Gas cylinder trolleys, also known as gas cylinder carts or gas cylinder dollies, are specialised carts or wheeled devices designed to transport and handle gas cylinders safely and efficiently. We also sell a range of gas cylinder wall brackets suitable to secure gas cylinders/bottles.
Gas cylinders are heavy, handle them with care. If you are moving large cylinders, use a cylinder trolley, or seek help. Take care when handling. Close the valve before moving the cylinder. Do not drop cylinders. Never try to catch a falling cylinder.
Use appropriate protective equipment. It is recommended that eyes, hands, and feet are protected when handling or using cylinders.
Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) are the most common occupational illness in Great Britain; affecting 1.1 million people a year. An estimated 12.3 million working days are lost annually to work-related MSDs.
Gas cylinders are generally heavy and are relatively unstable due to the base diameter-to-height ratio. Large cylinders can weigh over 100kg when full and being tall and thin they are easily toppled over. This TIS has been produced to help users of large gas cylinders to handle them in a safe manner
Cylinders are heavy and should be handled with care. Cylinders should not be dropped or subjected to impact when being moved or used.
To handle cylinders safely you will need specific training in safe handling techniques. Speak to your employer or gas supplier for further information on training that may be available. Assess the risk before lifting or moving the cylinder.
If there are 5 or more employees in your organisation, the law requires that a formal manual handling risk assessment be undertaken and the significant findings recorded. This will identify the specific precautions to take when moving the cylinders in your workplace.
Ensure that you know the weight of the cylinder being handled. Check how far and over what type of surface the cylinder is to be moved. You should clear away any obstructions and debris on the route. Ensure that you know where you want to put the cylinder before you start to move it.
If the cylinder is to be moved for a distance greater than a few meters, consider using a suitable gas cylinder trolley or other means of transport.
