A grit bin, salt bin, or sand bin is a type of street furniture typically located in regions with cold weather and snowfall. It holds a mixture of salt and grit that is thrown over roadways with snow or ice on them.
Spreading rock salt over roads and pathways by hand improves road safety in icy weather. The salt aids in lowering the freezing point of the ice, which can be effective in temperatures as low as -9°C. Roads not grated throughout the winter are far more dangerous for cars and pedestrians.
We have a wide selection of grit bins and winter maintenance products, including rock salt, recycled grit bins, lockable grit bins, shovels, and grit bin winter packs, which include everything you need in one convenient package delivered right to you.
