5 Gallon Open‑Head Steel Pail With Lever Lock Ring Lids

1. Product Overview

The 5 Gallon (20L) Open‑Head Steel Pail adopts a practical lever lock ring (clamp‑ring) closure structure, widely recognized as a classic industrial metal packaging container for global trade. Fabricated from high‑quality cold‑rolled steel sheet with reinforced circumferential ribs on the barrel wall, this pail delivers outstanding mechanical strength, anti‑drop performance and stacking stability. The complete‑removable lid with rubber sealing gasket enables tool‑free opening and repeated sealing. Multiple inner‑coating options are available to satisfy general‑industrial, mildly corrosive, and food‑contact requirements. Custom printing for logos and shipping marks is supported for branding purposes.
