Gritting mix – right where it is slippery

In winter, black ice appears suddenly, and bags of sand and salt stored in the open get damp and harden. An enclosed grit bin with a lid keeps the mix dry and ready to use as soon as it gets slippery.

Advantages

  • The mix does not harden – the lid protects it from rain and snow.
  • Durable material – plastic does not rust and withstands frost and moisture.
  • Tidiness – one neat container by the entrance instead of bags.

Where to place them

Near stairs, entrances, slopes, and driveways into courtyards or car parks. On large sites, it is worth having several bins in different locations.

What can be stored in a grit bin?

The bin is intended for gritting material – sand, salt and mixtures of the two. It is placed near slippery spots so that the material is to hand as soon as it gets slippery. This way, instead of scattered bags, there is one tidy container by the entrance.

Where is the best place for a grit bin?

Place it where it gets slippery most often in winter: near stairs, entrances, slopes, and driveways into courtyards or car parks. It suits apartment blocks, schools, kindergartens, company loading ramps and private homes. On large sites, it is worth having several bins in different locations.

Will the mix in the bin freeze or harden?

The tight-fitting lid protects the contents from rain and snow, so the sand stays dry and loose. A salt and sand mix freezes less than pure sand. It is important to fill the bin with dry material.

Does the grit bin have a lock?

No, this bin has no lock and cannot be locked. The tight-fitting lid protects the contents from rain and snow, and the gritting material always remains easily accessible to those who need it.

What material is the bin made of?

The bin is made of polyethylene – a plastic that does not rust and withstands frost, moisture and sunlight. It does not need painting, and rinsing with water is enough to remove dirt. This means the bin can stay outdoors all year round.

How should I prepare for the winter season?

Top up your stock of sand and salt in autumn, while the material is dry. Keep a scoop for gritting next to the bin so you do not have to look for one.
