5 Gallon Open‑Head Steel Pails With Lid And Lever Locking Ring

1. Product Overview

The 5‑gallon black open‑head steel pail is a heavy‑duty industrial metal container with a full‑open top, complete with a steel disc lid and a galvanized lever‑locking ring closure. With a nominal capacity of 5 gallons (approx. 18.9 L), it is widely used for storing, mixing and transporting liquids, pastes, semi‑solids and solid materials in industrial scenarios. The open‑head design offers full interior access for filling, scooping and pouring, while the lever‑lock ring enables repeated opening and tight resealing without special tools.

Main Construction & Materials

Body & Lid: Fabricated from high‑strength carbon steel (24‑28 gauge options). Exterior finished in glossy black paint for scratch and corrosion resistance.

Interior: Available in unlined with rust‑inhibitor primer, phenolic lining or epoxy lining to adapt to different chemical contents.

Lever Locking Ring: Metal clamp ring fitted with rubber gasket. Simply flip the lever to fasten or release, achieving reliable leak‑proof sealing; reusable for multiple cycles.

Carrying Handle: Swing‑type metal bail handle with plastic grip for comfortable lifting and carrying.

**Reinforced rolling hoops on the pail body improve pressure‑resistance and impact performance during shipping and stacking.

Key Features

Tool‑free operation: The lever‑locking ring allows quick manual opening and closing, saving labor compared with crimp‑style lug lids.

Robust sealing: Rubber gasket between lid and ring prevents leakage, splash and dust ingress during transit and storage.

Excellent mechanical performance: Steel construction resists impact, high temperature and pressure, far stronger than plastic pails for heavy‑duty industrial useAlibaba.co....

Large open mouth: Convenient for filling, stirring, scooping viscous materials such as grease and adhesive that cannot be dispensed through small bung holes.

Optional UN certification: Qualified versions meet UN transport standards for selected hazardous goods shipments.

**Reusable container: Durable structure supports repeated use and recycling.

Typical Applications

Suitable for packaging paints, coatings, inks, adhesives, greases, lubricants, industrial chemicals, powders and other non‑food industrial productsMade-in-Ch.... Common scenarios include factory production, workshop storage, on‑site mixing, and bulk logistics transportation.

Notes

Unlined rust‑inhibitor interior only offers temporary anti‑rust protection for short‑term storage. For long‑term storage or corrosive contents, select phenolic or epoxy‑lined versions.

Check UN rating compliance before packing hazardous substances.
