Lids and Covers for Open Top Tanks

Lids and Covers for Open-Top Plastic Tanks

Planning to purchase an open-top tank and want to protect its contents? The lid must be selected when ordering the tank.

Agrico Plastics offers compatible lids for selected vertical open-top tanks and open-top cone-bottom tanks. Each lid is designed for a specific tank model and must be selected directly on the tank's product detail page.

Important: These lids are not sold separately and cannot be added after purchasing the tank. Their manufacturing or installation is arranged by the manufacturer before delivery.

What Types of Tank Lids Are Available?

Dust Covers

Dust covers are molded at the same time as the tank. They cover the opening to help limit the entry of dust, debris and other contaminants from the surrounding environment.

They must be selected when ordering the tank because they cannot be added after manufacturing.

Each lid is designed for its corresponding tank model. These covers are not interchangeable.

Partially Welded Lids With Hinged Sections

Some open-top tanks can be ordered with a lid featuring a fixed section welded to the tank and a hinged section fitted with stainless steel hinges.

Unlike dust covers, these lids are added after the tank is molded and then welded to the tank by the manufacturer before delivery.

This configuration consists of approximately:

• Two-thirds of the surface covered by a fixed section.
• One-third forming a hinged section that provides access to the contents.

This design makes it easier to access the tank without removing the entire lid.

Because the lid is welded to the tank, it must be ordered together with the tank. It cannot be added after delivery.

Which Tanks Can Be Equipped With a Lid?

The lids in this category are available for selected OT series vertical open-top tanks and CBO series open-top cone-bottom tanks.

Availability and lid configuration depend on the selected tank model. Compatible options are displayed directly on the tank's product detail page.

Why Must the Lid Be Selected When Ordering?

Both configurations must be selected before delivery, but for different manufacturing reasons:

A lid designed to help keep debris out should not automatically be considered a watertight closure or suitable for pressurized applications.

How Do I Order an Open-Top Tank With a Lid?

1. Select your vertical open-top tank or open-top cone-bottom tank.
2. Review the available options on its product detail page.
3. Select the compatible lid before adding the tank to your quote or shopping cart.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I purchase a lid separately after receiving my tank?

No. The lids in this category must be ordered with their compatible tanks. They are not sold separately.

What is the difference between a dust cover and a hinged lid?

A dust cover is molded at the same time as the tank. A hinged lid is added after molding and welded to the tank by the manufacturer. Its hinged section makes accessing the contents easier.

Can all open-top tanks be fitted with a lid?

No. Availability depends on the model. Compatible lids are listed on each tank's product detail page.

Are these lids watertight?

Do not assume that a dust cover or hinged lid provides a watertight seal. Its function and specifications must be verified for the selected model.

Can I select a lid after receiving the tank?

No. The lid must be selected when ordering because the manufacturer must complete the molding or welding before delivery.
