Large 400 litre grit bin designed for high-volume storage of grit or de-icing salt. A reinforced 270° opening lid gives wide access, while the hasp-and-staple arrangement allows the contents to be secured with a suitable padlock
This 400 litre lockable grit bin provides high-capacity storage for grit or de-icing salt where larger quantities need to remain readily available. Its UV-stabilised polyethylene construction, reinforced 270° opening lid and hasp-and-staple locking point combine storage capacity with controlled access.
Where You Can Position
Allow for the full H 710 × W 1260 × D 750 mm dimensions and choose a firm, level position close to the surfaces where substantial quantities of grit or salt are likely to be used. The 1260 mm width makes access planning important: leave enough surrounding space for the reinforced lid to open through its stated 270° movement without obstructing pedestrian routes, vehicle movements or nearby equipment.
What You an Expect After Siting
Once positioned, this 400 litre model provides a substantial central store for winter treatment material, with wide lid access and the option to restrict access when a suitable padlock is fitted. The padlock itself is not supplied.
✅ High-volume storage: the 400 litre capacity reduces reliance on multiple smaller containers where larger quantities of grit or salt are required.
✅ Wide access to contents: the reinforced lid opens through 270°, providing generous access for filling and removing stored material.
✅ Optional controlled access: the hasp-and-staple arrangement allows the bin to be secured when an appropriate padlock is added.
