Cylinder Handling FAQ's
When buying such a specialist product, we know there may be many questions you need answering! Check out our FAQ's below:
What Gas Cylinder Cages and Stands?
A Cylinder Stand is built solely for support, to hold the gas cylinders in place and prevent them from falling over or being knocked over in passing. This prevents the risk of injury also as they can be relatively weighty. In addition, these stands can be used alongside cylinder cages or on their own.
In comparison, a Gas Cylinder Cage can safely store and hold gas cylinders. It is a common choice in industrial work settings as they are made from high-quality steel or aluminium constructions. Often, cages have the ability to be lockable, to prevent unauthorised access and theft. The cages feature a bar design to ensure proper ventilation.
