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.

Heavy Construction Equipment

Easy Rack knows customization is the key to safety, ergonomics, and success. There are so many different types of applications for heavy construction that the need to specialize and customize fork trucks, masonry tools, and skid-steers almost always presents itself on the job site.

Forklift Accessories
Forklifts attachments are OSHA compliant heavy construction equipment that turns forklifts into loading platforms. Standard safety platforms enable the forklift to reach over obstructions too high for scissor lifts and other heavy construction equipment. They provide much wider platforms than boom lifts, and they can be lifted more rapidly than scaffolding.

Skid-Steer Loading Products
These products let you customize your loading into a specialized piece of heavy construction equipment. Scoop and mix concrete mixers allow you to scoop up sand and gravel in the bucket position, then rotate for in-place concrete mixing. Hoppers are designed to clear debris from construction sites and landscaping projects. Root grapples and grapple buckets help landscaping crews to clear and prepare properties for a new look.

Masonry Construction Equipment
Easy Rack Masonry Equipment for Heavy Construction saves time and money for the time. Tools such as Mortar Buggies are an excellent way to move mortar into areas that cannot be accessed by forklifts. Brick Carts and Block Carts often save companies as much as 80% on labor cost to move brick and block. Nesting Forklift Mortar Tubs are easily to move, and they can be stacked stored with your forklift.

Heavy Construction Equipment Forks
You can equip your forklift or your skid-steer with many types of forks. Forks get damaged to the point that they need to be replaced. Easy Rack carries replacement forks in brick, block and general purpose styles. Each style is specially designed for the designated purposes. Over the bucket forks allow you to use your skid steer vehicle like a forklift. Another add on for your skid-steer is the fork frame attachment with bright red fork tips clearly visible for safety reasons, and a heavy duty tapered backstop that keeps the forks from swinging when picking up very heavy or odd sized loads.

Tow/Load/Haul
Heavy construction equipment often has to be moved by an individual worker. In order to make this as ergonomic as possible, special tow, load, and hauling tools are strongly recommended, especially when moving heavy construction equipment that is bulky or manufactured with disproportionate dimensions. Load and tows reduce customer wait time, cut labor cost by helping workers get the job done in less time with little or no need for overtime, prevent back injury, and reduce damage to equipment. Ramps and steel loaded pins allow for easy and safe transportation via fork truck.
