Transfers and Servicing [Abstract]
Accounts Receivable Securitization	4. Accounts Receivable Securitization Prior to the Spin-Off, the Company sold accounts receivable through an accounts receivable securitization facility, ("the Prior Securitization Program"), comprised of two funding entities: Manitowoc Funding, LLC ("U.S. Seller") and Manitowoc Cayman Islands Funding Ltd. ("Cayman Seller"). The U.S. Seller historically serviced domestic entities of both the Foodservice and Crane segments of MTW and remitted all funds received directly to MTW. The Cayman Seller historically serviced solely Welbilt foreign entities and remitted all funds to Welbilt entities. The U.S. Seller remained with MTW subsequent to the Spin-Off, while the Cayman Seller was transferred to Welbilt subsequent to the Spin-Off. A portion of the U.S. Seller's historical expenses related to bond administration fees and settlement fees were allocated to the Company. As the Cayman Seller is directly attributable to Welbilt, the assets, liabilities, income and expenses of the Cayman Seller are included in the Company's consolidated balance sheets and statements of operations. The Company's cost of funds under the facility used a London interbank offered rate ("LIBOR") index rate plus a 1.25% fixed spread. The Company participates in a $110.0 million accounts receivable securitization program whereby the Company sells certain of its domestic trade accounts receivable and certain of its non-U.S. trade accounts receivable to a wholly-owned, bankruptcy-remote, foreign special purpose entity, which in turn, sells, conveys, transfers and assigns to a third-party financial institution (the "Purchaser"), all the rights, title and interest in and to its pool of receivables. This program is currently expected to terminate in March 2019. Upon termination, we expect the securitization will be repaid by receipts of previously sold trade receivables, to the extent borrowings are outstanding at termination. Under this program, the Company generally receives cash consideration up to a certain limit and records a non-cash exchange for sold receivables for the remainder of the purchase price ("deferred purchase price"). The sale of these receivables qualifies for sale accounting treatment. The Company maintains a "beneficial interest," or right to collect cash, in the sold receivables. Cash receipts from the Purchaser at the time of the sale are classified as operating cash while cash receipts from the beneficial interest on sold receivables are classified as investing activities on the consolidated statements of cash flows. The Company along with certain of its subsidiaries act as servicers of the sold receivables. The servicers administer, collect and otherwise enforce these receivables and are compensated for doing so on terms that are generally consistent with what would be charged by an unrelated servicer. The servicers initially receive payments made by obligors on the receivables but are required to remit those payments in accordance with the receivables purchase agreement. Upon termination of the program, the Purchaser will have no recourse for uncollectible receivables. The securitization program also contains customary affirmative and negative covenants. Among other restrictions, these covenants require the Company to meet specified financial tests, which include a Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio and a Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio that are the same as the covenant ratios required under the 2016 Credit Agreement. The accounts receivable securitization program was amended on February 2, 2018 and again on October 23, 2018 in conjunction with amendments to the 2016 Credit Agreement to provide for certain conforming changes including amending the Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio required thereunder. See Note 10, "Debt," for additional details of the 2016 Credit Agreement and related amendments. Due to a short average collection cycle of less than 60 days for such accounts receivable as well as the Company's collection history, the fair value of its beneficial interest in the sold receivables approximates book value and as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, totaled $56.9 million and $62.9 million respectively, and is recorded in "Accounts receivable, less allowance" in the consolidated balance sheets. The Company deems the interest rate risk related to this beneficial interest to be de minimis, primarily due to the short average collection cycle of the related receivables. The carrying value of trade accounts receivables removed from the Company's consolidated balance sheets in connection with the accounts receivable securitization program was $96.9 million and $99.5 million at December 31, 2018, and 2017, respectively.
