Product Information
Full details
The ProSolve Flexi-Tub is a versatile, heavy-duty container ideal for professional contractors, gardeners, and DIY enthusiasts who need a reliable solution for transporting rubble, soil, or building materials. Its primary strength lies in its puncture-resistant, recycled plastic construction, which balances durability with a lightweight feel for easier manual handling; however, it is important to note that while the material is extremely tough, it is not designed to support sharp, heavy point-loads that could eventually compromise the integrity of the base.

FAQs
Is the tub food-safe?
No, this product is manufactured from recycled industrial plastics and is not certified for food storage.
Can I use this for mixing concrete?
Yes, its flexible, durable walls make it an excellent vessel for mixing small to medium batches of mortar or concrete.
Will it crack in freezing weather?
It is designed to be frost-resistant, but you should avoid dropping or hitting the tub while it is frozen, as extreme impact on cold plastic can increase brittleness.
Can the handles hold a lot of weight?
The handles are reinforced and integral to the rim design, allowing them to support the weight of a full load of sand or rubble without issue.
Is it UV resistant?
Yes, the materials are treated to withstand exposure to UV light, preventing significant degradation during outdoor use.
Troubleshooting
Tub feels stiff in cold temperatures
The plastic may naturally firm up in freezing conditions; it remains durable, but avoid extreme bending until it warms to room temperature.
Stubborn residue or concrete stuck to sides
Allow the residue to dry completely, then gently flex the walls of the tub to pop the material off the surface.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This product requires no assembly and is ready for use immediately upon receipt. To maintain the longevity of your Flexi-Tub:
- Cleaning: Simply rinse with a hose or pressure washer to remove soil or building residue.
- Storage: While weather-resistant, storing the tub in a shaded area when not in use for extended periods will maximize the lifespan of the material.
- Load Distribution: Try to distribute heavy items evenly across the base rather than concentrating the weight on a single point to prevent potential punctures.
- Compatibility: The tub is fully compatible with standard site equipment and can be easily stacked if you have multiple units.
