How to Select the Correct Cover for Your Welding Machine

When it comes to protecting your welding equipment, selecting the right cover is crucial. A well-fitted cover can extend thelife of your machine by shielding it from dust, moisture, and other environmental factors. Here at Baker's Gas an Welding, we want to make sure you choose the best cover for your needs. Here's a comprehensive guide to help you pick the perfect cover for your welding machine. 

Check the Machine Spec Sheet or Drop-Down Menu

The easiest way to find the correct cover for your welding machine is by consulting the machine's spec sheet under the "Specifications" tab on each product page, or by using the drop-down menu on our website with the label "Additional Options & Accessories" on the product page of the machine you'd like to purchase. For popular models like the Miller 220, Miller 215, and Lincoln 211, this process is pretty straightforward: 

1. Machine Spec Sheet: Each welding machine comes with a spec sheet that details its dimensions and other pertinent information. This sheet often includes recommendations for compatible accessories, including covers. 

2. Drop-Down Menu: On our website, we have a convenient drop-down menu labeled "Additional Options & Accessories" on each of the product pages. This menu will contain various accessories to go with your machine as well as the correct cover you will need for that machine. Simply find your machine model on our website, click into the product page, and you'll be presented with compatible covers designed to fit your machine perfectly.

Special Considerations for Engine Drives

Engine drives, such as older models or those you're uncertain about, require extra attention. If you're not sure which cover fits your engine drive, give us a call or email us your machine serial number (SN). Our team will verify the best cover for your specific model. 

Running Gear Considerations

If your welding machine is equipped with running gear, it's important to note that there are sometimes special covers designed to accommodate this feature. For instance, the newer Bobcat and Trailblazer models have specific covers that account for the additional bulk of the running gear. 

Explore our special cover for the latest Bobcat machines with running gear, ensuring your machine is fully protected, even with running gear attached. 

The Value of Having a Cover

Investing in a high-quality cover for your welding machine is a smart decision that pays off in several ways:

  • Protection from Elements: A cover shields your machine from dust moisture, and debris, which can cause rust and other damage over time.
  • Durability: By keeping your machine clean and dry, a cover helps maintain its performance and longevity.
  • Cost Savings: Protecting your investment with a cover can save you money on repairs and replacements in the long run.
