FAQs

Is the Red Gorilla Small 14L Green Tub BPA free?

No, this specific Green Gorilla Tub (along with Black and Yellow variants) is made from food-grade LDPE but is not BPA free. If BPA-free is a strict requirement for your use, please choose an alternative color from the Red Gorilla range that is specified as BPA free.

Can I use this tub for mixing concrete or mortar?

Yes, its flexibility and chamfered edges make it excellent for mixing small batches of concrete, mortar, or plaster. The material is durable enough to withstand the abrasive nature of these materials, and it's easy to clean afterwards.

What is the weight capacity of the tub?

While the tub has a volume capacity of 14 liters, its weight capacity depends on the density of the material. The reinforced handles are designed to withstand significant weight, but always use your judgment and proper lifting techniques. It's built to handle typical heavy loads for its size, such as wet soil or gravel.

Is it safe to leave the tub outside in all weather conditions?

Yes, the Gorilla Tub is weather resistant and designed for outdoor use. It can withstand rain, sun, and varying temperatures without significant degradation. However, for maximum lifespan and to preserve color, storing it out of prolonged direct sunlight when not in use is recommended.

Can I stack multiple tubs?

Yes, these tubs are designed to be stackable when empty for convenient storage. You can nest them within each other to save space.

What does 'food grade LDPE' mean?

Food grade LDPE (Low-Density Polyethylene) means the material is certified safe for contact with food products. This makes the tub suitable for storing or preparing animal feed, fruits, vegetables, or other food items without chemicals leaching into them, with the important caveat that this specific green tub is not BPA free.

Will the color fade over time?

Like most plastics, prolonged exposure to direct sunlight and harsh UV rays over many years can lead to some color fading. Storing the tub indoors or in shaded areas when not in use can help preserve its vibrant green color.

Troubleshooting

Tub feels stiff or less flexible in cold weather.

This is normal for LDPE material. The tub will regain its full flexibility once it returns to warmer temperatures. Its durability is not compromised by cold.

Tub appears stained after holding certain materials (e.g., potting soil, paint).

Clean promptly after use. For tougher stains, use a stiff brush with warm soapy water. For very persistent stains, a mild abrasive cleaner can be used, but always rinse thoroughly.

Handles feel uncomfortable when carrying very heavy loads, despite being reinforced.

While reinforced, a full 14L of very dense material (like wet sand or gravel) can be heavy. Use proper lifting techniques: bend your knees, lift with your legs, and keep the tub close to your body. Consider emptying some contents if the load is too much.

Tub seems to be losing its shape or bowing.

Ensure you are not consistently overloading the tub beyond its 14L capacity. While the ribbed sides add strength, extreme, consistent overloading can cause minor deformation over time. Empty and allow it to rest to regain shape.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Extremely durable and built to last through rigorous use.
  • Highly flexible for easy pouring, scooping, and storage in tight spots.
  • Weather resistant, suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications.
  • Reinforced handles make it comfortable to carry heavy loads.
  • Food grade material suitable for a wide range of uses, including pet feed and food prep.
  • Chamfered edges simplify tasks like sweeping and scooping.

Cons

  • The Green variant specifically is not BPA free, which may be a concern for some users for certain food applications.
  • Small 14L capacity might be insufficient for larger projects or bulk transport.
  • Flexible nature means it can warp if left with heavy, hot materials for extended periods (e.g., hot asphalt, boiling water).
  • Not suitable for extremely sharp objects, which could puncture the material.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

Your Red Gorilla Gorilla Tub requires no assembly. Simply unpackage it, and it's ready for immediate use.

Compatibility

This small 14L tub is incredibly versatile and compatible with a wide range of materials and tasks:

  • Materials: Suitable for carrying liquids, solids, granules, powders, and more. Use it for water, soil, sand, gravel, animal feed, laundry, toys, or construction materials.
  • Environments: Ideal for use in gardens, stables, farms, workshops, construction sites, households, and even camping.
  • Tools: Easily accommodates small hand tools, garden implements, or cleaning supplies.

Care

To ensure your Gorilla Tub provides years of reliable service, follow these simple care guidelines:

  1. Cleaning: For general cleaning, rinse with water. For stubborn dirt or residues, use a mild soap and a brush, then rinse thoroughly. The smooth interior and chamfered edges make cleaning straightforward.
  2. Storage: While weather resistant, storing the tub out of direct prolonged sunlight when not in use can help maintain its color and flexibility over a very long period. Store in a cool, dry place.
  3. Avoid Overfilling: Although durable, consistently overloading the tub beyond its 14L capacity with extremely heavy materials can stress the handles over time.
  4. Sharp Objects: Avoid placing extremely sharp objects like broken glass, jagged metal, or very sharp tools directly into the tub without protection, as this could puncture the material.
  5. Temperature Extremes: While weather resistant, avoid prolonged exposure to extreme heat (e.g., hot coals, direct flame) as this can damage the LDPE material. In very cold temperatures, the tub may become slightly less flexible, but it will regain its full flexibility at warmer temperatures.
