Product Information
Full details
The GPC 115L Polyethylene Salt & Grit Bin is designed for facility managers, homeowners, and local businesses looking for a durable, weather-resistant solution for winter grit storage. Its primary benefit is the robust, long-lasting medium-density polyethylene construction that protects contents from moisture and freezing, though its static design means it requires a permanent location to avoid heavy lifting when full.

FAQs
Can this bin hold more than 115 liters?
No, 115 liters is the maximum design capacity and exceeding this may stress the lid hinges.
Is the material resistant to road salt corrosion?
Yes, polyethylene is chemically inert and highly resistant to salt corrosion.
Does the bin come with a lock?
The bin is prepared for a lock, but the hasp, staple, and padlock are typically sold separately.
Can I leave this outside all year?
Yes, the materials are UV-stabilized and weather-resistant, though cleaning it periodically keeps it looking new.
Is the bin heavy when empty?
No, the polyethylene construction makes it lightweight and easy to position before it is filled with heavy grit.
Troubleshooting
Lid does not close flush
Check for debris or accumulated salt buildup in the hinge area and clear it out.
Salt inside is clumping
Ensure the lid is fully closed after each use and verify that the bin is on level ground to maintain a proper seal.
Padlock is frozen shut
Use a silicone-based lubricant on the internal mechanism of the lock before the winter season begins.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your GPC Salt & Grit Bin, simply place it in a location with easy access to high-risk slip areas. It requires no complex assembly; simply ensure the lid hinges are clear of debris to maintain a tight seal. For maintenance, clean the exterior with mild soap and water annually. If you choose to add a lock, use a stainless steel padlock to prevent rust. During the off-season, the bin should be emptied and stored in a clean, dry area to maximize its service life, although it is hardy enough to remain outdoors year-round.
