Parts & Accessories

Two accessory families

This department holds the parts that turn a container into a working system. They fall into two groups, each tied to a container family elsewhere in the catalog.

Why fit comes before price

An accessory that almost fits is often worse than none. A hose adapter with the wrong thread leaks or will not seat. A lid that matches the footprint but not the rim profile slides off in transit or will not stack. Two containers that look alike can use different valves, rims or locating features, so every accessory here is matched to the actual container rather than to a nominal size.

How to measure for accessories

IBC valves and outlets

Photograph the valve from the front and side. Note the valve type, measure the outside diameter of the outlet thread and count the threads over a set length if you can. Record any markings on the valve body. A thread gauge removes guesswork; without one, clear photos with a tape measure in frame help.

IBC tote size for covers

Measure the overall length, width and height of the tote, including the cage. If the totes in your fleet are mixed, list each size and how many of each.

Bulk container lids and caps

Find the maker and model on the container label or molded into the wall. Measure the outside rim length and width and photograph the rim profile and any corner or locating features. Note whether the lid must stack with loaded containers on top.

Covers, adapters and lids in daily use

Each accessory solves a specific problem in the field. Covers are added when totes sit outdoors or when the contents should be kept out of direct light; they matter most for totes staged at farms, nurseries and job sites for long periods. Hose adapters convert a tote's discharge valve to a common garden hose connection so water and other compatible liquids can be drawn off without a pump or custom plumbing. Check that the adapter material suits what the tote holds.

Lids and top caps protect contents from dust and weather, keep loads from shifting in transit and give a flat surface for stacking. In closed-loop programs, lids go missing faster than containers, so many fleets carry spare lids for each container model. When a container fleet is mixed, keep a simple record of which lid fits which model; it makes reordering faster and avoids the mismatch that happens when two similar footprints are treated as interchangeable.

Accessories are also a common add-on for resellers who sell totes or bulk containers onward, since a ready-to-use unit is easier to move than a bare container.

Buying accessories for a fleet

Accessories are often ordered for a whole fleet at once rather than one at a time. For fleet orders, group your request by container model, so each group gets the correct part. If your fleet is mixed, say which containers will get each accessory. For new Monoflo top caps, minimums vary by product and condition, and factory items often carry higher minimums than used or reconditioned lids.

Procurement checklist

• Container type, maker and model for each accessory group.
• Measurements and photos of the connection, rim or tote.
• Contents and intended use, so material compatibility can be considered.
• Condition preference for lids: used or reconditioned; new for top caps.
• Quantity per container model.
• Delivery ZIP or pickup preference, and whether the accessories ship with containers.

Common applications

• Adding covers to totes stored outdoors at farms, nurseries and job sites.
• Connecting tote outlets to garden hoses for irrigation, washdown or transfer.
• Replacing lost or damaged lids on a working bulk container fleet.
• Completing new container or pallet systems with matching top caps.
• Resellers bundling accessories with tote and container lots.

Request pricing on parts and accessories

Send the accessory type, the container it must fit, measurements or photos, condition preference, quantity and delivery ZIP through request a quote, or call 855-964-2534. Fit and availability are confirmed in the quote. Accessories can ship with container orders or on their own; LTL freight is quoted to your ZIP and pickup can be arranged at our Pennsville, NJ and Tampa, FL yards for eligible items.
