Grit Bin
- Large 400 litre capacity
- Stackable and transportable
- Can be made in any colour
Our 400 litre grit bin is built to resist
whatever the elements throw at it. Due to
its sloping lid it collects less rainwater or
litter. It is incredibly sturdy due to box
sections around the lid, meaning it closes
perfectly without distortion and will not
topple over. It can be moved easily using
the forklift runners.
Stackable Clever Design
Stable stacking, up to four units high. Our aim was to create the best possible grit
bin - here are its unique features:
The lid’s moulded hasp makes
it quick to secure with a padlock
and resistant to corrosion.
A robust hinge for long
service life.
Sloping lid collects less water,
leaves or litter.
Forklift runners for ease of
transport.
Space for your logo or brand.
