(3 for 2) Gorilla Tub® Mini Shallow 5L – Red

Red Gorilla Gorilla Tub Mini Shallow 5L – Red

The 5 litre Mini Shallow in red is the small end of the range everyone recognises: 28.5cm across, 10.5cm deep, 100g empty, and flexible enough to squeeze into a spout when you tip a mix into a feed bucket.

It is the most commonly stocked of the small tubs, which makes it easy to buy a matched set. Food-grade LDPE, ribbed sides, chamfered edges, and one of the colours Red Gorilla list as BPA free.

Performance & Benefits

• 5 litres in a dish 28.5cm across and only 10.5cm deep, so your hand reaches the base without tipping it.
• The wide, flat bottom means a scoop or a stirrer meets a floor rather than a curve — nothing hides in a corner.
• Flexible LDPE walls squeeze into a spout for pouring a mixed feed into a bucket.
• At 0.1kg empty it can be carried, tipped and rinsed one-handed.
• Chamfered edges sweep clean and let you tap the last of a powder out.
• The standard colour, so replacements and matching sets are easy to find.

Suitable For

• Everyday mixing, decanting and small feeds around the yard and house.
• Measuring, mixing and decanting supplements, powders and balancers.
• A tidy for hoof picks, brushes, bandage clips or stud kit.
• Small-animal, poultry and dog feeding, and a travel water dish.
• Far too small for a horse's water or a soaked haynet — the Gorilla Tub Large 38L or the Extra Large 75L are the sizes for that.

How to Use

• Squeeze the rim between finger and thumb to make a pouring lip when decanting.
• Rinse in warm water with a mild detergent and stand it upside down to drain.
• Nest several together on a shelf — they stack flat and take up very little room.
• Wipe dry before storing powders or supplements in it.

Specification

• Capacity 5 litres. Height 10.5cm, 28.5cm across the top, 23.5cm across the base. Weight 0.1kg.
• This is the shallow shape, not a scaled-down bucket — it is nearly three times as wide as it is deep.
• Food-grade LDPE (low-density polyethylene), which Red Gorilla describe as horse and pet friendly and suitable for storing and preparing food.
• BPA free. Red Gorilla state that every Gorilla Tub is BPA free except the black, green and yellow ones.
• Red Gorilla product code SP5R.
• Ribbed sides, chamfered edges and small reinforced golf-ball handles.
• The smallest tub Red Gorilla make. The range then steps up to the Large 38L and the Extra Large 75L.
• 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.
