De-Icing Salt

Our de-icing salt provides fast, effective ice control for car parks, walkways, access roads, and public areas.

Available in white and brown grades, it’s ideal for both commercial and industrial sites requiring reliable winter safety solutions.
 Packaged in bulk bags and pallets, our salt ensures quick application and consistent coverage for maximum efficiency.

Our grit bins offer secure, weather-resistant storage for de-icing salt and grit. Manufactured from tough, UV-stabilised polyethylene, they provide durability against frost and corrosion.

With capacities from 200L to 600L, these bins are suitable for private car parks, retail sites, and local authority use.

Salt Spreaders

Our manual and towable salt spreaders simplify grit distribution, improving coverage and reducing labour time.

Built for performance in demanding winter conditions, they feature corrosion-resistant frames and adjustable flow control for precise application.

Snow Clearing Tools

From heavy-duty snow shovels to robust pushers and scrapers, our snow removal tools help maintain clear, safe walkways and access routes.

Each product is designed for ergonomic use, durability, and effective snow management, even in severe weather.

Why Winter Safety Equipment Matters

Icy surfaces and frozen pathways can create serious safety risks during winter. Using effective winter maintenance and safety equipment is essential for keeping sites safe, compliant, and fully operational. 

By ensuring de-icing salt and grit are easily accessible, you can respond quickly to changing weather conditions, reduce the risk of slips and falls, and maintain smooth operations throughout the season. 

Investing in the right winter maintenance solutions also demonstrates your organisation’s commitment to Health & Safety compliance and your duty of care towards staff, visitors, and the public.

FAQs About Winter Maintenance & Safety Equipment

What types of winter maintenance equipment do you supply?

We supply a complete range of winter safety equipment for maintenance use, including grit bins, white and brown de-icing salt, salt spreaders, and snow clearing tools. Each product is designed for durability, ease of use, and reliable performance in UK winter conditions.

Which de-icing salt should I choose – white or brown?

Both are effective at melting ice and preventing refreezing. White salt is cleaner and ideal for entrances or public areas where appearance matters, while brown rock salt is more cost-effective and suitable for large outdoor spaces like car parks and roadways.

How do I choose the right grit bin size?

Consider the size of the area you need to treat and how frequently you expect to reapply salt. Smaller bins are ideal for entrances or walkways, while larger capacity bins are suitable for car parks, industrial sites, and council use.

Do you supply salt spreaders and snow clearing tools?

Yes. We stock a range of manual and wheeled salt spreaders for quick, even coverage, as well as snow shovels and scrapers designed to clear large areas efficiently and safely.

Can I buy winter maintenance products in bulk?

Yes. We offer bulk purchase options for grit bins, de-icing salt, and spreaders, providing cost-effective solutions for councils, schools, retail sites, and industrial premises.

How should I store de-icing salt and equipment?

Keep de-icing salt in a dry, covered grit bin to prevent clumping and maintain effectiveness. Salt spreaders and shovels should be stored in a clean, sheltered space and checked regularly to ensure they’re ready for use.

Do your products meet UK safety standards?

All Recontainers Direct winter products are specified to support compliance with relevant UK guidance and industry best practice. Always check your risk assessment and local authority requirements before use.
