🔨10-gauge steel, continuous welds
📘 Overview
A Star Industries forklift mortar tub moves up to 10 cubic feet of mortar around a site in one lift, so masons are supplied without wheelbarrow trips. Two sizes are offered: the 103 at 6 cu ft and the 102 at 10 cu ft, both 24 inches wide and 22 inches high, differing only in length at 32 and 48 inches. One end is sloped for easy shovelling, which is what lets a mason work the tub out cleanly rather than chasing mortar into a square corner. Construction is durable 10-gauge steel with continuous welded seams and reinforced corners.

🔑 Why Buyers Choose the Star Industries Forklift Mortar Tub
- The sloped end is what empties the tub — a square corner traps mortar and a mason ends up chasing it with a trowel. Sloping one end means the shovel works the tub out clean.
- Ten cubic feet in one lift replaces a run of barrows — the forklift already on site delivers a working supply to the scaffold in one movement instead of a labourer making repeated trips.
- Continuous welded seams do not leak — mortar finds every gap, and a spot-welded tub weeps at the joints and then rusts through from the inside. Continuous welds are the difference over a season.
- Reinforced corners survive being set down hard — a tub gets dropped the last few inches more often than it gets placed. The corners take that, which is why they are reinforced rather than plain folded.
- Two lengths, same footprint width — both tubs are 24 inches wide and 22 inches high, so a 6 cu ft and a 10 cu ft stack and store the same way and only the length changes.

🔗 Mortar Tubs and Mortar Buggies
A mortar tub is moved by forklift and set down where the crew is working. Where mortar needs to be pushed by hand around a floor or between buildings instead, the Star mortar buggies are the equivalent product — the 105 at 6 cu ft and the 106 at 10 cu ft, on 8 inch high-strength poly wheels with both ends sloped. Many sites use both: tubs to deliver from the mixer by machine, buggies to distribute by hand.
🚜 Which Forklifts Move a Mortar Tub?
The tub is lifted and placed by forklift, and there is no mount or coupler to match. Both sizes are 24 inches wide and 22 inches high, so the practical constraints are the weight of the mortar and the access route to where the crew is working. Ten cubic feet of mixed mortar is heavy — check your machine load chart at the height and reach you intend to place at rather than at the standard load centre.
| Requirement | Detail |
|---|---|
| Handling | Lifted and placed by forklift |
| Sizes | 6 cu ft (103) and 10 cu ft (102) |
| Common dimensions | 24 in wide x 22 in high on both |
| Load consideration | Check the machine load chart at working height and reach |
| For hand distribution instead | Star mortar buggies 105 and 106 |
❓ Star Industries Forklift Mortar Tub Questions, Answered
What size mortar tub should I choose?
The 103 holds 6 cu ft in a 32 inch length; the 102 holds 10 cu ft in a 48 inch length. Both are 24 inches wide and 22 inches high, so the only difference is length and capacity — choose on how much a crew works through between refills.
Why is one end sloped?
For easy shovelling. A square corner traps mortar and has to be chased out with a trowel. A sloped end lets the shovel work the tub out clean, which matters at the end of every batch.
What is the tub made from?
Durable 10-gauge steel with continuous welded seams and reinforced corners. Continuous welds matter because mortar finds every gap, and a seam that weeps will rust the tub from the inside out.
How is a mortar tub moved?
By forklift. The tub is lifted and set down where the crew is working, which replaces a labourer making repeated wheelbarrow trips from the mixer.
What is the difference between a mortar tub and a mortar buggy?
A tub is moved by forklift and set down; a buggy is pushed by hand on wheels. Star mortar buggies come in the same 6 and 10 cu ft capacities on 8 inch poly wheels. Many sites use tubs to deliver from the mixer and buggies to distribute.
How much does a full tub weigh?
Mortar is heavy and the exact weight depends on the mix, so check your forklift load chart at the height and reach you intend to place at rather than assuming the rated capacity at standard load centre applies.
Are the corners reinforced?
Yes. Reinforced corners are standard, because a tub is set down hard far more often than it is placed gently, and the corners take that impact.
What warranty comes with the mortar tub?
The Star Industries mortar tubs carry a 5-year factory guarantee and are made in the USA.
