Frequently asked questions (FAQS) about Grit Storage | Grit Bins & Boxes

What are grit bins used for?

Grit bins provide convenient, on-site storage for salt or grit, allowing quick and easy access during winter months. They are commonly placed near car parks, walkways and building entrances.

Are your grit bins weather-resistant?

Yes, our grit bins are made from durable, UV-stabilised plastic that prevents cracking or fading. The lids are designed to keep contents dry and secure in all conditions.

Do you offer bins in different sizes?

We stock grit bins in a variety of sizes to suit both small and large sites. Whether you need a compact bin for a small business or a high-capacity option for a school or industrial site, we have solutions available.

Can the bins be secured to prevent theft or tampering?

Many models include lockable lids or optional fixings for added security, helping to prevent misuse and protect your winter maintenance supplies.

Our bins and boxes are available in a variety of sizes from 65L to 500L. The collection includes compact domestic grit bins, stackable models and high-visibility yellow options for public areas. For full winter coverage, explore our wider selection of winter products for snow tools and site preparation.

Find the right size and storage features for your site

From private driveways and school paths to council-maintained car parks, the right grit bin makes all the difference. Our range includes compact 65-litre grit boxes for smaller sites and larger 500-litre bins for areas requiring bulk storage. For flexibility across multiple locations, choose stackable bins that save space when not in use.

Durable plastic grit bins and boxes designed for harsh weather

All bins in the AJ Products UK range are made from heavy-duty plastic such as medium-duty polyethylene, which resists cracking and corrosion in extreme weather. Many designs include forklift-truck grooves so they can be easily moved into position before the season begins. Lids are fitted with double-laminate construction and an air gap, which helps reduce condensation and prevents freezing of the contents. Yellow grit bins come with padlock-ready lids for security in public spaces, while black and grey models provide a more discreet alternative for commercial properties or landscaped grounds.

Stackable and space-saving salt bins for seasonal storage

When winter ends, storage matters just as much as access. Many of our plastic grit bins are designed to stack - making it easy to store them away neatly when not in use. This feature is especially useful for facilities teams and councils managing multiple locations. And whether you’re managing a single site or a network of locations, our grit bins are designed with wide openings for easy filling and access, even while wearing gloves. Pair your storage bin with manual snow tools to tackle snow build-up, or explore our full snow removal equipment range for towable spreaders and ploughs that can handle large areas quickly.
