry ice handling.

This container is used in commercial and industrial settings where large volumes of dry ice must be stored and transported within a facility. Typical applications include food-service distribution, laboratory cold storage, medical supply handling, and event or catering operations requiring extended dry ice containment. The caster-equipped base makes it practical in loading dock and cooler-room environments where mobility between workstations is needed. The blue color coding can assist with zone or content identification in larger facilities.

Compatibility

Designed as a standalone dry ice storage container for commercial and industrial cold-storage applications. No specific system integration or OEM replacement compatibility is stated for this unit.

Installation Notes

Placement and setup of this container should be performed by facility maintenance personnel or a qualified cold-storage technician. Ensure the floor surface is rated to support the combined weight of the unit and its dry ice load before deploying casters. Always use appropriate PPE including insulated gloves when handling dry ice, as direct contact causes cryogenic burns. Verify adequate ventilation in the storage area, as dry ice sublimation produces carbon dioxide gas that can displace oxygen in enclosed spaces.
