In this category you will find a collection of gas bottle trolleys which are used to transport both full and empty bottles around the workplace as well as a range of solutions for gas cylinder storage. You will also see a great collection of gas bottle lifting bags which are the latest, innovative method of lifting and moving gas bottles in the most difficult areas. Cylinder lifting solutions include lift able trolleys and stands. Another product to help with manually handling a gas cylinder is the gas grab lifting bracket which has a couple of handles and fits around the bottle to enable handling with less skeletal and muscular stress.
Gas bottles come in wide array of sizes depending on how much gas you need. Common gas cylinder sizes range from 6 litres up to 80 litres and the size and weight difference is quite substantial in fact he height difference could be around a metre or more. Then there is the diameter or circumference to consider. Whichever way you look at it, the larger the gas bottle the harder it will be to handle.
It is imperative that you adhere to all the necessary regulations when it comes to handling gas cylinders. HSE has a number of related articles and Liquid Gas UK has the latest updates.
One of the newer ways to lift and load gas bottles is with a purpose made lifting bag. They are very strong and come in a range of sizes to suit a range of gas bottle sizes up to 80 litres. A key benefit to these bags is that they are lighter and easier to store. The gas cylinders can also be used whilst still in the bag and conform to all necessary safety standards.

Gas grab handles slide over the bottle and lock on, providing you with two handles to get a good grip and leverage, they are even easier to use with two people. Gas cylinder lifting bags are another great way of lifting these awkward objects. They are available in a range of sizes and enable the gas to be used without the need to be removed from the bag.
The use of the right gas bottle handling equipment can minimise the physical effort required and strains can be minimised greatly. Manually lifting a gas cylinder can be tricky due to the size, weight and shape. It is often done by cuddling the bottle to the body to lift, however this puts strain on many body parts. Or to move you tilt the bottle and turn it on its edge to move it around, this is tricky, slow and awkward. Gas bottle grabs, trolleys and cradles can all be used to minimise the physical exertion needed to lift and move gas cylinders. Make your life easier whilst minimising injuries with the right gas cylinder handling equipment.
