400L Grit Bin – Heavy-Duty Salt and Sand Storage Container
A professional 400L grit bin is a critical asset for locations requiring large-scale salt and sand supplies. At Sorfan, we offer high-capacity salt bin 400 litres containers made from high-density polyethylene (HDPE). These bins are 100% resistant to salt corrosion, acids, and sub-zero temperatures. Due to its large capacity, this model is perfect for main roads, logistics hubs, and industrial sites where reliability and reduced refill frequency are essential.
Our heavy-duty storage grit bins feature a reinforced base and a tight-fitting, contoured lid that prevents moisture and snow from entering. This is a key component for effective winter maintenance, ensuring quick access to dry spreading materials. The robust construction ensures the sand and salt container does not deform under heavy loads, while the vibrant colors guarantee visibility even in heavy snow conditions.
Key Benefits of the 400L Grit Bin:
- Large Capacity: Holds approximately 500-600 kg of sand/salt mixture.
- HDPE Durability: Impact-resistant material designed for harsh outdoor use.
- Logistics Ready: Built-in channels for forklift transport (selected models).
- Security Feature: Padlock points to protect contents from unauthorized use.
Expert Opinion – 400L Grit Bins
At Sorfan, we highly recommend the 400-litre grit bin for sites where winter logistics need to be minimized. A larger bin means fewer refill trips, which generates real savings in time and fuel. I particularly suggest this model for large production plants and near high-traffic roads. By choosing this size, you can be sure that materials won't run out during the most critical snowfall periods.

How much salt does a 400-litre bin hold?
A typical 400L bin can store between 500 and 600 kg of salt or sand, depending on the moisture and bulk density of the material.
Can the 400L bin be moved with a forklift?
Yes, most of our 400L models are designed with integrated fork pockets at the base, allowing for safe movement when full.
What colors are available for the grit bins?
We typically stock yellow, green, and blue. Yellow is the most popular for high visibility on road networks.
