About Red Gorilla

Red Gorilla is a British company with deep roots in manufacturing high-quality plastic products for agricultural, equestrian, and construction markets. Based in the UK, the brand has built an exceptional reputation over decades for producing some of the toughest, most reliable flexible containers and site equipment available. The company's name reflects their commitment to strength and durability – their products are built like gorillas, designed to handle punishment that would destroy lesser alternatives.

Red Gorilla pioneered the use of specially formulated Gorilla-Tuff™ plastic, a proprietary material that combines flexibility with incredible impact resistance, even in freezing temperatures. This innovation transformed the bucket and tub market, offering tradespeople an alternative to rigid containers that crack and split under stress. Today, Red Gorilla products are trusted by professionals across the UK and Europe, with their distinctive coloured tubs becoming an iconic sight on building sites, farms, and stables nationwide.

Why Choose Red Gorilla Site Equipment?

Red Gorilla products represent exceptional value for money, combining professional-grade durability with practical design features that make everyday tasks easier. The brand's signature Gorilla-Tuff™ material is virtually indestructible under normal working conditions, resisting cracks, splits, and UV degradation that plague cheaper alternatives. This means Red Gorilla buckets and tubs often outlast multiple replacements of inferior products, making them a genuinely economical choice for professional tradespeople.

The flexibility of Red Gorilla containers is a genuine game-changer on site. Unlike rigid buckets that require awkward tipping and often result in spillage, Red Gorilla's flexible tubs can be gently squeezed to create a perfect pouring spout, giving you complete control over material placement. The flexible construction also means they're practically impossible to crack if dropped or stood on – they simply flex and return to shape. Reinforced handles with thick steel construction and comfort plastic grips are designed for easy lifting even when carrying heavy loads, and the sturdy ribbed walls prevent deformation when stacked or stored.

Red Gorilla's reputation among UK tradespeople speaks volumes about their quality. These aren't disposable site buckets – they're professional tools that many tradesmen use for years. The products are easy to clean, resistant to most chemicals and building materials, and maintain their structural integrity even with daily heavy use. When you choose Red Gorilla, you're investing in equipment that works as hard as you do.

Perfect for Your Job

Red Gorilla products excel in demanding environments where ordinary containers simply fail. Plasterers rely on Red Gorilla mixing buckets and bins for preparing consistent batches of plaster and render, knowing the flexible design makes emptying easier and the durable construction resists the abrasive nature of building compounds. The Versatile Spot Board system provides plasterers and decorators with a stable, portable working platform that sets up quickly on any site and packs away compactly for transport.

Construction sites benefit from Red Gorilla's muck buckets and large tubs for storing and transporting aggregates, waste materials, and tools. The shallow tub designs are perfect for mixing smaller quantities or holding equipment where visibility and access are important. Agricultural and equestrian applications take advantage of Red Gorilla's weather-resistant, food-safe containers for feed storage, water carrying, and stable management, where hygiene and durability are paramount.

For groundworkers and landscapers, Red Gorilla's one-piece plastic shovels offer a rust-proof, lightweight alternative to metal tools, whilst their tubs handle everything from compost to gravel with ease. Even general maintenance and cleaning tasks are improved with Red Gorilla products – their brooms and buckets stand up to repeated use with harsh cleaning chemicals and rough treatment that would quickly destroy standard equipment.
