A Mortar Tub That's Built to Keep Up With You
If you’re moving mortar, concrete, or aggregates in serious quantities, a flimsy tub just slows you down. This 250L blue mortar tub is the heavier-duty option, the one contractors reach for when the job involves repeated lifting, daily abuse, and no room for downtime.
It’s made from recycled, UV-stabilised MDPE, so it holds its shape and colour even after months left out in the weather. The reinforced rim and corners are there for a reason: they stop the tub from flexing or splitting under load, which matters when you’re filling it to the brim day after day.
The standout feature is the integrated forklift channels, built into multiple sides so you can lift and move it securely with a forklift, telehandler, or pallet truck. That means fewer manual carries, faster material handling, and less strain on your team.
At 250 litres, it holds enough to cut down on repeat mixing or trips back and forth, useful on larger jobs where time on site is money. And when it’s empty, it stacks with others of the same size, so it won’t eat up space in the yard or on the wagon.
Works Well Alongside:
- A Belle Premier 250L cement mixer for faster batching
- A Belle Warrior wheelbarrow for moving mixed material around site
- Our lighter-duty 250L white mortar tub, if you don’t need the reinforced blue version

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
How Is This Different From a Standard Mortar Tub?
The main difference comes down to build strength, this one’s designed with thicker, reinforced walls and forklift channels for repeated heavy use, rather than occasional light jobs.
Will the Forklift Channels Fit My Telehandler Forks?
The channels are positioned on multiple sides for standard forklift and telehandler fork widths. If you’re unsure about compatibility with a specific machine, give us a call before ordering.
Does It Come Flat-Packed or Fully Assembled?
It arrives ready to use, no assembly required. Just unload and get mixing.
Can I Use It for Materials Other Than Mortar and Concrete?
Yes. It’s commonly used for aggregates, sand, general site waste, and even as temporary bulk storage for loose materials.
How Many Tubs Can I Stack Together for Storage?
They nest securely when empty, though we’d recommend keeping stacks to a manageable height for stability, particularly outdoors in windy conditions.
Is It Suitable for Use With a Cement Mixer, or Just for Hand-Mixing?
Both. It’s sized to sit alongside a mixer for batching straight in, or for hand-mixing with a hoe or shovel.
What's the Lead Time If I Order Today?
Standard delivery is 2–5 working days. Click-and-collect is also available from our Aldingbourne yard, just call ahead first.
How Much Does the Empty Tub Weigh?
It’s light enough for one or two people to move by hand when empty, despite the reinforced build, heavy enough materials handling only really comes into play once it’s loaded. If you need an exact weight for transport or lifting-plan purposes, let us know and we’ll confirm before you order.
