What Are Gas Cylinders?

Gas cylinders are essential components across various industries, used to store and transport a wide range of gases, from oxygen and nitrogen to more hazardous substances like acetylene and chlorine. These cylinders are robust, pressurised containers designed to safely hold gases under pressure, ensuring they remain secure and accessible when needed. They play a crucial role in sectors such as healthcare, manufacturing, construction, and chemical processing, where gases are required for operations like welding, cutting, and medical treatments. Due to the high pressures involved, handling these cylinders safely and efficiently is paramount to preventing accidents and ensuring smooth operations.

What Types of Gas Cylinders Are There and the Sizes?

Gas cylinders come in numerous types and sizes, each tailored to specific gases and usage requirements. Broadly, gas cylinders can be categorised by the type of gas they contain: inert gases (e.g., argon), flammable gases (e.g., propane), oxidising gases (e.g., oxygen), and toxic gases (e.g., ammonia). Each type demands specific handling and storage procedures due to the varying risks they pose.

In terms of sizes, gas cylinders can range from small, portable cylinders to large, industrial-sized containers. For example, a typical oxygen cylinder may come in sizes from as small as 2 litres for medical use to 50 litres for industrial applications. The size and type of cylinder used will depend on the application, the required volume of gas, and the safety protocols in place.

Why Do Businesses Need Cylinder Handling Equipment?

Handling gas cylinders without the proper equipment can be hazardous and inefficient. Gas cylinders are often heavy, bulky, and, when filled with gas under high pressure, potentially dangerous if mishandled. Businesses need gas cylinder handling equipment to ensure the safety of their workers, prevent accidents, and improve operational efficiency.

Proper handling equipment minimises the risk of accidents such as cylinder drops, leaks, or explosions. Moreover, it ensures that cylinders are stored correctly, preventing them from becoming a safety hazard in the workplace. With the right equipment, businesses can streamline their operations, reducing the time and effort required to move and store cylinders safely.

Types of Gas Cylinder Handling Equipment

Secure Gas Cages

Secure gas cages are essential for storing gas cylinders safely and securely. These cages are designed to prevent unauthorised access and protect cylinders from environmental factors such as direct sunlight or rain, which could compromise their safety. At HSE Store, our gas cages are robust, weather-resistant, and provide an effective solution for both short-term and long-term cylinder storage. They come in various sizes to accommodate different numbers and sizes of cylinders, ensuring flexibility for your storage needs.

Floor & Wall Racks

Floor and wall racks offer an organised and space-efficient way to store gas cylinders within a facility. These racks are designed to securely hold cylinders in place, preventing them from tipping over or rolling away. Our floor and wall racks at HSE Store are built with durability in mind, ensuring that they can withstand the demands of busy workplaces. These racks help in maintaining an orderly storage area, making it easier for workers to access the cylinders they need quickly and safely.

Forklift Handling Attachments

Forklift handling attachments are crucial for moving large or multiple gas cylinders across a worksite. These attachments are designed to fit standard forklifts, converting them into specialised tools for handling gas cylinders. At HSE Store, our forklift attachments are engineered for safety and efficiency, allowing your team to transport cylinders with ease while minimising the risk of accidents. These attachments are ideal for large-scale operations where moving cylinders manually would be impractical or unsafe.

Lifting & Handling Trolleys

Lifting and handling trolleys are indispensable for safely transporting gas cylinders over short distances. These trolleys are designed to carry the weight of cylinders, reducing the physical strain on workers and lowering the risk of injury. At HSE Store, we offer a range of trolleys tailored to different cylinder sizes and types, ensuring that you can find the right equipment for your needs. Our trolleys are built to last, with sturdy wheels and secure straps to keep cylinders stable during transport.
