Machinery Covers That Protect
ALCO incorporates your plans and measurements to fabricate a cover that will seamlessly align with your machine dimensions. Custom made machinery covers aid in safeguarding stored equipment and machinery from elements such as dust, weather effects, and intrusive viewing.
Inform us on where the machine is stationed and the manner of removing the cover. These specifics will assist us in selecting the appropriate material and fit.
- A fit based on your machine’s size and shape
- Cover designs for business and industrial equipment
- Material choices for indoor or outdoor storage
- Access and fastening options to suit your site
Browse our page on custom made covers for information on covers for other shapes and equipment.
Plan The Fit And Access
To properly utilize the cover, it must perfectly fit the machine and adapt to your storage routine. Present to us the protruding components that extend outside its main framework.
- Access: Ask about zippers for panels you need to reach.
- Fastening: Discuss hook-and-loop closures, snaps, grommets, or ties.
- Openings: Mark cords, pipes, outlets, and fixed connections on your sketch.
- Branding: Ask about adding your company name or logo.
If the need is for an expanded storage, visit our page on custom storage and equipment covers.
Make sure to turn the machine off and allow it to cool before covering it. Prior to running the machine again, remove the cover.
Common Applications
CNC And Machine Shop Equipment
In your plans, add the control panels, tool trays, and other parts that protrude. Indicate their placement on your drawing so the cover clears them. Determine an unobstructed path to lift the cover off prior to each use.
Packaging Line Equipment
This type of machinery may have several height measurements and fixed supports. In your sketch, indicate each shape change. Inform us about the parts that remain connected and the location where you need access during storage.
Air Compressors
Point out the gauges, valves, wheels, and hose connections that are set outside the main form of the tank. Inform us if the hoses remain connected when in storage. Ensure that the compressor is turned off and allowed to cool before using the cover.
Pump And Motor Assemblies
It is hard to fit even a simple cover over pipe outlets and cables. When submitting photos, capture each fixed connection. Verify whether the pipes remain affixed and also indicate which openings need to be covered prior to ordering.
Spare Equipment In Storage
A spare equipment that is in storage may have an odd shape or is set on a skid. Incorporate the entire storage profile and indicate how it is shifted. Inquire about labeling the equipment to help staff identify it.
Printing And Finishing Machines
Incorporate feed trays, rollers, and output shelves in your machine’s dimensions. Indicate the parts that stay in place during storage. Make an outline on how you will maintain and put it aside while working. Woodworking Machines
Woodworking Machines
When in storage, measure saw tables, guides, and any peripheral extensions. Plan where the cover will move between shifts. Select the fit that can be conveniently removed without snagging on sharp edges.
Generators And Power Equipment
When storage is outdoor, consider the elements such as rain and wind. Consult on how to secure the cover in place. Provide space for a safe removal path. Best practice is to allow the equipment to cool before covering and detach the cover prior to operation.

Common Machinery Cover Questions
What Do You Need For A Quote?
Submit the machine’s measurements of its width, depth, and height, together with photos from every angle. Inform us of its storage location and which pipes, cables, or trays remain affixed.
Can I Cover A Machine With An Odd Shape?
The cover can be customized to follow shapes that go further than a standard box. Indicate every step, extension, and stationary connection in a drawing. Verify with ALCO the complete cover shape prior to ordering.
Can I Reach A Panel Without Taking The Cover Off?
Inquire about an opening or zipper that is reachable on the panel. Note down its size and position. Utilize access openings for equipment in storage. Remove the cover before operating the machine.
Which Fasteners Should I Choose?
Consult us on hook-and-loop closures, snaps, grommets, or ties based on where the cover rests and the frequency of removal. In case of storage that is outdoor, validate how the cover will be secured.
How Do I Choose The Material?
Begin in determining if the storage is indoor or outdoor. Assess the elements such as dust or weather, and the intervals in handling the cover. Inquire with ALCO for confirmation on the fabric, seam details, and care requirements for your quote.
What Warranty Applies?
Machinery covers made from 18 oz. vinyl have a lifetime warranty, and 12 oz. vinyl covers have a 10-year warranty. Request for the documented coverage, exclusions and claim procedures with your quote.
Can The Machine Run Under The Cover?
The covers are ideally used when the equipment or machine is in storage. Turn off the machine and allow it to cool before putting on the cover. Prior to operation, remove the cover and comply with the machine manufacturer’s guidelines.
