Designed for 5-pan capacity with full, 1/2, and 1/3-size pans from 2-1/2" to 8" deep, the ML180XL keeps contents hot or cold for 5+ hours. The snap-seal lid ensures secure closure and temperature retention, while four integrated handles and generous hand recesses make handling easy.

The Metro ML180XL Multi-Purpose Insulated Food and Beverage Carrier is a lightweight, rugged, and highly efficient solution for transporting meals, beverages, and food pans in a wide range of environments. Whether you’re delivering lunches to classrooms, catering a large event, or transporting food to an off-site venue, this versatile top-loading carrier is designed to keep your items at safe temperatures for extended periods while remaining easy to carry, store, and clean.
Constructed from expanded polypropylene (EPP), this insulated carrier offers a remarkable strength-to-weight ratio, meaning it’s both extremely durable and significantly lighter than traditional alternatives. Weighing only 7.4 pounds, the ML180XL is up to 80% lighter than polymer-molded insulated carriers and 60% lighter than most coolers, which greatly reduces the physical strain on your staff and makes transport more efficient. Despite its low weight, this unit is engineered to withstand impacts and the harsh realities of transport without denting, cracking, or losing shape.
The ML180XL is designed with flexibility in mind. It fits full-size, half-size, and third-size food pans ranging in depth from 2.5 to 8 inches. Its generous 5-pan capacity allows you to load several trays or meal containers at once, making it ideal for schools, healthcare, corporate catering, and mobile foodservice operations. The 2-inch thick insulation surrounding the unit provides reliable thermal retention, keeping contents hot or cold for over 5 hours. From steaming entrées to chilled beverages, the ML180XL ensures your food stays at a safe serving temperature during transit.
This model features Metro’s signature BigBoy™ lid, which offers 63% more interior room than standard lids—making it perfect for tall or oddly shaped items. The lid also functions as a makeshift server in a pinch. A snap-seal design helps lock in internal temperatures and prevents spillage. Generous recessed handles on all four sides allow for comfortable, two-person carrying when fully loaded.
Additional features include a label holder for clear identification or order tracking, stackable design for efficient storage, and a fully recyclable, CFC-free construction that meets today’s sustainability expectations. It’s compatible with several helpful accessories, including a dolly for easier transport, a carrying strap, and a wire caddy for organizing contents. Backed by a 2-year manufacturer’s warranty, the Metro ML180XL is a smart investment for anyone who needs dependable performance, long-lasting durability, and convenience in meal transport.
