OVERVIEW

Stable and Secure Single Cylinder Transport

The MK817 Cylinder Cart is a premium solution designed for the safe and efficient transport of industrial gas cylinders. Unlike standard two-wheel hand trucks that require the operator to tilt and balance the heavy load, this cart features a superior 4-wheel configuration. This design allows the cart to support the full weight of the cylinder independently, significantly reducing operator fatigue and the risk of accidental tipping. It is an essential tool for welding shops, medical facilities, and industrial warehouses where gas tanks need to be moved frequently.

Constructed from heavy-duty steel, the MK817 is built to withstand the rigors of daily use in tough environments. Its dimensions of 19" Width x 47" Height x 21" Depth make it compact enough to navigate through narrow aisles and doorways while still providing a substantial base for stability. The cart is designed to accommodate a single medium-to-large gas cylinder, such as those used for oxygen, acetylene, argon, or shielding gas mixes. A robust safety chain is included to firmly secure the cylinder to the frame, ensuring it remains upright and stable during transit.

The wheel assembly typically consists of two larger main wheels for traversing uneven surfaces and two smaller casters that provide excellent maneuverability and stability when the cart is stationary. This "quad-wheel" setup is particularly beneficial for older operators or those moving heavy high-pressure cylinders over longer distances within a facility. By prioritizing ergonomics and safety, the MK817 helps maintain a safer workplace and improves workflow efficiency.

Key Benefits

  • Enhanced Safety: The self-supporting design minimizes the risk of dropping a cylinder.
  • Ergonomic Operation: No need to balance heavy loads, reducing back strain.
  • Durable Build: All-steel frame with a protective finish resists rust and wear.

FAQ

The MK817 is designed to hold a single (1) medium to large industrial gas cylinder.

The cart measures approximately 19 inches in width, 47 inches in height, and 21 inches in depth.

No, the 4-wheel design is self-supporting, meaning the cart supports the weight of the cylinder without the operator needing to balance it back.

It features a 4-wheel configuration, typically with two main load-bearing wheels and two stabilizing casters, usually made of solid rubber.

Yes, a safety chain is included to secure the cylinder to the cart frame during transport.

The main advantage is stability and ergonomics; a 4-wheel cart does not require the operator to support the weight of the cylinder, reducing fatigue and injury risk.

Yes, provided the cylinder size is compatible with the cart's frame and chain retention system, it is suitable for transporting medical gases.

Some minor assembly is typically required, such as attaching the wheels and handle, depending on how it is boxed for shipment.
