Large Tilting Slc Bucket

[hmtiling]

Hello all.
I've got 110m2 floor to level and it needs to be spot on for 1200x2400 porcelain. I've seen large dustbin sized buckets on wheels, with a tilting mechanism, so 4/5 bags of slc can be mixed in one go.
Anyone know where i can buy one?
Thanks in advance.

Raimondi do one, give Colin at kwiksplit a call

Check the cost of DIYing it as opposed to getting a company in to pump it?

I got 2 of these Wickes Heavy Duty Dustbin 90L | Wickes.co.uk you can mix 4-5bags in one go while one is on the "road" you got second on the stand getting ready i use dolly to move them around as they are close to 125-150 kg once full

I'm on the isle of wight and getting someone across to do it will cost too much.
Cheers for the input though.

On a big hotel job we liberated from the bar one of the big blue bins they have for empty bottles.
holds 5-6 bags, on wheels ,and being long and thin, not too hard to tip over sideways
Cost £0

Thanks for the input guys. Think the heavy duty bin and dolly method is going to be the one unless i can 'liberate' a bottle bin.
Many thanks.

That's a gem of a pice of kit, you would last years longer using one of those lol, even a full price it's worth it for the abuse your back would be saved, nice one

With the acces to a welder you can make a bracet for a mixer that woul sit on top of a bin.
