Mortar Skips

What Is A Mortar Skip?

A mortar skip is a durable container designed for the easy transport and handling of mortar on construction sites. These skips are typically made from heavy-duty materials such as steel or high-density polyethylene, ensuring they can withstand the rigors of a busy construction environment. Mortar skips often come equipped with lifting handles or brackets, making it easy to move them with a forklift, crane, or other lifting equipment. They help streamline the process of moving mixed mortar from the mixing area to the point of use, improving efficiency and reducing labor costs.

Do I Need A Mortar Tub For My Mortar Skip?

No, you do not necessarily need a mortar tub for your mortar skip, but it can be beneficial depending on your specific needs. A mortar tub can be used inside the mortar skip to contain the mortar more effectively, making cleaning easier and extending the lifespan of the skip. It also allows for quick and easy swapping of different mortar batches without the need to thoroughly clean the skip between uses. However, if your construction processes are streamlined and you prefer direct use of the skip, you can operate without a separate tub.
