Bear Iron Works 50 Gal Steel Mortar Tub - With or Without Casters

The Bear Iron Works 50 Gal Mortar Tub is a heavy-duty steel mixing and containment tub designed for masonry, concrete, stucco, grout, and general construction applications. Built from ASTM A36 steel, it provides contractors with a rigid, durable alternative to plastic mortar tubs that can flex, crack, or deteriorate under repeated jobsite use.

Its square footprint creates a stable working area for mixing and holding mortar, grout, stucco, thinset, and small batches of concrete. The steel construction maintains its shape under load while providing a reusable solution suitable for demanding commercial and residential projects.

The Mortar Tub is available either as a stationary tub or with 4-inch casters for increased mobility around the work area. The caster-equipped version raises the overall height to approximately 19.75 inches, allowing crews to reposition the tub more easily as masonry or concrete work progresses.

Beyond mixing, the tub can also be used for tool washout, slurry containment, and general jobsite cleanup, giving contractors a versatile piece of equipment that can serve multiple functions throughout a project. Bear's supplied product data identifies the tub as forklift compatible and suitable for repeated construction-site use.

Which model should you choose?

No Casters: Choose the stationary configuration if the tub will primarily remain in one work area or be repositioned using appropriate material-handling equipment. This configuration has a lower overall height of approximately 15.125 inches.

4" Casters: Choose the caster-equipped model when crews need to reposition the tub regularly around masonry, concrete, or construction work areas. The caster configuration raises the overall height to approximately 19.75 inches.

Both configurations use the same heavy-duty steel tub construction and internal dimensions.
