The Classic Front Load Ice Cream Tricycles more than 75 years ago when the Good Humor Company was first established and looking for methods to get their products out to the neighborhoods they wanted to serve.
Since then, these classic vehicles have become a part of American culture.
Remember the jing-a-ling of the ice cream bells as the local "ice cream man’ rode through your neighborhood?
Well chances are, he was riding a USA made Tricycle. These cycles are super durable and naturally require no fuel, emit no fumes and are fun to ride.
The front cabinet on the model V-ICT is an insulated stainless steel box measuring 36x23x28" on the outside, thickly insulated with a snap shut air-tight 10×10" door. A dry ice shelf is located inside the cabinet for convenient loading of dry ice. A handy exterior compartment is standard for storing napkins or other items. Using dry ice, these vehicles are ideal for vending pre-packaged novelty ice cream.
All Dry Ice models come with a drain for easy interior cleaning.

ABOUT DRY ICE:
1. What do I need in order to prepare for the use dry ice? Before all else, an insulated container or chest will be needed to hold the dry ice. This container should remain closed as much as possible until the dry ice is ready to be utilized. You should not store dry ice in the refrigerator or the freezer—the dry ice will dissipate faster due to the circulation of air in those appliances.
2. How do I handle dry ice safely? Dry Ice Information Technically speaking, Dry Ice is the solid form of carbon dioxide. Dry Ice is used as a cooling agent because it is significantly colder than regular ice (frozen water), and is approximately half its weight. In addition, as regular ice melts, water is produced; but as dry ice melts, it dissipates directly into the air. Dry ice is most commonly used as a means to cool and preserve food, using non-cyclic refrigeration. This is beneficial because there is no machinery involved—which can sometimes fail and pose many problems to the user. When it comes to vending carts, dry ice is the obvious choice. Not only is dry ice an effective means to keep products cold, but also it is also inexpensive and simple to use. Since there are no moving mechanical parts, the cart is affordable, as well as lightweight and portable. The only thing needed for use is the dry ice itself, which is easy to attain, and inexpensive as well. Although dry ice is very effective, it must be handled with caution.
3. How long will dry ice function in my Worksman vending cart? Although it varies from outside conditions, typically 15-25lbs of dry ice should be sufficient for a normal workday of 8-10 hours.
4. How do I use it in my Worksman vending cart? It is very simple to use a dry ice cooled Worksman vending cart. In most Worksman vending carts there is a shelf at the top of the cooling chamber that is meant to hold the dry ice. Simply place a sufficient amount of dry ice on the shelf, and allow it to cool the cart and its contents.
5. In selling what product is best used with dry ice? Dry ice is best used in selling pre-packaged novelty ice cream.
