Ice Machines for Construction & Industrial Sites
Keep crews safe and operations running with reliable ice production for jobsites, warehouses, and industrial facilities. We sell, lease, and rent commercial ice machines across Southern California.
Why Construction & Industrial Companies Choose Us
We understand the demands of construction and industrial environments. Our ice machine solutions are built for tough conditions and flexible project timelines.
Worker Safety
Prevent heat illness on jobsites with a reliable, on-site ice supply that keeps crews hydrated and OSHA-compliant.
Concrete Curing & Industrial Cooling
Flake and nugget ice lower concrete pour temperatures and support industrial cooling processes in hot weather.
Rugged & Portable Options
Durable, mobile-ready ice machines built to perform in demanding construction and industrial environments.
Flexible Purchasing
Buy, lease, or rent — short-term rentals are popular for seasonal projects and temporary jobsites.
How Much Ice Does Your Jobsite or Facility Need?
Ice requirements vary widely in construction and industrial settings. Use the chart below to estimate your daily needs based on your application.
| Application | Ice Needed |
|---|---|
| Outdoor Workers (Hot Weather) | 5-10 lbs per worker |
| Warehouse / Plant Workers | 3 lbs per worker |
| Concrete Curing | Up to 75% of batch water |
| Industrial Cooling | Varies by application |
Example: A construction crew of 40 workers in 95°F heat needs approximately 200-400 lbs of ice daily for hydration alone. Concrete pours in hot weather also require significant ice volumes — ice can replace up to 75% of batch water to reduce mix temperatures by up to 20°F.
Per OSHA heat illness prevention guidelines, employers must provide cool water and ice in hot work environments.

Construction & Industrial Ice Machine FAQs
Common questions about choosing ice machines for construction jobsites, warehouses, and industrial facilities.
For most construction jobsites, a portable or mobile ice machine producing 200-800 lbs per day is ideal. These units are durable, easy to relocate between sites, and can run on standard electrical connections. For larger projects with 50+ workers in hot weather, a high-capacity modular unit may be necessary. Contact us for a free site assessment.
OSHA recommends providing cool water and ice to prevent heat illness. In hot weather (above 90°F), plan for 5-10 lbs of ice per worker per day for drinking water and cooling. A crew of 30 workers could need 150-300 lbs of ice daily. We can help you calculate the right capacity for your crew size and climate conditions.
It depends on your project timeline. For short-term projects (a few weeks to several months), renting is usually the most cost-effective option — you get the machine you need without a long-term commitment, and maintenance is typically included. For permanent facilities like warehouses or plants, purchasing or leasing offers better long-term value. We offer all three options and can help you decide.
We are authorized dealers for Manitowoc, Scotsman, Hoshizaki, and Ice-O-Matic — the four leading commercial ice machine manufacturers. Each brand offers industrial-grade models built for demanding environments, and we can help you choose the best fit for your construction or industrial application.
Yes. Flake ice is widely used in concrete production to lower the mix temperature during hot-weather pours. Per ACI 305 guidelines, concrete must not exceed 95°F (35°C) at placement, and ice can lower the mix temperature by up to 20°F. Ice replaces a portion of the batch water — up to 75% — and must fully melt before mixing is complete. Our industrial flake ice machines are built for this high-demand application.
