Charles Bentley 200 Litre Yellow Grit Bin with Snow Shovel

This Charles Bentley grit bin is a straightforward, practical solution for storing salt and grit at commercial and hospitality premises. The bright yellow colouring makes it easily identifiable, and the 200 litre capacity means there is enough storage for a meaningful supply of de-icing material — sufficient to service car parks, delivery areas, and pedestrian walkways throughout an extended cold spell without constant refilling.

In practice, having a properly stocked grit bin close to main entrances and high-footfall external areas is one of the more effective ways to reduce the risk of slip-and-fall incidents during icy conditions. The bin is supplied with a snow shovel, which makes it straightforward for staff to apply grit quickly during or after a frost without needing to source separate tools.

The construction is heavy-duty plastic, which holds up well outdoors over repeated winter seasons. It resists cracking under cold temperatures and does not corrode — a practical advantage over metal alternatives in exposed positions.

• Large capacity reduces how often the bin needs refilling during prolonged cold weather
• Supplied snow shovel means staff can act immediately without hunting for equipment
• Bright yellow colouring helps staff locate the bin quickly in poor conditions
• Durable plastic construction suitable for permanent outdoor placement
• Lidded design keeps contents dry and prevents salt clumping

This bin is well suited to pubs, restaurants, hotels, care homes, and other commercial premises where managing external pedestrian safety is a routine winter responsibility. For larger sites with multiple access points — such as distribution yards or large retail premises — it is worth considering whether more than one unit, or a higher-capacity option, would better cover the area.
