Everything you need to know
How long will this ice box keep contents cold?
It depends on how you pack it, the weather, and how often it’s opened. But when prepped right, you’ll get seriously long-lasting chill — perfect for camping, remote work, or keeping drinks icy all weekend.
Can I use it for food storage?
Absolutely — every Tropical Ice Box is made with food-grade materials and is safe for storing food, drinks, bait, or anything you need kept cold.
Can I use dry ice?
Yes — Tropical Ice Boxes are suitable for use with dry ice. They’re built with durable, food-grade materials that can handle extreme cold. If you’re using dry ice, we recommend:
- Wrapping the dry ice in newspaper or cardboard to slow sublimation.
- Avoiding direct skin contact (always use gloves).
- Allowing for ventilation when transporting, as dry ice releases CO₂ gas.
Does it come with straps, rubber feet, or a drain plug?
Each Tropical Ice Box is built with features suited to its size:
- T10 – Compact with a heavy-duty webbing strap. Lid is completely removable. No rubber feet or drain plug.
- T25 – Includes a webbing strap and side handles. Fixed hinged lid with the reinforced super hinge. No rubber feet or drain plug.
- T35 – Larger size with side carry handles and fixed hinged lid with super hinge. No rubber feet or drain plug.
- T52 -T200 – Feature fixed hinged lids with the super hinge, carry handles, plus rubber feet and a drain plug for easy emptying.
- All standard models (up to T160) – Come with our tough loop-and-button lid system and reinforced super hinge (except the T10 & T25 which uses dual lid loops).
👉 This way, you can quickly see which model has the setup that works best for you.
What are the ice boxes made from?
Tropical Ice Boxes are built from durable one-skin polyethylene with thick insulation, UV protection, and food-grade materials.
