Grit Bins

What are Grit Bins?

Grit bins are storage containers designed for storing de-icing salts and grit, keeping them protected from the weather. Manufactured specifically for use outside, these bins come in a variety of sizes suitable for all kinds of workplaces, schools and other public buildings.

A grit bin is typically located at a high-traffic area, so adjacent to a business car park, front door or walkway for example. The bins are made from a heavy-duty all-weather plastic and so can be left in place for many years without any loss of shape or colour. Bins are loaded with salt or grit which is ready to be distributed when frost, ice or snow sets in.

What are the benefits of using Grit Bins?

Keeping salt and grit on-site can mean that a business or school can remain open and uninterrupted even during the harsher of winter months.  Additionally, ensuring that walkways and roads or carparks are kept clear of ice and snow is an excellent way of minimising the risks of slips, falls and traffic collisions.
