Salt and grit (sand) bins

Salt and grit bins made of plastic (LDPE/HDPE) are used to store sand, salt, a salt-and-sand mix and sorbents for winter road maintenance. Fitted with a lid they protect the contents from moisture and caking and are resistant to salt corrosion, UV and frost, so they suit year-round outdoor use.

How to choose a salt and grit bin?

Three parameters matter: the capacity (approximately from about 100 to several hundred litres), the equipment (lid, optional scoop, lockable option) and the location. Bins are placed at bus and tram stops, stations, car parks and pavements, and a range of colours lets you match the surroundings or mark the contents.

Features and applications

Feature Description
Material LDPE/HDPE — resistant to salt, UV and frost
Lid protects against moisture and caking
Capacity approximately from about 100 to several hundred litres
Colours various — to match the surroundings
Application winter road maintenance, stops, car parks, pavements

Containers for road salt 

The containers are manufactured using rotomoulding technology. The salt containers are durable and resistant to UV radiation. This is thanks to polyethylene. The sand containers owe their high resistance to low and high temperatures to this material. The road salt containers are easy to use. Sand and salt containers are very light and can be easily transported with a forklift. Empty salt containers can be stacked on top of each other, folding the sand containers into a small space and reused as required. Thanks to its design, the salt container can be located virtually anywhere. The sand bins come in three colours: blue, green and yellow.  

Top quality salt and sand containers

Thanks to the raw material used, the road salt container perfectly withstands adverse weather conditions such as snow, rain and extremely low temperatures. The use of polyethylene guarantees a long service life. In addition, the sand and salt containers have high mechanical and chemical resistance. Salt containers work well for other bulk substances and sorbents. Tools can also be stored in road salt containers. Due to their wide range of applications, sand containers can be useful for communities, businesses and private users. Road salt bins can be placed outdoors - in parks, streets and petrol stations - and indoors - production halls and the wider construction and industrial sector. The products we offer have the appropriate certificates and approvals. Thanks to high-quality materials, they retain their aesthetic appearance for a long time and do not corrode.  

Appropriate storage

In our climatic zone, winter can take us by surprise. Sometimes the temperature outside is very low and pavements and roadways are slippery. This is when a mixture of salt and sand comes to the rescue. In order for this mixture to retain its properties and to be usable at all, it must be stored properly. Salt containers are the best solution. In the past, the salt and sand mixture was stored in wooden boxes, where moisture would get in. Then the mixture would lose its properties and turn into a stony lump. Wood was replaced by plastics, which do not absorb moisture. In addition, it should be added that plastics are resistant to chemicals, so the sand containers are not damaged by contact with it. Salt has corrosive properties, so the containers in which it is stored must be of high quality and have walls of sufficient thickness. Typically, the way in which bulk containers are used makes them vulnerable to damage. Therefore, they should be made of robust yet lightweight materials. Only then will they fulfil their purpose. It is also important that children's pets do not come into contact with the mix. It should therefore be ensured that the salt and sand mixture is properly protected and sealed even outside the winter season.  

Robust and sealed construction of sand and salt containers

PALETEO offers salt containers of various capacities and in three colours. They are equipped with a convenient flap. This flap is designed in such a way that water does not settle on it and sliding snow off it is not a problem. The salt and sand bins offered by our online shop can be cleaned with water and cleaning agents without any worries. The perfectly smooth inner and outer walls can also be washed with water from a garden hose without fear of deforming the surface. Sand bins are very easy to use products. They are easy to transport, lightweight and do not pose any problems in terms of proper storage. It is worth adding that salt containers, when empty, can be stored by stacking one on top of the other without fear of the bottom and top layer of these products becoming irreversibly deformed, which would adversely affect their aesthetic and functional qualities. 

Why is polyethylene a good raw material for road salt containers?

Polyethylene, from which the containers in our offer are manufactured, is characterised by a long lifespan, inertness to atmospheric factors and high chemical resistance. Thanks to the fact that the sand containers are made entirely of polyethylene (with no metal parts), there is no possibility of corrosion developing. Last but not least, polyethylene is a fully recyclable raw material. 
 
Features of the sand and salt containers we offer
The first very important feature is their airtightness and resistance to the effects of weather and chemicals. In addition to being resistant to high and low temperatures, the material of the containers is also resistant to pressure and bending. The design of the sand and salt bins ensures convenience of use - the
