The Ultimate Universal Cooler Basket: Adaptable Storage for Every Adventure
When it comes to essential cooler accessories, organization is just as important as ice retention. There is nothing worse than reaching for a sandwich only to find it floating in a slurry of melted ice. This Expandable Universal Cooler Basket solves that problem for good, offering a premium, rust-resistant solution that fits nearly every hard cooler on the market—and even select soft coolers.
Why This is the Most Versatile Cooler Basket on the Market
Most dry goods trays are molded to fit one specific cooler model. If you switch coolers, you lose your storage. We engineered a smarter solution. By using a sliding expansion mechanism, this basket adjusts from 8-5/16" x 11-3/4" all the way up to 8-5/16" x 18-1/2".
Whether you are upgrading a vintage steel-belted chest or a modern rotomolded cooler, this basket expands to fit the width perfectly, locking into place to keep your food high, dry, and organized.
No Internal Ledge? No Problem.
One of the biggest frustrations with standard cooler baskets is that they require a specific internal ridge to sit on.
- With Ledges: If your cooler has a basket ledge, this sits securely on top.
- Without Ledges: Thanks to the non-slip rubberized handles and the natural taper of cooler walls, this basket utilizes our patented "friction-fit" technology. You can position it anywhere in the cooler, and the rubber grips will hold it tight against the walls, even if no ledge exists.
Fits YETI Hopper Flip 12 & 18
For the first time, soft cooler owners have a dedicated dry storage option. This basket is engineered to fit perfectly inside the YETI Hopper Flip 12 and YETI Hopper Flip 18. Now you can keep your fruits and snacks crush-free and dry inside your favorite soft cooler bag, making this one of the most unique cooler accessories available today.
Heavy-Duty Stainless Steel Construction
We ditched the cheap plastic found in generic trays. This unit is crafted from premium stainless steel wire that prevents rust and corrosion, even after years of exposure to salt spray, boat decks, and damp campsites. The rubber coating on the handles not only ensures a non-slip grip but also protects the interior liner of your expensive cooler from scratches and scuffs.
Broad Compatibility Guide
This basket is designed to work with full-size hard coolers from almost every major brand. More important than your brand of cooler are its internal dimensions.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this fit my specific cooler?
This basket fits almost any cooler with an internal opening that’s at least 8-5/16” wide and between 11-¾” and 18-½” long. Measure the inside width of your cooler (about an inch down from the top). If it falls within that range, this basket will fit securely and snugly.
How does it stay up without a ledge?
The handles are coated in a high-friction silicon. Because most cooler walls taper slightly (get narrower towards the bottom), you simply push the basket down until the rubber grips wedge tightly against the walls. It stays secure even during transport.
Is this basket dishwasher safe?
To extend the life of the rubberized handles, we recommend hand washing with warm soapy water.
