plastic sink

[ILuvCowparsely]

A few years ago I saw a raised - free standing sink with plug hole, in but cannot find them anywhere now. they were made out the same material and mangers are a hard plastic. was about 2 feet long by 1 ft wide. ANyone know?? its so back breaking bending over cleaning feed bowls. The only other think I thought of was a planter but no plug hole https://www.amazon.co.uk/Elho-Green...ywords=plastic+planter&qid=1617298135&sr=8-25

We've got a freestanding camping sink that looks similar ?

Google dairy wash troughs.

OH bought an old free standing catering sink/draining board to wash sprayer bottles out with. It’s ideal, no idea what it cost though.

Seems a bit of an overkill for feed buckets though?
I have amazing water pressure admittedly but a blast round with the hose does the job.

You can easily cut a plughole in plastic like that, and get pipe fittings to run a tube from the plug hole down towards the ground (water falling straight from the plughole would splash a lot). But I wonder if the bottom of that planter might be a bit low, and have you stooping to reach anything that falls to the bottom.

You could get a wall-mounted sink with tap, and fit it at exactly the right comfortable height. A bit more expensive (£50 to £80), though, and not portable.

Not when you have , Piriformis syndrome and have bad back and have to bend down to ground level and clean/scrub 14 buckets. Want some thing mobile and only bring out when cleaning mangers and buckets.

Cannot have wall mounted as the washing area is in the gangway where horse boxes travel up along with caravans and washing horses and cars going up ( vehicles would knock it of wall. Our water pressure is now crap, and water board wont change it.

Wish I bought the one I saw a few years back as hand plug hole and everything in it and was for washing feedbowls.

Barbecue shops often sell barbecues that can be either set into masonry or mounted on a kind of cart. The cart has a rectangular frame to receive the cast iron or sheet steel barbecue grill.

I think you could get one of those carts and fit a cheap kitchen sink with draining track into it.

Ah ok. Sorry.
when my daughter was at nursery they had a mobile sink on wheels with a water bottle under that pumped up. I’ve no idea what it would be called but someone else might? *it may be too small

This throws up several interesting objects.

There are folding plastic sinks that look like shopping baskets; one of these placed on a table of the appropriate height might work.

There is a plastic sink mounted on a pedestal with five-arm base with coasters like an office chair; it's meant for hairdressers, so the shape is a bit odd for washing buckets, but it might work.

My earlier idea was to mount something like a standard plastic, resin or stainless steel sink onto a barbecue trolley.

Something like this:

Most things I find either have a too small trough/sink, and/or is only portable as in foldable or liftable but no wheels, or comes with fixed faucets not intended for bucket washing.

But Husqvarna makes a portable battery powered water tank. Invented to be used attached to various dust creating tools, but has an ordinary Gardena hose fitting, and can also be used to clean tools, and buckets, on work sites.

I was thinking that if you found a portable outdoor sink meant to be attached to a garden hose, you should just as easily be able to attach it to a Husqvarna battery powered water tank, or something similar. Note the Husqvarna is not a high pressure hose, but if you only have low pressure with the current water anyway, I thought it maybe could be worth mentioning.
Or perhaps you could attach such a sink to a garden hand pump pressure sprayer, like this one

If you're able to do some DIY, or know someone that could help, I've seen good examples of DIY outdoor sinks on Pinterest, which resembles Keith_Beef's suggestion above.
Some have used outdoor serving carts similar to the following three, and either cut holes in the top shelf, or removed it, and instead inserted a trough/sink.

Ideas from Pinterest:

One of the things I found, with a fixed faucet which I'm not sure how well/badly it would work to clean buckets with, but on wheels, and with large-ish sink area (on a site from USA, but if interested, perhaps you can find it somewhere closer): https://www.tidohome.com/products/portable-sink-camping-sink
