The Cylinder Lifter for Gas Suppliers and Depots
Gas suppliers handle full cylinders all day: in the depot, at the trade counter and on customers' premises. The Cylinder Lifter gives your drivers and depot staff a way to move and place them without lifting by hand.
Heavy cylinders, shift after shift
A full large argon or mixed-gas cylinder can weigh 80 kg or more, and it has nothing to grip. Each time someone hugs one off a rack, carries it through a customer's workshop or heaves it onto a welder, there's a risk of a strained back, shoulder or elbow, or a cylinder dropped on a foot or knocked onto its valve. Over a full day of deliveries and depot work, those lifts add up. Moving cylinders is a manual handling task that belongs in your risk assessment, and the Cylinder Lifter is a practical way to take the hand lift out of it.
Where it helps
On delivery
Drivers can wheel a full cylinder from the van to the customer's welder and set it onto the cylinder carrier, instead of carrying it in.
In the depot
Move cylinders around the depot and trade counter, and set them onto stands or platforms up to 250 mm high, one person at a time.
For your customers
Your welding customers face the same problem every time they change a cylinder. Stock the Cylinder Lifter and give them a safer way to do it. Find out about becoming an agent.
Built for everyday handling
- Takes the large cylinders. Up to 100 kg and around 254 mm in diameter.
- Light work at the handle. The pivot frame carries the load, so only about 14 kg reaches the person moving it.
- Tough wheels. 250 mm puncture-proof wheels that roll over depot floors and yards and can't go flat.
- Nothing to maintain. No motor, battery or hydraulics.
- Compact. It weighs 26 kg and measures 1400 × 500 × 470 mm.
- Made in the UK. CE and UKCA marked, with a 12-month warranty for professional and commercial use.
Where it won't help
It sets cylinders onto platforms up to 250 mm high. It isn't a hoist or crane, so it's not designed for loading vehicles, tail lifts or high racks. Our comparison page sets out other options for those jobs.
