Mortar tubs commonly range from around 90 litres for small repair jobs up to 350 litres or more for larger bricklaying and rendering projects. Choose based on batch size and how often you want to mix — a bigger tub means fewer mixes but needs more room to manoeuvre with a barrow or hoist. Most are moulded in tough polyethylene so they won't crack when loaded with wet mortar or when knocked about on site.

Yes, our site storage boxes are built from heavy-gauge steel or GRP with weatherproof seals to keep tools, cabling and power equipment dry even in driving rain. Most feature lockable lids or integrated padlock points, and many meet insurance-rated security standards for sites where theft is a concern. For higher-value kit, look at models with reinforced hinges and anti-pry lips on the lid.

Most site shelters are designed as freestanding or ground-anchored structures and don't need a permanent foundation, though a level, compacted base — such as hardcore or paving slabs — will improve stability and drainage. For larger shelters or exposed sites, ground anchors or ballast weights are recommended to prevent movement in high winds. Always check the manufacturer's fixing guidance before use in exposed or elevated locations.

Auto-tipping skips are designed to be lifted and tipped directly by a forklift or telehandler, so waste can be emptied without manual shovelling or waiting for a lorry-mounted skip service. This saves significant time on sites generating regular waste, such as demolition or groundworks, and reduces manual handling risks. They're typically built from heavy-gauge steel to withstand repeated tipping cycles and rough site conditions.

Most vehicle toolboxes are designed to bolt directly onto existing chassis mounting points or load-bed rails, so drilling is rarely needed on standard pickups and vans. It's worth checking the toolbox dimensions against your vehicle's bed or load area before ordering, as fitment varies between makes and models. If you're unsure, our team can help you match a toolbox to your specific vehicle.

Lead times depend on the item's size and stock availability, with smaller equipment like mortar tubs and toolboxes typically arriving faster than larger fabricated items such as skips and shelters. Bulky or made-to-order products may require kerbside delivery via HIAB or similar plant, so please ensure your site has suitable access. We'll confirm specific delivery details and any access requirements when you place your order.
