Lifetime 189 Litre Single Composter Tumbler with Locking Spring Pin, Model 60076
Lifetime 189 Litre Single Composter
The Lifetime 60076 is a 189 litre compost tumbler for households with a modest garden who want rich compost without a soggy heap behind the shed. Its enclosed drum turns on its axis with one easy spin, an internal aeration bar mixes the contents, and dark double-wall panels hold heat to speed things up. A spring-loaded pin locks the drum still while you tip in scraps and clippings.
Better Than a Static Bin
Static plastic bins rely on you digging in with a fork, and the middle of the pile rarely gets the oxygen it needs, so decomposition stalls and smells. This tumbler changes the routine. The non-cylindrical HDPE drum rotates in a balanced way, the internal aeration bar breaks up clumps and introduces air, and the dark double-wall construction absorbs and retains warmth. Heavy duty UV-protected panels resist sun damage, while a powder coated steel frame with galvanised base keeps the 20 kg unit sturdy yet light enough to reposition.
Small Details That Matter
- Spring-Loaded Locking Pin: Holds the drum steady during filling, so it does not swing while the lid is open.
- Extra Large Removable Lid: Gives a wide opening for loading peelings and emptying finished compost into a barrow.
- UV-Protected HDPE Panels: Resist sun damage on an exposed plot, keeping the drum sound season after season.
- Galvanised Steel Base: Adds strength and stability without making the tumbler awkward to move around the garden.

FAQs
Q: Is it sturdy enough to turn when it is full?
A: Yes. The balanced, non-cylindrical drum rotates on its axis and sits on a powder coated steel frame with a galvanised steel base. That keeps the turning action smooth and controlled even when the 189 litre drum is well loaded.
Q: Can I stop the drum moving while I fill it?
A: Yes. The spring-loaded pin locks rotation, so the drum stays put with the extra large lid open while you tip in kitchen scraps or clippings. Pull the pin out again when you are ready to turn it.
Q: When can I expect delivery?
A: We pack your order quickly and pass it to a dependable courier service. Rapid mainland delivery follows, and you receive tracking information by email once the parcel is on its way to you.
