Mortar Tub & Masonry Tubs

One of the challenges faced by brick and block masonry contractors is the constant need to retemper mortar. Shallow pans are much longer and wider than deep, and so mortar dries out quickly, especially in hot climates. Easy Rack mortar tubs save construction companies a lot of time and money by preserving mortar longer and minimizing the need to retemper it.

A mortar tub is a deep mortar box designed to be transported by a forklift. Because it is a deep container, there is less surface area at the top. Less surface area means less evaporation, so mortar stays longer and does not evaporate as quickly as it does in a pan. This is a tremendous cost saver for masonry companies who work in Texas and other hot climates. Labor becomes more streamlined, and projects are therefore finished more quickly.

Mortar tubs are also safer to use than pans when working on a scaffold. Multiple mortar pans often take up more room on the scaffold than is convenient or safe. Because they are shallow, they are easier for masons to both trip over and inadvertently kick off the scaffold. Many accidents can be prevented by using these deeper, more compact containers that takes up less total room on the scaffold, hold more product, and that have a more stable center of gravity that will hold it in place on the scaffold. Masons enjoy more freedom of movement when they use these containers, and they also have more room on the scaffold to arrange their masonry tools.

Forklift placement is another advantage of mortar tubs. Letting the forklift driver place a stable container in an accessible spot makes it much easier for masons to focus on their jobs rather than having to manually carry and arrange pans.

Mortar tubs and mortar buggies are manufactured using durable 10 gauge steel that can handle the often cramped and difficult environments of scaffold work. Every unit is also built with reinforced corners that brace the structure against accidental impact. One end of the unit slopes downward so the mason can shovel out the mortar and place it on boards. The mason can then take the mortar from the boards as needed without excess waste or spillage, and with the remainder of the supply kept insulated within the tub.

Forklift mortar tubs come in two standard sizes. The smaller container is 24"W x 22"H x 32"L and weights only 121 lbs. The larger container is 24"W x 22"H x 48"L and weights 155 lbs. Both offer companies a more consolidated and efficient form of mortar transport, storage, and retrieval.
