Cylinder Lifter: Gas Cylinder Lifting Trolley, Made in the UK
A manual lifting trolley for heavy gas bottles and cylinders. Strap the cylinder in, wheel it from the store to the workstation and set it down onto a welder, cylinder cart or platform up to 250 mm high, safely and under control, without lifting it by hand.
Built for the cylinder change
In most workshops, putting a full cylinder onto a welder's cylinder carrier still means a two-arm hug and a heave. We developed the Cylinder Lifter with welders and regular users to take that lift out of the job, and with it much of the risk of back and muscle injury. Safety has been the priority at every stage of the design.
Designed by welders. Made in the UK.

How the Cylinder Lifter is built
Construction
The frame is made from powder-coated steel tube, so it stands up to everyday workshop use. Its 250 mm puncture-proof wheels are made of microcellular foam, so they roll over rough and uneven floors and can't go flat.
A 50 mm nylon safety strap holds the cylinder firmly while it's on the move, and an anti-slip foot grip and a nubbed vinyl handle grip help you keep steady control.
Design
Safety comes first in the design. The strap tightens with a 50 mm ratchet buckle that has a comfortable handle, so the cylinder is locked in place before it moves.
It has a safe working load (SWL) of 100 kg and takes cylinders of around 254 mm in diameter.
It sets cylinders down onto platforms up to 250 mm high, so nobody has to lift or lower them by hand.
Dimensions
At 1400 × 500 × 470 mm and 26 kg, the Cylinder Lifter is light enough to wheel around the workshop and easy to store. Its simple design makes it an affordable way to cut the manual handling risks of changing gas cylinders.
Patented design, built around safety
The problem with heavy gas bottles
Full gas cylinders are heavy and awkward, with nothing to hold on to, and their weight can be well over the recommended limit for lifting by hand. The traditional 'bear hug' is tiring and puts the person doing it at risk. The Cylinder Lifter removes the need for it, giving your team a simple, easy-to-use way to move and load cylinders.
Full gas cylinders can weigh more than 95 kg. Lifting them by hand puts the body under heavy strain and can lead to lower back, shoulder and elbow injuries, as an independent report by a chartered physiotherapist points out.
That's why cylinder lifters are now used in many industries. The Cylinder Lifter is purpose-built for loading cylinders onto mobile welding sets and cylinder stands and taking them off again, helping your business reduce the risk of manual handling injuries at work.
A practical answer to manual handling
Changing cylinders is one of the most common manual handling jobs in industry. The Cylinder Lifter protects both the person doing it and the cylinder itself, and gives any business that handles heavy gas cylinders a safe, quick and simple way to move them. Order yours today.
