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

Red Gorilla Gorilla Tub Mini Shallow 5L – Sky Blue

Sky blue is the lightest blue in the Gorilla Tub range and on the 5 litre Mini Shallow it gives you a pale background to work against — useful when you are checking a dark powder has actually mixed through. The dish is 28.5cm across and 10.5cm deep.

The shallow shape means the whole base is within reach, and at 0.1kg it can be lifted, tipped and rinsed with one hand. Red Gorilla list sky blue among the BPA-free colours.

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.
• A pale interior makes it easy to see how well a dark supplement has mixed in.

Suitable For

• Mixing dark powders and pastes where you need to see the blend.
• 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 SP5SK.BL.
• 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.
