True Grit – Shelterstore meets demand for Winter Products

Dec. 8, 2010 - PRLog -- The extreme early winter temperatures have led to a significant increase in demand for grit bins and rock salt across the country, reports Shelterstore.co.uk, one of the UK’s most comprehensive and lowest cost street furniture portals.

The company has sold in excess of 500 grit bins in just three weeks to corporates, facilities management companies and local authorities across the UK, from as far afield as London to the Shetland Islands. The company sold more than 70 grit bins alone to one building maintenance company in the West Midlands, as well as meeting demand for more than 100 tonnes or rock salt.

“Clearly the scale and extent of the freezing weather has been causing problems around the UK,”” explains Shelterstore MD David Schulhof.  “This means we have been called upon to bolster existing stocks of grit bins and salt as companies and authorities do whatever they can to counter the freeze and keep roads and pavements safe.””

In addition to heavy duty moulded polyethylene grit bins up to 400 litres in capacity, which are ideal for council uses in large car parks and pathways, Shelterstore also offers tailgate-mounted rock salt spreaders which can be fitted to vehicles to spread rock salt, or magic ice melt in one pass on driveways or access roads and is ideal for residential or light commercial applications.

Shelterstore.co.uk is a complete online street furniture store providing highly competitively priced products as part of a turnkey service including installation. In addition, the company provides a repair, replacement and removal service for existing street furniture and can also relocate existing street furniture or dispose and recycle existing items. It even offers maintenance and cleaning services on either an ad hoc or contract basis.
