1. Safest Way to Carry Industrial Cylinders with the cylinder lifting Trolley site-1676329-3194-3992.mystrikingly.com/blog/safest-way-to-carry-industrial-cylinders-with-the-cylinder- lifting-trolley Industrial gasses like nitrogen, argon, acetylene, carbon dioxide and oxygen are filled in cylinders. Their capacity may vary from 20CF to 300CF and more. You can use them in many applications from welding to soldering, cutting, and others. Often you may have to shift them from one place to the other. You might have experienced the pain of doing it manually since it can result in accidents. The cylinder lifting trolley can be helpful in carrying as many as four cylinders without any hassles. Let me show you how it works. Dimension and Capacity – Higher the Better What is the dimension of the cylinders you use? What is the weight of each cylinder? Calculate and you can select the lifter accordingly. The trolley has to hold the cylinders vertically while lifting and transporting. You should also make sure there are no vibrations and tilts. They can increase the risk of accidents and damages to the cylinders. Securing the cylinders with chains can give better security to them. But you have to consider the tightness of chains. It should not be too loose or too tight. Chains can be made of steel or rust-resistant cast iron. You can choose their length based on the cylinder dimension and the number of chain-rounds you have to use for binding the cylinder with the trolley. Choose a trolley which can accommodate the larger dimension of the cylinder. Drum Lifters – Forklifts to Mini Trucks Industrial drums are useful for strong liquids, gases, and powders. You may use them for carrying furnace fuel, welding gas, and other materials. Transporting them within the plant is a daunting task. Manual methods often fail due to safety and security risks. So, the alternate option is to use forklifts or mini trucks. Let me tell you about the drum handling forklift I use. It has a flatbed with adequate dimensions for carrying large drums. It has an arc-shaped jaw for binding with the drum. It can be lifted to a comfortable height and moved safely to any part of the plant by holding it just under the upper-rolling rib. The supporting rack, clamp, axle, and bolt of the trolley are the most critical parts. They ensure the balancing of the load while carrying. The jaw releases the drum slowly to the ground safely. Maintenance – Simple and Straightforward The Drum lifter is very easy to maintain. All you have to do is to lubricate the moving parts once a week. It works efficiently for years without any downtime. Hydraulic Trucks – Carry Your Drums anywhere 1/2

2. Have you seen the drum trucks that carry heavy loads over long distances? They are inexpensive, yet have the power to move tons of loads in a day. I have one such truck in my manufacturing unit. It is the best workhorse that is serving our drum lifting works for years. What is more, it needs only regular lubrication of moving parts and overall cleaning. Conclusion I suggest you use the combination of forklift and truck for the drum and cylinder handling in your plant from today. They can make drum transportation and cylinder lifting simple and safe. 2/2
