Steel Pails – Open Head – 24, 26, 28 and 29 Gauge

We stock open head steel pails in sizes that range from 2 gallon through 6.5 gallon. Our pails come both lined and unlined. Some pails have a UN designation and some are not UN rated. With the exception of our straight sided steel pail, Item #CSCP2-43-01, covers are sold separately. Not all customers need covers with their pails and we want to give you the option of buying the pail only, if that is what you require. In the description area of each pail you will find information on which covers may be used. The pails with a UN designation require specific covers to keep the UN rating valid. With the pails that have no UN rating, any cover may be used.
