Moving heavy mineral tubs doesn’t have to be a chore. In this educational video, the Riomax® team walks through 8 practical, ranch-tested ways to move, lift, and haul tubs—whether you’re using a side-by-side, pickup, ATV, bale deck, or just a bit of old-fashioned ingenuity.
From DIY sleds made of scrap metal… to old truck tires… to ratchet-strap hacks anyone can build, you’ll see real setups ranchers across North America use every day to make tub handling easier, safer, and faster.
If you run lick tubs, protein tubs, mineral tubs, or any self-fed supplement, these tricks can save you time, save your back, and keep your operation running smoothly.
