Description
400 Litre Heavy Duty Lockable Grit Bin for high-capacity salt storage for commercial premises
The 400 litre heavy duty lockable grit bin provides the largest storage capacity among these Excelsior models in the Bawcro range. It suits sites planning a substantial on-site salt reserve rather than relying on a small treatment kit. A hasp-and-staple fitting is supplied as standard, ready for a suitable padlock.
Features and colour options
- Hinged lid and standard hasp-and-staple fitting.
- GRIT marking on the bin.
- Available in Yellow, Recycled Black, or a Recycled Black Body with a Yellow Lid.

Where to position your grit bin
Consider it for a larger commercial site, an industrial estate treatment point, a substantial car park or managed grounds with several access routes. The right position should work for both the staff using the salt and the people arranging deliveries or refills.
Keep access to the bin clear and place it on a suitable, stable surface. Think about the route staff will take to collect salt, particularly when the surrounding area may already be slippery. Plan the position before the bin is filled.
Choosing the right capacity
Choose a high-capacity bin as part of a planned winter arrangement. Check the full external dimensions, allow room around the lid, and plan the final position before filling. Capacity alone does not determine how much salt your site will use during a cold period.
For a smaller lockable model, compare the 200 litre heavy duty bin. The 350 litre stackable bin is another option where its footprint suits the intended position.
Salt supply, filling and refills
Order 25kg bags of white rock salt and a rock salt hand scoop separately to use with your bin.
Salt is separate unless a filled-bin arrangement has been agreed with your order. Bawcro can discuss suitable salt supplies and filling requirements for your site.
Bawcro can help with grit bin refills, grit bin maintenance and wider winter maintenance planning. For commercial premises, an on-site salt point can support a wider treatment plan alongside scheduled gritting visits.
