Product Information
Full details
This 200-litre salt and grit bin is an essential winter safety solution for property managers, business owners, and local councils looking to store de-icing materials securely. Its primary benefit is providing a weather-resistant, highly visible storage unit that ensures grit is always ready for immediate application on paths, car parks, and roadsides; however, users should note that the large 200-litre footprint requires significant dedicated space for placement.

FAQs
Can this bin be kept outside all year?
Yes, the bin is made of durable, corrosion-resistant materials designed to withstand year-round outdoor weather.
Does the bin come with a lock included?
The bin is designed to be lockable, but you should verify if your specific purchase includes a padlock as these are often provided separately.
How much salt can it hold?
It is designed to hold up to 200 litres of salt or grit, which varies in weight depending on the density of the de-icing material used.
Is the material UV resistant?
Yes, the plastic is engineered to resist fading and structural degradation caused by long-term exposure to sunlight.
Can the bin be bolted to the ground?
While the design is sturdy, you should check for pre-molded mounting points if you intend to anchor the unit permanently to prevent movement.
Troubleshooting
Lid feels stuck or hard to open
Check the hinge area for accumulated ice or debris and clear it away using a brush or warm water.
Lock is frozen shut
Apply a small amount of de-icer or lock lubricant into the keyway to thaw the inner mechanism.
Contents appear damp
Ensure the lid is fully closed and sealed. Check for any debris caught between the lid and base preventing a proper seal.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your bin, identify a flat and stable area that is easily accessible during a weather emergency. If the unit is intended for a public location, ensure that the chosen site does not obstruct pedestrian or vehicle traffic paths. While the bin is rust-resistant, it is recommended to occasionally clear heavy, packed snow from the lid hinge to maintain smooth operation. During the off-season, ensure the bin is emptied and rinsed to remove salt residue, which can build up over time. If you choose to use a padlock for the locking mechanism, ensure it is a weather-rated model suitable for outdoor use to avoid freezing or rust within the lock cylinder.
