Manitowoc D400 Ice Bin 30"W X 34"D X 38"H With Side-hinged Front-opening Door

Keep more ice ready when demand peaks

The D400 ice bin gives busy foodservice operations a substantial reserve in a manageable 30-inch equipment line. Its accessible door, included sanitary scoop, and dedicated scoop storage help employees retrieve ice efficiently without turning every refill into a chore.

The D400 is a storage bin, not an ice maker. It becomes part of a working ice system only after it’s paired with a compatible modular machine and any required mounting components.

Plan for peak demand, not just daily totals

Manitowoc publishes 365 pounds of application capacity for the D400 ice bin. That reserve can help restaurants, bars, cafeterias, and other high-use operations build ice ahead of concentrated service periods.

Storage capacity and daily production aren’t interchangeable. The modular machine determines how quickly new ice becomes available, while the bin determines how much finished ice can be held between production and use. A larger reserve can carry an operation through a rush, but it can’t compensate for a machine that consistently produces less ice than the business consumes.

Actual stored weight can vary with the ice type, density, shape, and settling pattern. Size the complete system around realistic production conditions, peak-period withdrawals, and the amount of reserve needed before the machine catches up.

Our commercial ice bin guide explains how to balance machine production, storage, and peak demand.

Make frequent ice retrieval less cumbersome

The D400’s door can be raised from the left, right, or center, which gives employees more flexibility in a busy work area. Its self-latching design holds the door open during retrieval, while the angled opening helps staff reach farther into the bin with less awkward bending.

The insulated door helps limit heat transfer and surface sweating. Because the bin isn’t mechanically refrigerated, some melting remains normal. Proper drainage allows that meltwater to leave instead of collecting around the stored ice.

Manitowoc includes a sanitary scoop with a molded retaining lip and protection for the user’s thumb and knuckles. The built-in holder keeps the scoop handle above the ice, supporting cleaner handling and making the scoop easier to find during service.

For operations that prefer metal, an optional Manitowoc K00463 ice scoop is available separately.

Confirm the complete ice system before checkout

A matching width doesn’t guarantee that a modular ice machine will mount directly to the D400. Compatibility depends on the complete machine model, footprint, ice-drop opening, weight, and any required adapter or deflector.

Before ordering, have the following information ready:

• The complete modular ice-machine model number
• The operation’s realistic daily and peak-period ice demand
• The required reserve between production cycles
• The available footprint and completed system height
• The site’s drainage, airflow, and service-access plan

Confirming the complete combination before purchase helps prevent incompatible equipment, missing installation components, and avoidable delays. IceMachinesPlus can help review the machine, bin, adapter, and deflector as one system before the order is placed.

Protect the reserve during daily service

Stored ice is food, so the liner, door, scoop, and scoop holder should be treated as food-contact areas. Use the included scoop or another approved ice scoop, keep its handle out of the ice, and close the door after each retrieval.

During routine service:

• Keep cups, glasses, bottles, cans, food, labels, and chemicals out of the bin.
• Inspect for slow drainage, standing water, residue, or visible contamination.
• Discard the ice if contamination is known or suspected.
• Clean and sanitize the bin using procedures and chemicals approved for commercial ice equipment.
• Never mix ice-machine cleaner and sanitizer.

The commercial ice-machine cleaning guide can help with general sanitation planning. Follow the instructions supplied with the equipment and cleaning products for the actual procedure.

D400 ice bin FAQs

What does the D400 ice bin do?

The D400 stores finished ice from a compatible top-mounted modular ice machine. It doesn’t make ice, mechanically refrigerate it, or increase the mounted machine’s production rate.

How much ice does the D400 ice bin hold?

Manitowoc publishes 365 pounds of application capacity for the D400. Actual stored weight can vary with the ice type, density, shape, and how the ice settles inside the bin.

Which ice machines fit the Manitowoc D400?

Fit depends on the complete ice-machine model and any required adapter, deflector, or fastening hardware. Matching the machine and bin by width alone isn’t enough to confirm compatibility.

Is the Manitowoc D400 refrigerated?

No. The D400 is insulated but not mechanically refrigerated, so some melting is normal. Meltwater leaves through the bin drain while the mounted machine produces replacement ice.

Should the ice machine and bin be sized separately?

Yes. The machine should be sized for realistic daily production, while the bin should provide enough reserve for peak demand. Both components must also be approved for installation together.

The D400 ice bin is a strong fit when an operation needs a deeper reserve, easier employee access, and an approved storage base for a compatible modular machine. Compare other commercial ice-storage bins if another capacity, footprint, or access style better fits the workflow.
