Tub Tipper with Lift
The Tub Tipper with Lift is Mikra’s heavy-duty tub emptying solution for fish processing facilities, designed and proven to perform reliably in the demanding environment of saltfish processing plants. Combining the manoeuvrability and operator-friendly controls of the standard Tub Tipper with an integrated lift mechanism for increased tipping height, it delivers safe, efficient, and controlled tub emptying at a greater height, making it particularly well suited to facilities with higher infeed points or elevated production line requirements.
Efficient and safe tub emptying at the right height is a critical part of maintaining smooth production flow in fish processing facilities, where heavy loads, demanding conditions, and varying infeed heights make a flexible and robust solution essential. The Tub Tipper with Lift addresses this directly by combining independent tub collection and transport with a tipping height of 1,260 mm, eliminating the need for a separate forklift to place the tub into the tipper and giving the operator full control throughout every stage of the emptying process.
Built from AISI 316 stainless steel with an IP56 water resistance rating, the Tub Tipper with Lift is designed for long-term, dependable performance in the wet and salty conditions typical of fish processing production floors.
What the Tub Tipper with Lift is used for
The Tub Tipper with Lift is used for the transport and emptying of full tubs at elevated heights in fish processing facilities, where safe, controlled, and efficient tub handling is essential to maintaining production flow and reducing the physical demands placed on operators. The unit is hand-controlled via a control panel on each side, giving the operator full and comfortable control throughout every lifting, tipping, and transport operation.
An audible safety signal is activated during tipping to increase safety awareness on the production floor. The integrated lift mechanism raises the tipping height to 1,260 mm, providing the additional reach needed for facilities with higher infeed points or elevated production line layouts, without compromising on the compact and maneuverable design that makes the Tub Tipper range so practical in demanding processing environments.

Proven in the field
The Tub Tipper with Lift has been developed and proven in the demanding environment of saltfish processing facilities, where robust construction, reliable performance at elevated tipping heights, and safe operator-controlled tub emptying are equally critical to daily production operations. Its AISI 316 construction, high IP56 water resistance rating, and the ability to collect and transport full tubs independently make it a dependable and practical investment for processors requiring greater tipping height without sacrificing the maneuverability and ease of use that define the Tub Tipper range.
Customer experience
Processing facilities using the Tub Tipper with Lift have highlighted the combination of increased tipping height and independent tub collection as key advantages, allowing them to empty tubs directly into elevated infeed points without requiring a forklift to load the tipper. The audible safety signal during tipping and the hand-controlled panels on each side have been valued for the ease of use and increased safety awareness they provide throughout daily production operations in demanding processing environments.
