Technical details

Where This Product Works Best

This 200L grit bin is designed for secure, accessible outdoor storage of road salt and winter grit where it is needed most.

It’s the right fit for:

  • car parks, business premises and warehouse yards
  • schools, construction sites and public-facing locations
  • keeping grit and road salt protected and ready for winter weather
  • sites where the bin needs to be secured against unwanted access or movement

The high-visibility yellow body makes the grit bin easy to locate, while the fitted hasp and staple allows the lid to be secured with a padlock. Four fixing holes in the base also allow the bin to be bolted or anchored to the ground where required.

With a 200 litre capacity, it provides substantial grit and salt storage without taking up unnecessary space.

Handling & Daily Use

Designed to stay outdoors and be ready when winter conditions arrive, the bin combines simple access with practical site security.

For day-to-day use:

  • wide opening provides easy access to stored grit or road salt
  • hinged lid helps protect contents between uses
  • hasp and staple is fitted as standard for use with a customer-supplied padlock
  • four corner fixing holes allow permanent ground anchoring where required
  • 15kg self weight keeps the empty bin manageable when repositioning or preparing a site

Once positioned, the bin is intended to provide a straightforward, permanent storage point for winter gritting materials at commercial and public-facing sites.

Strength, Lifespan & Material Performance

The grit bin is rotationally moulded from VDPE plastic, producing a robust one-piece body suited to repeated outdoor use.

In practice, that means:

  • no metal body to rust or corrode
  • durable moulded construction for exposed commercial environments
  • suitable for year-round indoor or outdoor use
  • operating temperature range of –30°C to +60°C

Rotational moulding creates a seamless plastic body without fabricated panel joints, making it well suited to storing grit and road salt through changing weather conditions.

The bright yellow finish also provides strong visibility around car parks, yards, paths and other areas where winter maintenance equipment needs to be found quickly.

Storage, Delivery & Logistics

This 200L grit bin is designed to make storage and replenishment practical for individual sites and larger winter maintenance programmes.

FAQs

How much grit or salt will this 200L grit bin hold?

The grit bin has a 200 litre internal capacity, providing substantial storage for rock salt, road grit and other de-icing materials.

We quote the capacity in litres rather than kilograms because the weight of the contents will vary depending on the type and moisture content of the material being stored.

Is the grit bin lockable?

Yes. Every grit bin is supplied with a hasp and staple fitted as standard, allowing it to be secured using your own padlock.

This makes it particularly suitable for schools, car parks, warehouses, commercial premises and other shared or publicly accessible locations where you may want to restrict access to stored grit or road salt.

Can the grit bin be fixed to the ground?

Yes. There are four fixing points moulded into the base, allowing the grit bin to be bolted to a suitable surface.

Ground fixing can be particularly useful in exposed locations or where the bin will be permanently positioned in a car park, industrial yard, school or other public-facing area.

Can this grit bin be left outside all year?

Yes. The heavy-duty grit bin is rotationally moulded from durable VDPE plastic and designed for outdoor use across a temperature range of –30°C to +60°C.

Its hinged overlapping lid helps protect the stored grit or salt from rain, dirt and debris, making it suitable for permanent outdoor positioning rather than having to be brought out only when winter weather arrives.

What are the dimensions of the 200L grit bin?

The external dimensions are 880mm long × 600mm wide × 700mm high, with an empty weight of approximately 15kg.

Its 200 litre capacity gives useful road salt storage while maintaining a relatively compact footprint, making it suitable for positioning alongside pathways, entrances, car parks, warehouses and other areas where grit needs to be readily accessible.
