Moving Full Cylinders All Day? A Lifter for Gas Distributors and Suppliers
At an industrial gas distributor, cylinders never stop moving. Full ones come in on the truck, go into storage, out to the counter and onto delivery vehicles, and the empties come back the other way. For your drivers and warehouse staff, every full cylinder is something to tilt, roll, carry or lift.
Where the strain adds up
Rolling a cylinder across the floor is the easy part. The hard part is the lift at the end, onto a stand, a platform or a customer's welder. A large argon or mixed-gas cylinder can weigh around 176 to 220 lb, far more than one person should lift by hand. If your drivers place cylinders on customers' welders, that lift often happens in a tight spot with nobody around to help.
How the Cylinder Lifter helps your team
- One tool to move and place. The ratchet strap holds the cylinder to the frame, the wheels roll it where it needs to go, and the pivot sets it onto platforms up to 10" high.
- The weight stays on the frame. Only about 31 lb of a full load reaches the handle.
- Nothing to charge. There's no motor or battery, so it's ready whenever a cylinder needs moving.
- Built for daily use. A powder-coated steel frame and 10" puncture-proof wheels, so there are no flat tires to fix.
- Easy to take along. At 57 lb and 55" x 20" x 18.5", it can ride on a delivery truck and come off at the customer's door.
It's rated for cylinders up to 220 lb and about 10" in diameter.
Offer it to your customers
The welding shops you supply have the same lifting problem when a cylinder arrives. If you'd like to stock the Cylinder Lifter or recommend it, we welcome inquiries from established US businesses serving welding supply, gas equipment and workplace safety customers.

Paperwork and support
A signed manufacturer's declaration of compliance for the 220 lb US model is available on request, and every unit carries a batch code for traceability. The 12-month warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship.
When it isn't the right tool
The Cylinder Lifter isn't a hoist or crane. For cylinders heavier than 220 lb, or lifts higher than 10", you'll need different equipment. Our comparison page sets out the options.
