The Multiquip Mud Tub is a heavy-duty, high-capacity, wheeled mortar tub engineered for maximum durability, jobsite efficiency, and easy cleanup in modern masonry, concrete, and stucco applications. Designed for professional masons, contractors, and rental fleets, this robust poly mud tub streamlines the transport, storage, and dispensing of mortar, grout, or plaster—delivering superior performance, reduced maintenance costs, and long service life even in the toughest working conditions.

Product Overview

The Mud Tub is Multiquip’s flagship mobile mortar bin, constructed from impact and cold-weather-resistant polyethylene that not only resists dents, cracks, and rust but also stands up to repeated heavy use and exposure to the elements. Its substantial 10 cubic foot (0.28 m³) capacity accommodates large batches of mortar or grout, supporting continuous feeding of labor crews on large block walls, brick runs, or stucco projects. The Mud Tub - W is also engineered with heavy-duty 8” high-impact caster wheels, allowing for smooth and easy movement across rough or cluttered jobsites, making it far superior to traditional stationary tubs or metal wheelbarrows.

Core Features & Durability

• 10 Cubic Foot Capacity: Ample size accommodates up to 1,000 lbs (453 kg) of mortar, ensuring a steady workflow with minimal refills.

• Polyethylene Construction: UV- and cold weather-resistant; eliminates rust, corrosion, and cracks that plague steel tubs—ideal for both hot sun and freezing winter operations.

• EasyClean Design: Dried mortar or grout releases with a simple tap of a rubber mallet—dramatically decreasing end-of-day cleanup time and lowering labor costs.

• Heavy-Duty Casters: 8-inch high-impact wheels provide stable, smooth transport over uneven terrain, debris, or scaffolding planks.

• Steel Reinforced Base: Supports full tub weight even when loaded to maximum and resists flex during tipping or jostling.

• One-Year Warranty: Multiquip’s reputation for robust customer support backs every Mud Tub, guaranteeing reliability out of the box.

Technical Specifications

Performance & Jobsite Advantages

• Maximized Crew Productivity: Large interior volume ensures that the masons stay supplied with fresh mud without frequent returns to the mixer, reducing downtime and labor bottlenecks.

• Superior Jobsite Mobility: The oversized casters make it easy for a single worker to maneuver the mud tub—full or empty—through tight aisles, scaffolding, or across rough concrete.

• No More Rust or Dents: Poly construction is immune to most on-site hazards, significantly outlasting sheet metal tubs and resisting accidental drops, impacts, or corrosion from harsh cleanout chemicals.

• Time-Saving Cleanup: Sticky or hardened mortar is easily dislodged with a mallet—users report saving 15+ minutes daily over steel tubs, while maintaining a cleaner jobsite and batch quality.

• Reduced Maintenance: Unlike steel alternatives, poly tubs do not require ongoing repairs due to rust holes, bent frames, or cracked welds, saving owners on lifecycle costs.

Professional Applications

• Block & Brickwork: Keeps masons supplied during long wall pulls or scaffold work.

• Stucco & Plaster: Bulk storage for ready-mix during application, whether ground or multi-level tasks.

• Concrete Repair: Hauls grout or small batch repair mixes easily to remote job zones.

• Rental Fleets: Favored for low-maintenance, high-durability, and quick client turnaround—ideal for ongoing construction, new builds, or maintenance shops.

• Event/Disaster Response: Great for fast, mobile batching or distribution of patch/repair mixes during restorations or temporary installations.

User Reviews & Field Feedback

• “Most durable tub yet”: Contractors and rental customers report that even after years of rough use and being left outdoors, the Mud Tub - W “shows almost no wear.”

• “Super easy to move and clean": Mason crews note that wheels handle site debris well, and using a mallet for cleanout is “a game-changer.”

• “A must for scaffold work": Users mention that the large volume and easy rolling lets them stage tubs at multiple points without constant returns to ground level—critical for tall block walls or commercial stucco.

• Rental fleet managers: Praise the Mud Tub - W’s one-year warranty, minimal breakages, and high utilization rates.

Maintenance & Best Practices

• For best cleanout, tap dried mortar with a mallet before rinsing—never use sharp metal tools.

• Store out of direct sun when possible to maximize poly UV resistance.

• Inspect wheel fittings weekly and lubricate caster axles as needed.

• Do not overload beyond maximum rating (1,000 lbs) to preserve tub and wheel life.

• Clean and dry the tub after each use, especially following colored or high-alkaline mixes.

Frequently Asked Questions
