150L Grit Bin – Reliable Salt and Sand Storage for Winter
The 150L grit bin from Sorfan is a professional-grade solution for storing road salt and sand near driveways, parking lots, and walkways. Made from high-density, UV-stabilized polyethylene, this sand and salt container offers exceptional durability and is completely immune to the corrosive effects of salt. Its 150-litre capacity provides an ample supply of grit for medium-sized areas, ensuring you are prepared for icy conditions without the need for constant refilling.
Our weather-resistant storage bins feature a reinforced design that prevents cracking in sub-zero temperatures. The specially contoured lid is engineered to shed water, keeping your grit dry and preventing it from freezing into clumps. This is essential for efficient winter safety operations, as it ensures that your spreading material remains loose and ready for immediate use whenever freezing weather strikes.

- Long-Lasting Material: Impact-resistant polyethylene that remains strong even in extreme cold.
- UV Protection: The plastic is stabilized to prevent fading and structural weakening from sunlight.
- Space Efficiency: Bins are designed to be stackable when empty, making off-season storage easy.
- Security Features: Integrated padlock points allow you to secure the contents against unauthorized use.
