Different Types Of Cylinder Storage And Transport Caddies Can Make Your Plant Safer And Efficient

It is essential that you safely store and organize your LP gas storage tanks. It is also vital to your worker safety and process flow that you rapidly move these tanks in a quick, safe, and ergonomic manner.

There are a number of cylinder storage transport products that you can use to consolidate and itemize your LP tank inventory, and increase the portability of these vital components to your operations cycle. These products include cylinder storage cabinets and transport caddies that are engineered for maximum safely, ergonomic portability, and maximum tank capacity.

Steel cabinets with open-air sides are the best tools to use for storing LP gas tanks. These units feature rugged steel construction and powder-coat safety yellow finish for maximum visibility. The storage capacities of these cabinets will vary based upon the size of the tanks stored within them. Expanded steel mesh sides make these units strong, and they also keep contents to be ventilated, visible, and easy to catalogue.

The top of each cylinder storage cabinet is made from a solid sheet of steel. Lockable doors and lag holes in the base of the cabinet allow you to secure your LP tanks against unauthorized use. Each unit has been engineered for maximum compliance with both OSHA and NFPA standards, including a red letter sign that reads Flammable.

In certain outdoor and coastal environments with high atmospheric salt content, steel needs to be galvanized to protect it against corrosion. Galvanized cylinder storage cabinets are built from 100 percent steel that has been coated with a galvanized rust resistant finish.

These units offer the advantage of sturdy, reliable performance in outdoor environments and extreme climates. They are also ideal for coastal ports like Houston and Charleston where atmospheric saline content is high.

Each unit meets OSHA 1910.110 requirements. The sides are made from 4 gauge galvanized welded wires with sturdy 1 inch square steel angle frames. This gives the unit a stable center of gravity on any surface. Additional rust protection comes in the form of a 12 gauge galvanized steel roof. The cabinet includes a padlock hasp for security and a Danger Flammable Materials sign.

The Fork Truck cylinder transport caddy will move up to 6 LP tanks measuring 12" in diameter each. It features 100 percent steel construction and is held in place by safety chains.

This all in one cylinder transport cart will allow you to transport LP tanks to any location where you need them. It is engineered with heavy-duty welded steel construction and features a painted finish. It also includes a built-in crane that you can use to safely load full tanks onto fork trucks. The crane will pivot up to 360 degrees for maximum mobility in any direction.

You can raise and lower the crane boom by using a simple manual, hydraulic lift hand pump. During transport, each cylinder is secured in place by the attachment at the end of the boom. The unit also features built-in racks that store two cylinders in the vertical position and four tanks in the horizontal position.

Every tank truck also features a push handle that has two rigid and two swivel casters for easy mobility.
