A movable bulk storage bin for ice or other friable materials including a head rack base, tail rack base, drive end base, and discharge end base which fasten into pre-punched attachment holes to form a foundation frame. Corner posts mounted on the foundation frame are notched to receive a plurality of wall panels for containment of the material which is deposited via conveying means into the top of the bulk storage bin. Located within the foundation frame and parallel to the rack bases is a discharge conveyor which receives material such as ice from a traversing auger. A rack and pinion gear at each end of the traversing auger, in cooperation with carriages and drive motors, causes the traversing auger to rotate and to travel the length of the bin. The traversing auger is provided with opposite hand helical flighting having cutting teeth disposed thereon. As it travels the length of the bin while simultaneously rotating, the traversing auger undercuts the mass of material stored in the bin and conveys it into the discharge conveyor.
