Heavy Duty Mounted Rubber Feed Bucket - 16 Litre Capacity - Solid Rubber Mounting Bracket - Crush-Proof Design

Heavy Duty Mounted Rubber Feed Bucket - 16 Litre - Integrated Rail Mount

The 16 Litre Mounted Feed Bucket provides a secure and durable feeding or watering solution for stables, yards, and pens. Crafted from high-density heavy-duty rubber, this bucket is highly flexible, making it virtually crush-proof and kick-proof. Unlike rigid plastic alternatives, it can withstand the significant wear and tear of livestock use without cracking or splintering, ensuring a safer environment for your animals.

The standout feature is the solid rubber mounting bracket, which is specifically designed to fit securely over rails, fences, or stall walls. This prevents the bucket from being tipped, dropped, or moved by animals, significantly reducing feed waste and mess. With a practical 16-litre capacity and a wide-access top, this bucket offers a stable, long-lasting, and hygienic feeding point for horses, cattle, and other livestock.

Best For: Stable managers, farmers, and pet owners requiring a highly durable, fixed-position bucket that prevents spillage and resists damage from enthusiastic or heavy-handed animals.

Key Features:

• Solid Rubber Mounting Bracket: Engineered to securely hook over standard rails, fences, or stall dividers to prevent tipping and wasted feed.
• Indestructible Heavy-Duty Rubber: The flexible, high-grip material is kick-proof and crush-proof, offering a vastly superior lifespan compared to brittle plastic buckets.
• 16 Litre Capacity: Perfectly sized for a generous serving of hard feed, chaff, or water for horses, calves, sheep, and large dogs.
• Wide-Access Design: The 38cm x 24cm top provides easy access for livestock while maintaining a stable profile when mounted.
• Weather Resistant: Designed to withstand UV exposure and temperature extremes without degrading, making it ideal for both indoor stalls and outdoor yards.

Specifications:

Ideal For:

• Stable Feeding: Creating a fixed, safe feeding station inside horse stalls.
• Yard & Paddock Use: Securing supplementary water or feed to fence rails in cattle or sheep yards.
• Kennel Management: Providing a stable water source for large dogs who may otherwise tip over standard bowls.
• Mobile Feeding: Easily moved between different yards or transport trailers as needed.

Maintenance Tip: To maintain hygiene, regularly rinse the bucket with fresh water. The smooth rubber surface allows for easy cleaning; however, for stubborn residue, a soft brush and mild eco-friendly detergent are recommended.

Oversized Item Delivery Options

Oversized, heavy, and structural goods ship via specialist freight. Freight is calculated at checkout from estimated packaged volumetric or physical weight. Carrier depot audits may adjust the rate — if the increase exceeds 10%, we will contact you before processing.

Available options include:

✔ Delivery to your closest depot for pickup — default method
✔ Direct delivery — requires an operational forklift on site unless Tailgate Delivery has been specifically requested and quoted (contact us — this cannot be selected at checkout)
✔ Tailgate hydraulic lift delivery — must be specifically requested; contact us for a quote (not available as a checkout option; extra fees apply; required if you do not have a forklift)
✔ Forklift loading at our warehouse (no extra charge if you arrange your own freight)
✔ Direct truck delivery (available in Victoria)

Important Notes:

• Shipping costs vary by location and method
• Any carton or consignment over 25–30kg (or over 200cm) must be palletised
• Without a specifically requested and paid Tailgate Delivery quote, palletised freight requires a forklift on site — otherwise the carrier will redirect to the nearest depot
• Bulky and oversized items cannot be delivered to a PO Box — provide a physical street address
• Failed deliveries, locked gates, unattended sites, or incorrect business/forklift declarations may incur carrier redelivery, demurrage, and restocking fees as set out in our Terms & Conditions

Business Delivery:

• Selecting a business/commercial delivery rate warrants that the address has an operational forklift and certified operator during business hours
• If the carrier cannot unload, the consignment may be redirected to a depot and secondary fees may apply
• Additional fees may apply for failed delivery attempts due to lack of appropriate unloading equipment

See our Terms & Conditions (Article 8) for full freight and delivery rules.

Important Note on Availability & Shipping

Our warehouse is a logistics hub, not a retail showroom. Listing a product online does not mean it is stored at our Thomastown warehouse — many lines ship from supplier hubs (split fulfilment may apply).

How lead times work:

• Product page ETA: The Estimated Time of Arrival (ETA) / lead-time badge shown on the product page at checkout is the agreed delivery timeframe for that order under Australian Consumer Law.
• Metro baselines: Advertised ETAs apply to standard metropolitan zones. Regional and remote addresses may take longer and may attract surcharges.
• Peak seasons: Orders in March–May, August–October, EOFY (June), Black Friday/Cyber Monday (November), and Christmas/New Year (December–January) may automatically add a 2–4 week buffer beyond the product page ETA.
• Supplier-dependent / backordered items: If stock is delayed, we will notify you with a revised ETA. You then have 7 days to accept the new timeframe or cancel for a full refund.
• Adloheat: Custom-made products from Adloheat (Pakenham, VIC) may take 4–12 weeks depending on the order.

Full fulfilment, cancellation, and freight rules are in our Terms & Conditions.

Due to strict state biosecurity regulations, we are unable to ship some products to certain states and territories:
