Techstar presents its SOS bins as the toughest salt and sand storage bins on the market. Rotomoulded from linear low-density polyethylene, they resist impact and the harshest weather conditions. Their double-walled lid adds durability and keeps the contents dry and protected. A hasp moulded into the bin lets you lock it with a padlock, so no one uses the salt or sand without authorization. Waterproof and lockable, the bin also suits many other outdoor storage uses.
