COVER ME! Your One-Stop Shop for Replacement Covers & Lids

As if winters weren’t bad enough with the cold, snow and flu, now a snow plow comes along to turn your station’s manhole covers and spill lids into flying saucers or a pile of scrap.  Either way, a sizable hole in the middle of your station’s lot does nobody any good.

But not to worry!

The Kennedy Company STOCKS a wide variety of replacement covers and we can even have them custom-made for those hard to find and/or obsolete manholes and spills.  And just because you can’t find it on our site, doesn’t mean we don’t have it or can’t get it so by all means, please give us a call for those hard to find covers, lids or any of your other service station and refueling location needs!

Tank Sump Retrofit Covers

Okay, so it’s not likely a plow will wipe out tank sump covers underground (that requires a special kinda cowboy behind the wheel of a plow truck!) but winters are tough on all equipment and with so many compliance laws and regulations, containment failures are not an option so check out some of the available retrofit tank sump lids currently on the market.
