FAQs
Is the Tubtrug food safe?
Yes, Red Gorilla Tubtrugs are manufactured from food-grade plastic, making them safe for storing feed or produce.
Can I leave the tub outside all winter?
Yes, the material is weather-resistant and designed to withstand freezing temperatures and moisture.
What is the maximum weight the handles can support?
While the tub itself holds 42 liters of volume, it is recommended to keep loads manageable for the user; the handles are rated for heavy-duty use but should not be subjected to extreme point-impacts.
Is this tub recyclable?
Yes, the product is 100% recyclable. Please check your local municipal guidelines for plastic recycling disposal.
Will the plastic become brittle over time?
The high-grade, flexible plastic is formulated to resist becoming brittle even after years of standard use in varied environments.
Troubleshooting
Tub looks deformed or warped
The tub is designed to be flexible; if it has deformed, place it in a warm environment (or sunlight) and press it back into shape by hand, as heat will help the plastic regain its original form.
Dirt stuck in corners
Use a stiff-bristled brush or a high-pressure water spray to reach into the bottom corners and dislodge dried debris.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Extremely durable and impact-resistant plastic
- Large capacity is ideal for heavy-duty tasks
- Easy to clean with a quick hose down
- Stackable design saves storage space when not in use
- Lightweight compared to metal alternatives

Setup, Compatibility & Care
The Tubtrug requires no assembly; it is ready to use immediately out of the packaging. To maintain the structural integrity and cleanliness of your tub, consider the following:
- Cleaning: Wash with warm soapy water and a soft brush. For stubborn mud or debris, a high-pressure hose is sufficient to clean the interior.
- Storage: While the tubs are durable, storing them in a cool, shaded area when not in use can prolong the lifespan of the plastic against intense, long-term UV exposure.
- Loading: Always distribute weight evenly across the base of the tub. Avoid lifting by a single handle when the tub is filled with heavy, dense materials like wet sand or rubble.
