Hydration Ice Carts, a Way to Stay Cool this Summer


"I am obsessed with ice cubes. Obsessed."
                                        - Drew Barrymore

If Drew is still obsessed with ice cubes, (and really, who isn't?) then I bet she would love to own one of the many different types of Ice and Refreshment Carts offered by Rehabmart. 

Also, all you football, basketball or other sports coaches out there, gather 'round and listen up.  Don't, I repeat, DO NOT let your athletes become dehydrated.  That is one of the most important things to remember.  It takes teamwork and devotion to your team to keep them hydrated and sweating freely.  You have to give 110% of the amount of water or ice that is needed for the game.  Don't take any time off during practice, either, keep your team hydrated as you would in a real game.  Ok, ready?  Let's go..1, 2, 3...REHYDRATE!

There are many reasons and situations that can require an ice and refreshment cart.  The field of sports is an obvious situation, but ice and refreshment carts can be used in other places such as schools during recreation time and also during school functions and events.  Towns or cities can use them for gatherings in the park or during other civic celebrations.  Ice carts can be used at company picnics or family reunions or even in the backyard for people who BBQ a lot and invite guests.

"My power is the ability to control water molecules and form them into ice."

The following ice and refreshment carts are only a few examples of the multitude of  carts that Rehabmart offers.  The Standard Line Ice Carts come in either a 36 quart insulated cooler or a 48 quart insulated cooler size.

It has an upper serving shelf and a lower storage shelf and it is supported by 3 inch easy-roll casters.  The size is 5'4" tall, 2'2" wide and 2' deep and this cart is available in your choice of four mesh colors.

A more basic style is the MJM Hydration/Ice Cart with 2 Storage Shelves and a Skirt.  Don't be fooled about this hydration cart wearing a skirt, it's tough and can be used for either boys or girls sports.  The 'skirt' or cover panels come in royal blue mesh fabric which helps to keep the heat of the sun from heating this outdoor ice cart.

This ice cart also comes with an ice chest, ice scoop, drain tubes, and two storage shelves for cups, bottles, etc.  The cart runs on heavy duty treaded single wheeled casters for more serious use.  The size is a compact, yet roomy 3' high, almost 2' wide and 2'8" long cart.

Want something suitable for an outdoor party or wedding?  Then the Party Ice Cart with Canopy can provide both convenience and style to the festival atmosphere!  

                                             From library.rehabmart.com

This ice cart has a serving shelf plus three storage shelves and comes with a mesh cover available in the festive confetti, as shown in the image, or a choice of twelve other colors.  The height is 6'5" and comes with 4" easy-roll casters.

The last example is a big'un.  It is the MJM Hydration Cart with Three 5 Gallon Water Coolers.  This is big enough to fill the gullets of a whole football team.  

                                       From library.rehabmart.com

It is over five feet tall and comes with three 5 gallon water coolers and an ice scoop, three storage drawers and a storage shelf.  It is also easy to push due to the four twin casters and the unique ergonomic handles.

With summer being right around the corner, be prepared for all of your outdoor activities with some ready and welcome cool hydration. If you are responsible for outdoor act ivies such as company picnics, family or school reunions, civic outdoor functions like a July 4th Holiday in the Park or if you are a sports coach or work in a school system, having a hydration cart is not only a good idea, it's a smart and healthy idea too.
