Grit bins and salt are vital components of any comprehensive winter service plan. They offer a practical and cost-effective solution for combating snow and ice, reducing the risk of accidents, and keeping facilities accessible
Salt is a crucial element in combating winter weather hazards. It helps to melt snow and ice, creating improved traction and reducing the risk of slips and falls. Grit can also be supplied, which works in a slightly different way, as can other high-quality products that are specifically formulated for effective ice melting on specific materials such as metal stairs and concrete. Our salt is carefully sourced to ensure optimal performance, helping facility managers create safer environments during winter weather
When the cold weather arrives it is important that sites have their own grit bins from which to perform emergency grit spreading on frozen paths, should the need arise. The last thing businesses want is to get caught out if the weather unexpectedly changes. Our grit bins are specifically designed to store salt on our customers’ sites. OUTCO provides two grit bin services, either purchase or managed:

OUTCO can supply customers with their own grit bins, shovels and other gritting accessories, and replace and maintain these throughout the season. We will also supply clients with a grit bin’s worth of salt. To place an order for a top-up of salt, simply contact us as and when you need to.
Managed OUTCO Grit Bins

We will supply clients with all required grit bins, shovels and other gritting accessories, and replace and maintain these throughout the season. We will also remove the grit bin for customers at the end of the season. As part of our fully managed grit bin service, OUTCO will also keep grit bins topped up so that they never run out of gritting salt during the season.

News
Today’s outdoor estate is rapidly changing with data & technology, learn how winter gritting has been transformed for businesses. With the space of smartphones, consumers demand for convenience & easy access. Discover the impact the “consumerisation of IT” has on winter gritting
A trend towards accessing any service with greater convenience and immediacy on any device has proliferated in recent years. Here, Jason Petsch, CEO of OUTCO, explains how consumer-style technology is changing winter gritting in the UK.
The summer of 2022 will be remembered as being a hot and dry one, in which temperatures in the UK reached a record-breaking 40.3C at the peak of the heatwave. These hot temperatures are becoming more common and often trick us into presuming that the winter will be mild, without any need for winter gritting services. Not true.
We are absolutely thrilled that our market leading service and telematics app, ‘Pulse’ has been shortlisted for ‘App of the Year 2023’ in this year’s UK Business Tech Awards
The end of DST, which occurs on the last Sunday in October, is traditionally seen as the start of the gritting season in the UK. This is because the clocks go back one hour, which means that there is less daylight during the evening and morning commute, which in turn makes the temperature lower, the roads more slippery and increases the risk of accidents
OUTCO is delighted to be shortlisted as the Property Tech Company of the year 2023. Great recognition for our Tech Team and especially for our unique in-house technology NIMBUS to be validated at this level. Great recognition for our Tech Team and especially for our unique in-house technology.
