(3 for 2) Gorilla Tub® Small Shallow 15L – Black

Red Gorilla Gorilla Tub Small Shallow 15L – Black

Black is the Small Shallow that stops looking new immediately and then never looks any worse. Hoof oil, sump oil, mud and yard water all vanish into it, which is why it usually ends up as the tub doing the jobs nobody wants to give a clean one.

The shape is what you are buying: 15 litres held in 16cm of depth across a 39.5cm rim, so a hoof pick, a sponge or a hand reaches the base without diving. It weighs 400g empty and the ribbed, flexible LDPE body takes being trodden on and springs back rather than splitting.

Performance & Benefits

• 15 litres in a low tub 16cm deep, 39.5cm across the rim and 32cm across the base.
• Wide, shallow shape puts the entire base within easy reach — the reason this size gets used for hoof picking.
• Two reinforced golf-ball handles with a textured grip.
• Flexible ribbed body absorbs a knock or a hoof and returns to shape.
• Red Gorilla describe the Small Shallow as UV and frost proof and completely weatherproof.
• Black hides oil, mud and staining that would show permanently on a pale tub.
• Stacks inside another Small Shallow and weighs only 400g empty.

Suitable For

• Hoof picking, grooming kit, and general tool washing.
• Anything staining — hoof dressings, oils, disinfectant, mucky sponges.
• A low dish for larger dogs, poultry or bathing small animals.
• Anyone who wants one tub clearly designated as the dirty-jobs tub.
• Not the tub for carrying water — at 16cm deep it slops. The Gorilla Tub Medium 26L is the better choice for water.

How to Use

• Lift it by both handles when loaded, since a shallow tub tips more easily than a deep one.
• Pinch the rim into a spout to pour; the flexible wall will hold the shape while it empties.
• Rinse and stand it on edge to drain, then stack it inside another for storage.
• Flex the sides to release ice rather than knocking the tub against a wall in a frost.

Specification

Care & Caution

• Red Gorilla state that all Gorilla Tubs are BPA free with the exception of black, green and yellow. This is a black tub, so it falls outside that claim — choose a different colour if you want a BPA-free tub for feed or drinking water.
• The BPA exclusion is separate from the food-grade LDPE status, which Red Gorilla apply to the whole range.
