FAQs

Is the Red Gorilla Mini Shallow Tub 5L safe for food storage?

Yes, this tub is made from food-grade LDPE (Low-Density Polyethylene), which means it is safe for storing and preparing food items. Additionally, the orange variant is BPA-free.

Can I use this tub for my pets or livestock?

Absolutely. The material used is horse and pet friendly, making it a safe choice for holding feed, water, or even toys for your animals.

What is the capacity of this tub?

The Red Gorilla Mini Shallow Tub has a capacity of 5 liters.

How do I clean my Gorilla Tub?

For most uses, a simple rinse with water is sufficient. For more thorough cleaning, use warm soapy water and a brush. Its smooth interior makes cleaning very easy.

Is the tub durable enough for heavy-duty tasks?

Yes, it is built to last with ribbed sides for strength and reinforced handles designed to withstand heavy loads, making it suitable for various heavy-duty tasks within its 5L capacity.

Can I leave the tub outside in all weather conditions?

The tub is weather-resistant and designed to endure various conditions. However, for maximum longevity, it's always recommended to store it in a sheltered area when not in prolonged use, especially in extreme temperatures.

Does this tub come with a lid?

No, the Red Gorilla Mini Shallow Tub 5L does not include a lid as part of its standard packaging.

Troubleshooting

Tub deforms under very heavy loads.

Ensure weight is distributed evenly across the tub and use both handles for support. For extremely heavy contents, consider transferring smaller amounts or using a more rigid container if available.

Difficulty cleaning stubborn residues (e.g., dried concrete, sticky food).

Soak the tub with warm, soapy water for several minutes to loosen the residue. Use a stiff brush or non-abrasive scrubber to remove the material. For food residues, ensure thorough washing with food-safe detergent and rinse well.

Tub feels stiff or brittle in extreme cold weather.

While weather-resistant, extreme cold can temporarily reduce the tub's flexibility. If possible, allow the tub to warm up slightly indoors before flexing or handling it roughly in very cold conditions to maintain its pliability.

Handles are difficult to grip when hands are wet or gloved.

The 'golf ball' texture is designed to improve grip. If hands are excessively wet or gloves are very slippery, try to dry your hands or use gloves with better grip. Ensure your grasp is firm, utilizing the reinforced nature of the handles.

Unpleasant odor develops after storing certain materials (e.g., garden waste, pet food).

Thoroughly wash the tub with warm, soapy water and rinse completely. For persistent odors, a solution of baking soda and water can be used for soaking, followed by a final wash and air drying in direct sunlight (if safe for the material in your climate) to help neutralize smells.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Extremely versatile for numerous tasks (gardening, household, pet care, food)
  • Highly durable and built to withstand rigorous use and varying weather conditions
  • Food-grade material and BPA-free (for Orange color) ensures safety for food and pets
  • Reinforced handles and flexible design make it easy to carry heavy or awkward loads
  • Chamfered edges simplify scooping, sweeping, and pouring tasks
  • Compact 5L size is ideal for small spaces and quick tasks

Cons

  • Limited 5L capacity is not suitable for very large-scale projects
  • Does not come with a lid, which might be desired for some storage needs
  • Flexibility can lead to minor deformation if overfilled with exceptionally heavy, dense materials without proper support
  • Can be difficult to stack neatly when partially full due to its flexible nature

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

Your Red Gorilla Mini Shallow Tub 5L requires no assembly. It is ready for immediate use straight out of the packaging.

Compatibility

This tub is highly compatible with a wide array of contents:

  • Food Items: Suitable for direct contact with food for storage, preparation, or serving.
  • Liquids: Ideal for water, detergents, pet drinks, or liquid fertilizers.
  • Solids: Perfect for soil, compost, sand, gravel, animal feed, toys, tools, or cleaning supplies.
  • Animals: Safe for use with horses, pets, and livestock as a feeder, water trough, or general carrier.

Care

Maintaining your Gorilla Tub is straightforward, ensuring its longevity and hygiene:

  1. Cleaning: For general cleaning, simply rinse the tub with water. For more stubborn dirt or food residues, use warm water with a mild soap or detergent. A brush can be used for tough spots. The smooth interior makes cleaning easy.
  2. Drying: Allow the tub to air dry completely, especially if storing food or pet supplies, to prevent mold or odors.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use. While weather-resistant, prolonged exposure to extreme direct sunlight or freezing temperatures can potentially reduce its lifespan or affect its flexibility over time.
  4. Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use abrasive cleaners, strong acids, or solvents as these can damage the food-grade LDPE material.
