If you’ve recently searched for Jescraft, you may have seen that they are no longer in operation. For contractors and crews who relied on their washout pans and mortar tubs, that leaves a gap when it comes to sourcing dependable jobsite equipment.
Bear Iron Works helps fill that gap with heavy-duty washout tubs designed for real-world use. If you’re looking for a reliable replacement for Jescraft washout pans—or a practical alternative for mortar tub applications—we offer straightforward, durable solutions that hold up on active jobsites.

Washout Pan
Alternatives to Jescraft
If your crew previously used Jescraft washout pans, the goal isn’t to change your workflow—it’s to find something that performs reliably without slowing you down.

Concrete washout containment is a required part of many jobs, and the equipment needs to be reliable, easy to handle, and built to last. Bear Iron’s washout tubs are designed with that in mind.
Each unit is built from heavy-duty steel and made to withstand repeated use in demanding conditions. They’re easy to place, simple to manage on-site, and built to support proper concrete washout practices without unnecessary complexity. Whether you’re working on residential builds or larger commercial projects, having dependable washout containment helps keep the job moving and avoids unnecessary issues.

A Practical Alternative to Jescraft Mortar Tubs
While many contractors used Jescraft mortar tubs for mixing and handling materials, Bear Iron’s washout tubs offer a durable, multi-purpose alternative for similar jobsite needs.
Built from heavy-duty steel, these tubs are designed to handle tough conditions and repeated use. In addition to concrete washout containment, they can be used for mixing mortar, transporting materials, and supporting a variety of day-to-day jobsite tasks.
For crews looking to simplify equipment and rely on fewer, more durable pieces, this type of versatility can be a practical advantage.


Additional Jobsite Equipment
While many contractors are specifically looking to replace Jescraft washout pans or mortar tubs, Bear Iron Works also manufactures other jobsite equipment designed for durability and everyday use. This includes bedding boxes, grizzly rock screens, and other material handling solutions built with the same contractor-focused approach.
If you’re sourcing multiple types of equipment or looking to standardize across your jobsites, our team can help you find the right fit.
