Manitowoc D400 Storage Bin

Manitowoc Indigo NXT D400 ice storage bin.

The D400 stands out within the Manitowoc D-Series because it blends compact dimensions with generous storage capacity in a way few competitors match. At 30 inches wide and 38 inches tall, the unit is easy to fit beneath modular ice machine heads while still allowing workers to scoop ice comfortably and quickly. Manitowoc designed this bin with a clear emphasis on improving operator experience, from the angle of the door to the intuitive access points that let users open the bin from any position. This improves workflow in fast-paced environments where ice is accessed frequently and by multiple staff members.

Built to maintain ice quality.

From the moment it enters the bin until the moment it’s scooped. Its foamed-in-place insulation helps retain temperature and minimize melting, ensuring ice stays crisp and solid throughout long service periods. Operators benefit from Manitowoc’s signature Arctic Blue liner, which not only improves hygiene but also creates a bright interior that makes ice easier to spot and manage—especially in dimmer back-of-house environments. The D400 is compatible with a wide range of Manitowoc ice machine heads (as shown in the compatibility chart on page 2), and provides businesses with flexible options.

Prioritzing durability and performance.

Its Duratech™ metal exterior finish offers superior corrosion resistance compared to stainless steel, while also resisting smudges and fingerprints—reducing cleaning time and helping maintain a polished appearance in customer-visible spaces. The ergonomic bin door is angled at 53 degrees, making it easier to reach ice at the bottom of the bin without strain, a notable advantage for employees repeatedly scooping ice throughout a shift.

Simplified daily cleaning and sanitiation.

The D400’s smart, operator-friendly features includes NSF-approved sanitary scoop incorporates a knuckle guard and thumb guard to reduce hand contact with ice, supporting better hygiene. Its molded retaining lip ensures that with every scoop, maximum volume is captured—improving efficiency during peak service hours. The door and liner materials are smooth and resist build-up, making them easy to wipe down at the end of each shift. With a polyurethane Arctic Blue liner, operators can quickly identify remaining ice levels and spot any areas that need cleaning.

Product specs recap.

The Manitowoc D400 offers a well-balanced set of specifications that make it easy to integrate into both new and existing setups. The bin’s dimensions—38" H × 30" W × 34" D—allow it to be paired with most commercial ice machines without modifying counter or floor layouts. Its 365 lb (165.7 kg) AHRI-rated capacity corresponds to 12.3 cubic feet of internal volume, based on 2018 AHRI measurement standards. All D-Series bins include one set of adjustable 6"–7.75" legs, with specialty legs and casters available as accessories.
