A sealed steel bucket for getting hot oil out of the fryer and across the kitchen without a spill. It takes 30 litres, is rated for oil at 200 °C so you can drain straight after service, and seals with four quick-locking clips on a heat-resistant ring. A filter bag sits in the mouth to catch crumbs on the way in, so the oil can go back into the fryer or off to the collector. Ships assembled with the lid tied to the bucket by a rope.

Nothing to assemble. Wash the inside with hot water and detergent before first use, dry it, and fit the filter bag over the mouth. Keep the lid clipped on whenever there is oil in it.
Draining a fryer should not mean waiting an hour for the oil to cool and then carrying it in an open pot.
This caddy is a steel bucket built for the one job every fryer kitchen does and nobody enjoys. The powder coating inside and out is rated to 200 °C, so the fryer can be drained as soon as the last basket comes up. Four clips press the lid down onto a heat-resistant ring, the base is welded rather than seamed, and the whole thing stays sealed while it is carried out the back.
A filter bag drops into the mouth and catches crumbs and batter as the oil goes in. Oil that has been filtered this way can go back into the fryer for another service, which is where the caddy pays for itself. When it is spent, the same bucket goes to the collection drum.
What this usually leaves the warehouse with.

The lid is held by four quick-locking clips that press it down onto a ring rated for hot oil. Snap them shut and the bucket can be carried through a busy pass, out the back door and up a ramp without a drop finding its way out. The base is welded to the wall of the bucket, which is the seam that fails first on cheaper caddies.

The filter bag stretches over the mouth. Drain the fryer through it and the crumbs, batter and burnt bits stay in the bag while the oil goes into the bucket. Clean oil keeps its flavour for another service or two, and a bag is easier to empty into the bin than a strainer is to scrape.

A fixed side handle and a side-mounted handle mean it can be carried level or tipped to pour. The lid is tied to the bucket by a rope, so it is never left behind on the fryer bench. The coating is the same inside as out, so it does not taint the oil and it wipes clean.
Full of oil it is close to 30 kg, which is a two-handed lift.
Both take the same lid, clips and filter bag design. Pick the 23 litre if the fryer is a single tank and bench space is tight.

Yes. The coating is rated to 200 °C, which is above normal frying temperature, so the fryer can be drained as soon as the baskets are out. Keep the lid off while you pour and clip it down as soon as you are done.
That is the idea. Oil that has been strained through the bag and kept sealed can go back for another service. Judge it by colour and smell rather than by count; once it is dark or smokes early, it goes to the collector.
No. This size is carried, with a fixed side handle and a side-mounted handle. Full, it is close to 30 kg, which is a two-handed lift. If you drain a bank of fryers every night, a wheeled caddy is a better fit.
Tip the solids into the bin, rinse the bag in hot water, and let it dry. Replace it when it starts to tear.
Not if the clips are shut. The ring seal and welded base are there for exactly that trip. Stand it upright and wedge it so it cannot tip; the seal is designed for the lid, not for lying on its side.
