Gas Cylinder Truck

Product Code: CTS01

Handle heavy gas cylinders and canisters safely and easily with this Gas Cylinder Hand Truck. Constructed in 304-grade stainless steel the ergonomic design solves all the problems associated with older-style two and four wheeled cylinder trucks.

The operator simply pushes the cylinder forward slightly, and then pushes the truck towards the cylinder. This is done very easily because the truck has two small front wheels that allow it to move forward even when it is vertical; the operator then pulls back on the cylinder until the truck is on all four wheels. The effort required to load and unload cylinders is a maximum of 33 pounds.

The operator secures the safety chain around the cylinder, the truck can then be wheeled around. The operator does not have to support the load at all as the hand truck spreads the load evenly. If the operator wants to climb a kerb/step with the Gas Cylinder Hand Truck they simply push back on the handles to raise the front wheels.
