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

Red Gorilla Gorilla Tub Large 38L – Yellow

Yellow shows up in poor light better than almost anything else, which is why the 38 litre yellow tub tends to live wherever people are working at dusk — the muck heap, the hard standing, the back of a lorry. It holds 38 litres in a body 33cm deep and 44.5cm across the top.

Yellow is one of three Gorilla Tub colours Red Gorilla exclude from their BPA-free claim, with black and green. The LDPE is still food grade, so this is a perfectly good general tub; for a dedicated feed or water tub, choose a BPA-free colour.

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.
• Bright enough to be seen at dusk, on a lorry ramp or against a muck heap.

Suitable For

• Muck, rubble, tools and washing down where visibility matters more than BPA status.
• 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.
• Not the one if you specifically want BPA-free plastic for feed or water; the same 38L tub in red, blue, sky blue, orange, pink, purple or pistachio is BPA free.

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

• Capacity 38 litres. Height 33cm, 44.5cm across the top, 35cm across the base.
• Food-grade LDPE (low-density polyethylene). Red Gorilla describe the material as horse and pet friendly and suitable for storing and preparing food.
• Not BPA free. Red Gorilla state that every Gorilla Tub is BPA free except black, green and yellow, and this is one of the three.
• Red Gorilla product code SP42Y.
• Ribbed sides, a chamfered rim for scooping and pouring, and two reinforced golf-ball handles.
• This is the deep Large tub. Red Gorilla also make a Large Shallow at 35 litres, an Extra Large at 75 litres and a Mini Shallow at 5 litres.
• Red Gorilla describe the tub as flexible and weather resistant. Frost- and UV-resistance claims appear on some retail listings, including our own earlier copy; Red Gorilla publish neither, and publish no tub weight or load rating, so none is stated here.
