OVERVIEW

Reliable Gas Cylinder Transport for Industrial Safety

In the realm of industrial gas distribution and facility management, the safe handling of high-pressure cylinders is paramount. The W-8S Single Cylinder Cart is engineered to meet the rigorous demands of transporting medium to large gas cylinders across factory floors, warehouses, and construction sites. Manufactured with a focus on structural integrity and user safety, this cart transforms the hazardous task of manually moving heavy tanks into a controlled and efficient process.

The W-8S is constructed from heavy-duty steel tubing, providing a rigid frame that does not flex under the weight of full oxygen, argon, or nitrogen cylinders. Designed to accommodate a single cylinder with a diameter up to 9-1/4 inches, it is versatile enough to handle the most common industrial tank sizes found in MRO environments. The inclusion of a robust safety chain is a critical feature, ensuring that the cylinder remains upright and firmly attached to the cart frame during transit, thereby mitigating the risk of tipping or falling which could lead to valve damage or personnel injury.

One of the standout features of this model is its mobility system. Equipped with 8-inch solid rubber tires, the W-8S eliminates the downtime associated with pneumatic tire maintenance. In industrial settings where floors may be littered with sharp debris, metal shavings, or fasteners, pneumatic tires are prone to punctures. The solid tires on this unit are impervious to flats, ensuring that the cart is always ready for service. Furthermore, the wheel size is optimized to roll smoothly over expansion joints, cracks in concrete, and uneven surfaces, reducing the physical strain on the operator.

For facility managers and safety officers, investing in proper cylinder transport equipment like the W-8S is an investment in compliance and accident prevention. Its durable powder-coated finish resists corrosion and wear, ensuring a long service life even in harsh chemical or outdoor environments. Whether you are moving shielding gas to a welding station or transporting oxygen for maintenance cutting, this cart provides the stability and reliability required for professional gas handling.

FAQ

The W-8S cart is designed to hold cylinders with a diameter of up to 9-1/4 inches, which covers most standard medium and large industrial gas cylinders.

This cart is equipped with 8-inch solid rubber tires. They are puncture-proof and will not go flat, making them ideal for environments with sharp debris.

Yes, the W-8S includes a safety chain to securely strap the cylinder to the frame during transport, preventing tipping.

The frame is constructed from heavy-duty steel tubing, ensuring durability and the ability to handle the weight of full high-pressure cylinders.

Yes, it can transport either an oxygen cylinder or an acetylene cylinder individually, provided the tank diameter does not exceed 9-1/4 inches.

Some minor assembly may be required, typically involving attaching the wheels and axle to the frame, but it is generally very straightforward.

While specific ratings vary, this style of cart is typically rated for loads up to approximately 200-300 lbs, sufficient for large standard gas cylinders.

The 8-inch solid tires work best on concrete or paved surfaces. While they can handle packed dirt, they may struggle on loose deep gravel compared to larger pneumatic tires.
