(3 for 2) Gorilla Tub® Large 38L – Durable Multi-Purpose Plastic Tub Purple

Red Gorilla Gorilla Tub Large 38L – Purple

Purple is the colour most often used to code a particular horse's feed on a yard that runs several. One colour per horse, 38 litres each, and nobody has to read a label at six in the morning. The tub is 33cm deep, 44.5cm across the top and 35cm at the base.

The body is food-grade LDPE, one of the colours Red Gorilla list as BPA free, with ribbed sides and a chamfered rim that lets a scoop sweep the last of the feed out of the corner.

Performance & Benefits

• 38 litres in a tub 33cm deep and 44.5cm across the top — a full haynet soak, a day's water or a barrow-load of feed in one lift.
• The LDPE body flexes. Stand on the rim or drop it off a tailgate and it deforms and springs back where a rigid bucket would split at the seam.
• Because the walls flex, frozen water can be squeezed out in one lump rather than chipped at with a hoof pick.
• Ribbed sides stiffen the walls when it is full, so it carries without folding in the middle.
• Chamfered rim pours cleanly and lets a shovel or a dustpan sweep straight in.
• A strong, distinct colour for coding one horse's feed or one job's kit.

Suitable For

• Yards colour-coding tubs by horse, by feed or by task.
• Soaking hay or beet, mixing feed, and carrying water round a yard.
• Garden, allotment and building work — leaves, prunings, rubble and mixing.
• Anyone who keeps splitting rigid plastic buckets in cold weather.
• Too deep for measuring out a single supplement scoop — the Gorilla Tub Mini Shallow 5L is the right shape for that.

How to Use

• Lift a full tub with both handles. One-handed carrying pulls the flexible wall out of shape and slops the contents.
• To clear ice, turn the tub over and flex the sides until the block drops out whole.
• Rinse with warm water and a mild detergent; the smooth interior has no seam for feed to lodge in.
• Store upside down or nested inside another tub so rain and leaves do not collect.
• Slide rather than drag a loaded tub across concrete — the base scuffs before the walls do.

Specification
