Pails vs. Buckets
Believe it or not, there is a difference between a pail and a bucket. Our wide range of buckets and pails allow you to choose the right style for your needs. With countless uses, these containers are great due to their versatility. Our steel pails are a popular choice in the manufacturing, construction, and agriculture industries. Plastic pails, with bright color options, are a must-have for color coordination systems. After their initial use, pails and buckets can be reutilized for countless other needs, making them cost-effective, long-lasting resources. A 5 gallon bucket in a garden can take your planting to the next level. If you’re still stuck between a steel or plastic bucket, remember the dimensions of the two are different.

What kind of closures are compatible with open head steel pails?
Because open head steel pails are containers with removable lids, The Cary Company offers cover types including lug (crimped) and dish (lever lock ring).
How many cubic feet in a 5 gallon pail?
The simple conversion of measurement of 5 gallons is 0.803 cubic feet. However, this is for the nominal capacity of the pail. The actual (overflow) capacity of a pail can vary from model to model. To calculate the full volume in cubic feet, for cylinder pails, you need to multiply π (3.14) x the pail radius (in feet) x the pail height (in feet). To calculate the volume for square pails, multiply the pail's length x width x height (in feet).
What kind of accessories do you offer for open head steel pails?
The Cary Company offers various accessories such as tops, closing/opening tools, linings, heaters, and pumps for your open head steel pail.
