They carry frozen stuff from the maxi-cement works (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

icemen

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'they carry frozen stuff' is the definition.
The definition suggests an adverb but the answer is not.

'from the maxi-cement works' is the wordplay.
'from' indicates a hidden word.
'ICEMEN' can be found hidden inside 'maxi cement works'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for icemen that I've seen before include "They deliver blocks" , "archaeological discoveries?" , "People who deliver frozen water" .)
