Gorilla Tub Medium Purple 26L

Gorilla Tub Medium 26L – Purple

The reason to pay for a Gorilla Tub over a rigid builder's bucket shows up at this size. Twenty-six litres is a tub that gets left in gateways, kicked, driven over and stood on, and the LDPE body simply deforms and comes back where a rigid tub would split along the base and be scrap.

Purple is a strong, dark colour that hides yard dirt while still being distinctive enough to mark as yours. On a shared yard the Medium is the size that wanders, so a colour nobody else has is worth choosing deliberately.

Performance & Benefits

• Holds 26 litres in a body 30cm deep, 38.5cm across the top and 28cm across the base.
• LDPE body deforms under a hoof, a boot or a wheel and returns to shape rather than splitting.
• Ribbed sides, which hold the round shape while the wall stays flexible.
• Chamfered edge, which Red Gorilla say makes scooping, sweeping and pouring easier.
• Food-grade LDPE, so the same tub can carry feed, water, muck or mortar on different days.
• Dark colour that does not show yard dirt.

Suitable For

• Mucking out and carrying bedding.
• Building and DIY work, including mixing.
• Bulk feed and water carrying.
• Garden clearance and heavy garden loads.
• Not a hoof-picking or grooming tub — the Gorilla Tub Small Shallow 15L is the wide, shallow working shape.
• Not big enough for a whole barn or a set of rugs; the Gorilla Tub Extra Large 75L is the bulk option.

How to Use

• Lift a full one with both hands on the handles — 26 litres of water is about 26kg.
• Use the chamfered edge as a lip: hold the tub on its side and sweep or scoop straight into it.
• Rinse between feed and dirty work; food-grade or not, mortar and hard feed do not belong in the same tub on the same day.
• Wash out with warm water and a mild detergent, then upend it to drain.
• Store it upturned outside, or nest it inside a larger tub.
