Are you doing your bit to help protect the planet — or could your yard and the way you look after your horse be greener?
More equestrians are seeking environmentally friendly solutions when it comes to horse care than ever before — and that’s why Red Gorilla’s iconic ‘Rubber Skips’ have evolved to become ‘Rubber Type’.
We started supplying our popular rubber skips to the equine, agricultural and building industries in 1981, and since then the world has changed a lot.
The way tyre rubber is produced and considering what customers now want, using Tyre Rubber as a method of making feed skips, buckets and mangers no longer works and so we as a business have moved on.
‘Revolutionary’ Gorilla Plas®
Our new Gorilla Plas® range — the revolutionary polymer buckets and skips that are just as good as rubber, but clean, lighter and better for the planet, too — has been a huge success.
However, with the more traditional customers in mind who still want that feel of Tyre Rubber, we have been working hard to find an environmentally friendly and non-porous, lightweight, strong yet flexible alternative.
We are proud to introduce to you the Red Gorilla® Rubber Type.

All-new Red Gorilla® Rubber Type
Sustainability remains at the forefront and this new range is produced entirely in the UK. It uses brand new moulds that work efficiently, reducing manufacturing energy consumption and cutting out any unnecessary travel emissions.
This also keeps lead times to an absolute minimum and increases UK employment.
“Sustainability is at the heart of everything we do at Red Gorilla®,” says managing director Dean Cox.
“This new Rubber Type range is not just a product innovation, it’s a step forward in our ongoing missions to reduce environmental impact, support British manufacturing, and build a greener future for the industries we serve.”
Key features
Some key features of the new range include:
- Hardwearing, lightweight and flexible material.
- Reinforced sides for strength and durability.
- Non-porous and 100% non-absorbent.
- Odourless and easy to clean.
- Kinder to the environment.
“The new Rubber Type is the perfect replacement for the Tyre Rubber™, with all the benefits and without the drawbacks,” adds Dean.
“It is a strong, hardwearing, with just the right amount of flexibility, and kinder to the environment.
“We believe the Tyre Rubber fans will appreciate our Rubber Type Skips even more.”
Best solution
Overall, we at Red Gorilla are confident that Rubber Type products are the best solution for all admirers of the original Tyre Rubber range and believe that it will win over the hearts of the equine, agricultural and construction industries just like the original Tyre Rubber did back in 1981.
