The mortar bucket is made of high-strength polyethylene. This material is extremely robust and durable and is therefore also suitable for use in harsh environments. The mortar bucket is therefore ideal for use in construction, renovation and refurbishment as well as in industry. The mortar bucket is craneable and has a circumferential tubular frame with fold-down crane eyes. This makes it easy and safe to move, even with a crane. The tubular frame also ensures a high level of stability for the mortar bucket.
