Product Information
Full details
The Red Gorilla 14 Litre Gorilla Tub is designed for tradespeople, gardeners, and homeowners who need a highly versatile and durable multi-purpose storage container. Its primary benefit is its extreme flexibility, which allows users to easily manipulate the shape for pouring, scooping, or clearing away dried materials. While its small 14-litre size is excellent for portability, users requiring heavy-duty storage for large-scale construction projects may find the capacity limiting compared to larger variants.

FAQs
Is this tub food safe?
While the material is non-toxic, it is primarily designed for construction and gardening use and is not certified for food storage.
Can I leave this outside all year round?
Yes, the tub is both frost-proof and UV-resistant, making it suitable for long-term outdoor storage.
What is the maximum weight capacity?
The reinforced handles are EU tested to handle a working weight of up to 100kg.
Does this size come with a lid?
No, the standard 14-litre Gorilla Tub is an open-top vessel design.
Will it crack if I drop it while full?
The tub is designed for high impact and is resistant to cracking, even when dropped while carrying heavy loads.
Troubleshooting
Dried material is stuck to the bottom
Firmly flex the walls of the tub outward to break the bond between the material and the plastic walls.
The tub feels stiff in cold temperatures
While frost-proof, the plastic may become slightly more rigid in extreme sub-zero temperatures. Warm the tub in a garage or indoor area to restore its flexibility.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
The Gorilla Tub requires no assembly; it is ready for use immediately upon arrival. To maintain its longevity, avoid using sharp metal tools directly against the surface, as deep gouges can weaken the material over time. When cleaning, simply use water and a stiff brush; for stubborn substances, allow them to dry completely and flex the walls of the tub to pop the debris out. While it is UV-proof, storing it away from extreme, constant direct sunlight when not in use can further extend the life of the plastic. Always ensure the load does not exceed the 100kg limit to prevent handle strain.
