Gas Cages at Engweld
As an essential Health & Safety Executive (HSE) requirement, Gas cylinder cages, also known as gas bottle cages, are commonly used in industrial settings, such as factories, warehouses, and construction sites, where large quantities of gas are used and stored. Gas cylinder cage enclosures provide clear labels and warnings to alert workers, and members of the public to the presence of gas, whilst our range of cylinder wall brackets help keep the gas cylinders firmly upright and secured to the wall.
Our gas cylinder storage cages are formed of strong, robust metal, featuring a unique modular bolt-together design using individual galvanised panels, making them quick and easy to erect and dismantle while also resistant to theft, vandalism and weather-durable.
When selecting a gas cage for your site, some factors consider the size and number of gas cylinders needed, the type of gas being stored, and the location where the cage will be installed. We offer gas cylinder cages and wall brackets to suit multiple applications and workplace settings.
To get started with gas welding, ensure you have the correct equipment, including a gas welding torch, a gas hose to connect the torch to the gas supply, and a regulator to control gas flow. You can view all of our Gas Equipment here.
Before operating any gas or welding equipment, ensure that you wear the appropriate PPE and safety gear, including a welding helmet, gloves, and protective clothing. You can find our Protection & Safety gear here.
Why do you need gas cages?
Gas cages are primarily designed to prevent theft and vandalism so that no members of the public can access or potentially tamper with the gas cylinders. However, incorrect storage or improper use of gas cylinders can lead to gas ruptures, leaks and possible explosions, resulting in serious injury and extreme damage to buildings, equipment, and other products. Therefore, gas bottle cages are essential to your welding safety equipment on-site.
Where should you store a gas cage?
When creating a safe and secure storage location with gas cages, ensure good ventilation so any gas leaks can disperse. Avoid keeping the cage and cylinders next to heat sources, dry vegetation, combustible materials or water.
Is it safe to store gas cylinders in gas cages?
Gas cylinder storage cages are a HSE requirement for any business storing gas cylinders on commercial premises which allow public access. Ideally, the cylinders should be kept outside in a solid cage that allows ventilation and protects the cylinders from theft.
Engweld provides the complete solution for your gas cylinders. Along with gas cylinder cages, Engweld also sells single and twin-gas cylinder trolleys for oxygen, acetylene or propane gases. See our range of gas cylinder trolleys.
