ADJUSTABLE 
HINGE KITS

The design is simple by intention. Operators can switch between Lay Flat and Non-Lay Flat configurations in the field without any special tools or equipment. Moving the pins to the lower eye bolt holes sets the cover for Lay Flat operation, while the upper holes set it for Non-Lay Flat. The same hinge works across Hydrant, Low Point, and High Point pits, so one solution covers your entire fueling system.

THE 4MF MISSION

Built to meet and evolve with industry standards

4MF designs American-engineered fuel pit covers and assemblies built for the changing demands of aircraft fueling systems. From lay-flat cover requirements to replaceable stainless steel flanges and configurable pit assemblies, our products help teams reduce field labor, limit downtime, and keep critical fueling infrastructure moving.

Our patent-pending adjustable hinge technology allows compatible covers to shift between lay-flat and non-lay-flat configurations without special tools or equipment. It is a simpler, more robust, adaptable path forward for airport operators, designers, and fuel consortiums preparing for the next generation of airfield fueling standards.

Customer testimonials

"The biggest benefit has been how quickly the order was fulfilled. Customer service has been good and the pricing is within means. I'd recommend 4MF to another airport or fueling operator."
General Manager,
"It's been great. We got a few lids and they fit right in place, no problem at all. The installation was simple and easy. I was expecting a long lead time, but it didn't take hardly any time to get in, so I was very pleased with that. I'd rate the overall quality a 10 out of 10."
General Manager,
"The installation was simple, just three bolts and a couple of safety locks. Communication was very good throughout, and we're very pleased with it."

FAQs

Find quick answers about retrofit options, lay-flat requirements, demo covers, and technical support.

Do I need to replace my entire pit?

No. Most existing installations can be retrofitted without major modifications.

What's the difference between lay-flat and non-lay-flat?

The hinge pin location determines the opening angle — simply move the pins to change configurations.

Will I need special tools or training?

No. The conversion process uses standard components and takes minutes to complete.
