Fable Fire Two-Stage Mini-Highbanker

Most highbankers chain you to the water's edge. The Fable Fire doesn't.

The Fable Fire Two-Stage Mini-Highbanker is built for the creek bank. Set up on solid ground above the waterline, run your material through the highbanker, and let the second sluice run — sitting on the ground directly under the exit — catch everything that comes off the first stage. Gravity does the work. You keep your feet dry.

European-inspired engineering. 100% USA-made. Hand-inspected before it ships.

Built for the Hunt

• Two-stage vertical capture — the second sluice run sits on the ground under the first stage exit. Material drops straight in. On a creek bank, the elevation works for you — not against you.
• Drop-in grizzly bar pre-classification — 16 interchangeable sizes drop in and out in the field. Pre-classify your material before it ever hits the mats.
• Two independent drop-in mat zones — stage one and stage two each take their own drop-in mats. Run the right mat for the right job on each stage.
• Fully configurable in the field — swap grizzly bars, swap mats, run one stage or both. Adapts to the site, not the other way around.
• Field-proven footprint — 27.2" × 9.4" × 21.7" hits the sweet spot between output and packability
• PETG construction — moisture-resistant, high-strength, zero rust, zero excuses
• Pump-agnostic design — run it with any 2" pump, dial in your perfect flow rate
