BearClaw Heavy Duty Hinges for 1,000 Gallon Tanks, Weld-On give fabricators the strength and control they need when building large smokers and industrial tank systems. When you’re working with a 1,000‑gallon tank, every component matters. Because of that, these hinges are engineered to handle extreme lid weight, repeated heat cycles, and constant daily use without twisting, binding, or wearing out.

To start, each hinge is cut from thick, high‑quality steel. This gives you a solid foundation before you even strike your first arc. Since these hinges are weld‑on, you gain a permanent connection that won’t loosen over time. As a result, your lid stays aligned, stable, and easy to operate. The oversized BearClaw profile also increases weld surface area, which improves torque resistance and overall durability.

As you move through your build, you’ll notice how easily these hinges position and weld. Their geometry helps the lid open smoothly, even when the tank is fully outfitted with handles, trim, counterweights, or accessories. Because of this, they’re a favorite among professional pit builders, fabrication shops, and OEM manufacturers who need components that perform consistently.

Built for 1,000 Gallon Tanks

Lids on 1,000‑gallon tanks are heavy, and they often become even heavier once you add finishing touches. That’s exactly why these hinges exist. They support massive loads while still allowing controlled, predictable movement. With this hinge set, you can build confidently, knowing your lid will operate the way you intended.

Designed for Fabricators

These hinges arrive ready for welding, grinding, and finishing. You can coat them with powder, high‑temp paint, ceramic finishes, or any other protective layer you prefer. Because they’re weld‑on, you can place them exactly where you want them, which helps you dial in perfect lid alignment.
