Salt and Grit Bins

Salt Bins and Grit Bins - Winter Maintenance Essentials

The effective storage of Salt, Grit, and Sand are an essential part of winter maintenance and it is also important to think about the effecient location of the grit bins near to each area where they will be most effective.

Salt and Grit Bins can also be used throughout the year for storing other loose materials such as fertiliser, dry sand, seed, and mulch. They may also be used to store garden tools or outdoor toys.

Here are some of the features to consider to help you when choosing a Salt Bin or Grit Bin:-

Salt/ Grit Bin Storage Capacity

Make sure your you choose a salt and grit bin large enough to de-ice (reactive maintenance) or anti-ice (proactive/preventative maintenance) the whole area in one application. You don't want to constantly having to re-fill the bin each day, especially when bad weather will hamper any refilling activity. Our grit bins start with the mini grit bin which has a 30 litre capacity, perfect for home, small applications right up to grit bins that have a massive 1000 litre capacity for large commercial / industrial / local authority applications.

Stackable Grit and Salt Bins, easy  to store, easy to deploy

Being able to efficiently store the salt / grit bins throughout the seasons they not being used or withdrawing/moving them to central re-filling area may be an important consideration. The efficient and effective handing of the bins must be a consideration when larger numbers are being maintained. If this is a requirement choose stackable grit bins with fork lift channels.

Hardwearing and Looking Good

Salt and Grit Bins need to be hardwearing to stand up to all forms of weather and wear and tear from metal shovels, spades, trowels or scoops extracting the salt, grit, or sand or salt. Make sure you purchase a grit bin that is going to last several winters, will handle the wear and tear and will still look good. Varying colour options are available for certain models within our Salt and Grit bin range.

Lockable Salt and Grit bins

Whether it is for health and safety reasons, the salt and grit bins at your nursery or school, stopping un-controlled use/waste, prevent people playing with the materials or to prevent theft, being able to lock the grit bins could be an important feature for you. If you are using the bins to store garden tools or anything else valuable then having a lockable bin is an important consideration.

On body printing options on salt and grit bins

It is possible to have bespoke printing on the lid of each grit/salt bin, this could be the name of your council or local authority, the department to which the bin belongs to or the area it should be located at. It may be a number to call if needs re-filled or it could be some advertising if your salt or grit bin sits outside your shop or place of work.
