Patented Construction Features
All steel construction with no fasteners, welding, or adhesives. The offset seams are precision machine formed, resulting in water-tight lock-form seams that create a stronger and more durable merchandiser. This increases longevity by reducing moisture penetration into the insulation.
Increased insulation to reduce heat infiltration into the unit – resulting in consistent and optimal temperatures of 16°F – 24°F. There’s 2.5″ of high-performance, eco-friendly, insulation in the ceiling and walls, and 3” of insulation in the floor.
The exterior of the merchandiser is finished with a two-part primer/top coat all-weather paint to provide superior resistance to humidity, corrosion, and other weather conditions.
Patented Removable Floor
Pallet Load Models
Insulated removable floor designed to easily transfer full pallets of ice in and out of the merchandiser via a pallet jack.
Protective Tread Plate
Pallet Load Models
Standard with diamond tread plate to protect the merchandiser from dents and damage from customers and shopping carts.
Large Interior Capacity
Pallet Load Models
Interior capacity large enough to fit a full pallet of ice, while still on the pallet.
High-Impact Breaker Strip
High-impact breaker strip, located around the perimeter of the door jamb, durable enough to withstand excessive wear and tear and provide a thermal break between the merchandiser interior and exterior.
Aluminum Door Frame
The glass is encased in a long-lasting, durable, light-weight, aluminum frame.
Insulated Tempered Glass
The doors contain argon-filled insulated tempered glass. The argon insulation decreases the merchandisers’ U-Value, which is essentially the amount of solar heat transfer the glass allows into the unit.
Spring-Assisted Hinges
The hinges are adjustable to ensure a lifetime of level, and solid sealing doors. Additionally, the springs help the door close securely and avoid accidentally being left open.
Chrome-Finish Hardware
All hardware, including hinges and handles, have a chrome-finish to provide greater, strength durability, resistance to corrosion, and aesthetics.
Large Door Openings
Oversized door openings for increased view and accessibility of the ice, and ease of merchandising during restock.
Oversized Transport-Style Doors
Pallet Load Models
Oversized transport-style doors large enough for a full pallet of ice to be loaded into the merchandiser via a pallet jack, in just minutes.
Top-of-the-Line Door Gaskets
Outdoor Models
The gaskets contain extra air chambers as well as a magnetic strip to provide a tight insulation around the doors. The gasket material is Santoprene®, which is designed to withstand harsh outdoor climates without breaking or becoming brittle. Together these features improve the sealing performance and durability of the gaskets and merchandiser door. Therefore, making the merchandiser more energy efficient and better at keeping ice in premium condition.
Enhanced Door Frames
Outdoor Models
The door frame is a combination of both rigid and flexible PVC, which provides better protection against dirt and water in the field and foam exposure during the manufacturing process.
Inset Doors
Outdoor Models
The 2″ inset doors provide greater insulation, reduce condensation, and improves the performance of merchandiser.

Leer ice merchandisers are a smart fit anywhere bagged ice needs to stay cold, visible, and easy to access, including restaurants and bars, ice manufacturers and distributors, and retail stores like grocery and convenience. They also work well for campgrounds, marinas and bait shops, and events or fairs where demand spikes and quick grab-and-go access matters.
Looking For Coolers?
Refrigerated reach in coolers are a smart pick when you need flexible cold storage for products like drinks, dairy, and packaged foods, but if your main focus is bagged ice, an ice merchandiser is the better match since it’s made specifically to keep ice frozen, handle moisture from melting, and support quick grab-and-go sales.
