Gas Cylinder Storage Racks

While there are many creative and innovative ways to transport and store all kinds of materials, gas cylinders are very important exceptions to the convenient storage rule. Due to the many hazards associated with compressed, and sometimes toxic gases, these cylinders require special storage racks and cabinets specifically designed for the purpose of safely handling and maintaining and inventory of compressed, liquefied gases contained in portable cylinders.

If you improperly store or handle gas cylinders, you risk creating some very severe safety hazards including, but not limited to, fire, contamination of the environment, asphyxiation, and possible explosion. Not only do these hazards represent heavy penalties and fines if your facility is found in violation of NFPA safety codes, but the level of risk these dangers represent literally make it a matter of life and death to properly handle and store gas cylinders correctly and safely.

Gas cylinder storage racks and cabinets represent an investment you canʼt afford NOT to make. A number of models can be obtained from Easy Rack that will keep your facility in full compliance with safety codes and help keep your property and employees safe from worse-case scenario accidents.

Portable Cylinder Clutcher
This portable gas cylinder rack is engineered for lifting and moving LP tanks. It offers smooth, ergonomic, automatic control that allows the operator to simply raise and lower handle while in use. This portable cylinder clutcher works with gas cylinder diameters that range from 8½ " to 12½". It includes two rigid and one swivel caster for easy, ergonomic maneuverability.

Cylinder Caddies
You can safely transport cylinders safely with these fork-mounted or pallet jack style gas cylinder racks. These units can hold anywhere from 2 to 6 cylinders each, and they come complete with safety chains to secure cylinders in place. Made of all steel construction, these cylinder caddy racks hold cylinders up to 9-1/2" in diameter.

Wall Mounted Single Cylinder Cabinet Brackets
These ingenious wall mounted gas cylinder storage cabinets are designed to store one LP cylinder each. The unit is easy to install. Simply bolt it to a wall and then secure the cylinder to the cabinet bracket with the strap. You can choose either steel or molded plastic brackets, and you can also order an optional steel chain for extra safety.

Welded Cylinder Torch Cart
Cutting torches with a gas cylinder fuel cell require their own portable cabinet to safely transport. The welded cylinder torch cart does exactly this. It is intended to contain and transport a cutting torch wherever it is needed. This portable cylinder torch cart includes gas cylinder tank storage cabinets, torch holding brackets, a torch holding box, and an overhead crane lifting point. Two handles and fork pockets allow it to be moved either by hand or with a fork truck. The unit rolls smoothly on two 10" x 3½" pneumatic wheels.

Gas Cylinder Tank Truck
The LP-6 is an all-in-one cart that allows users to transport gas cylinders to the location they are needed, and then switch out tanks in a safe and efficient manner. With a sturdy, user friendly design, this gas cylinder tank truck is the ergonomic solution to the many lifting, transporting, and storing problems associate with LP tanks. The built in crane can be used to safely load full gas cylinders into fork trucks. The crane pivots 360 degrees for maximum versatility. The tank attachment at the end of the boom utilizes steel hooks to securely clamp each end of the cylinder. Built in racks allow for convenient storage of gas cylinders in two sets of racks. The lighter, empty gas cylinders can be easily removed from the fork truck by hand and stored in the two vertical racks. Full gas cylinders can be stored in the four horizontal racks, allowing them to be picked up by the built in crane. Simply pull the pin, and the top racks pivot outward easily to allow access to the bottom two tanks. Units feature two rigid and two swivel casters for easy portability, and a floor lock is included to keep the unit immobile while in use. The ergonomic push handle is bolted in, and is easily removable. The crane boom is raised and lowered with a manual hand pump hydraulic lift. This allows one operator to raise the gas cylinder from the storage racks on the unit, or to lower them from the fork with a convenient lowering valve.
