Reduce Slip and Falls with B&P Ice Carts
A Smarter Solution for Safer Ice Handling
Modern Ice Equipment & Supply
In the ice industry, safety and efficiency go hand in hand. Whether you’re transporting bags of ice through a production facility or across a loading dock, one misstep on a slick floor can lead to serious injuries, downtime, and costly liabilities. That’s why having the right equipment isn’t just a convenience—it’s a necessity.
B&P Ice Carts are purpose-built to reduce slip and fall risks, helping your team move product more safely and efficiently in cold, wet environments.
Why Slip and Falls Are a Concern in Ice Handling
Wet surfaces and melting ice are part of daily operations in most packaged ice plants and retail delivery routes. When combined with high-volume cart movement and heavy loads, the risk of workplace incidents increases significantly. According to the National Safety Council, slip and fall accidents are one of the leading causes of workplace injuries in industrial environments.
The B&P Ice Cart, Designed with Safety in Mind
- Improved Floor Traction - designed to contain meltwater runoff, keeping it off facility floors. This reduces the amount of slick surfaces in walkways and loading areas.
- Ergonomic Handles & Stable Mobility - The carts come equipped with ergonomically placed, easy-grip handles and precision wheel configurations to allow for steady control. Whether your team is navigating ramps or tight corners, stability is built into every turn.
- Smooth Rolling Casters with Braking - High-quality casters offer smooth mobility across wet or uneven surfaces, and lock-in-place braking systems give you control during loading and unloading, minimizing chances of slipping while repositioning the cart.
- Durable Construction for Heavy Loads - B&P’s aluminum or reinforced plastic designs resist warping and cracking—even in fluctuating temperatures—ensuring your team isn’t caught off guard by damaged or unstable carts.
- Easy Drainage Options - Some cart models come with drain holes or removable liners for better water control, so your facility floors stay dry and safe. This directly addresses one of the biggest contributors to slips: water pooling under and around carts.
Designed for Your Workflow
– Reduce repetitive lifting, thanks to higher cart walls and capacity.
– Avoid overloading by standardizing transport volumes.
– Move product directly to point-of-sale or loading docks with minimal product handling.
– Fewer injury reports related to slips and falls
– More efficient bag handling and loading processes
– Improved team morale and retention due to safer work conditions
All of these factors lead to fewer trip hazards, less lifting-related strain, and better safety practices throughout the shift.
