Workplace Safety & Ergonomics

Using purpose-built cylinder trucks is essential for complying with HSE manual handling guidelines. These tools do the heavy lifting for you, significantly reducing the risk of musculoskeletal injuries and ensuring that top-heavy cylinders remain stable during transit.

Secure Storage Compliance

Proper storage is just as vital as safe transport. Our ventilated and lockable cylinder storage cages ensure that hazardous materials are kept secure from unauthorised access while allowing for the natural dispersal of any leaked gases, meeting strict UK health & safety regulations.

Durability in Harsh Environments

Our equipment is built to last in demanding industrial settings. Featuring heavy-duty steel construction and weather-resistant finishes, our trucks and cages withstand the elements and the rigours of daily warehouse use.

Explore the Range

We stock a wide variety of solutions to suit different vessel sizes and site requirements:

Single & Double Gas Cylinder Trolleys: Available in various configurations to accommodate different bottle diameters and weights safely.
Static & Mobile Cages: We provide high-security fixed units and folding cylinder cages that can be collapsed to save valuable floor space when not in use.
Cylinder Floor & Wall Racks: Robust, floor- or wall-mounted frames designed to keep cylinders upright and organised in a fixed location. These prevent bottles from tipping and are ideal for manifold systems or stationary gas supplies.

Applications & Use Cases

Healthcare & Laboratories: For the secure transport of medical oxygen and sensitive laboratory gases.
Construction & Welding: Mobile cylinder trucks designed for the rough terrain of building sites and busy workshops.

Industrial Drum and Gas Cylinder Handling: Frequently Asked Questions

Do your gas cylinder trolleys come with safety chains?

Yes, our trolleys are equipped with heavy-duty chains to ensure the cylinder remains upright and secure during movement.

Are the storage cages suitable for outdoor use?

Absolutely. We offer galvanised cylinder storage cages specifically designed to resist rust and corrosion when situated outside.

Can your trolleys accommodate different cylinder diameters?

Many of our cylinder trolleys feature adjustable chains or frames designed to secure a range of bottle sizes, from small medical oxygen tanks to large industrial 'size W' cylinders.

Do I need a specific permit to store gas cylinders in cages?

While a permit isn't always required, you must comply with DSEAR and HSE regulations regarding the separation of flammable gases. Our lockable cages help you meet these security and ventilation requirements.
