Tipping Skip Drain Outlet + Bottom Mesh

Bottom mesh + drain outlet for tipping skips – controlled liquid removal without blockages

This accessory pair transforms a standard tipping skip into a clean and controlled liquid‑handling container. A stainless‑steel bottom mesh sits above the floor and acts as a pre‑filter that captures swarf, chips and other debris before they can clog the outlet. The drain outlet then lets liquids run out in a steady, predictable flow. When you add a drain tap (ordered separately), you can discharge oils, coolants, rainwater and wash water straight into a drum or IBC without raising or tipping the container.

Why drainage matters on a tipping skip

When a skip holds a mixture of solids and liquids, traditional tipping can splash coolant or oil onto the floor and the forklift, increasing slip risk and creating unnecessary clean‑up. With a bottom mesh and a drain outlet, the liquid portion is separated and removed first. Metal chips stay on top of the mesh, the work area stays drier, and the skip can be tipped afterwards with far less mess.

Drain outlet for controlled emptying

The outlet is installed in the bottom of the skip for full drainage. In normal operation, liquid flows by gravity through the outlet to your collection container. Add an optional drain tap to start and stop the flow without tools and to fine‑control the discharge rate. This makes it simple to divert the liquid to a waste oil tank, coolant treatment unit or intermediate container.

The outlet’s galvanized steel bush resists corrosion and common workshop chemicals. The robust construction withstands daily handling, forklift movement and washing without seizing or deforming.

Keep liquids away from hot or sparking chips

By removing liquids first and leaving the chips on top of the mesh, the system helps to keep potentially sparking swarf away from flammable fluids. The separation step also improves chip drying and makes subsequent tipping cleaner and safer for the forklift operator.

Compatibility

The bottom mesh + drain outlet kit fits Ekonomy‑, HD‑ and bottom‑discharge tipping skips. If your operation handles a mix of wet and dry waste, adding this kit turns the skip into a more versatile, cleaner and easier‑to‑service collection point without changing how operators move or tip the container.
