Cylinder Hand Trucks and Dollies
About Cylinder Hand Trucks and Dollies
Moving tall and bulky cylinders full of gas can be tricky and dangerous. Dutro offers a variety of styles and sizes for the most commonly used cylinders in industry, commerce and business. Here are the things you want in a dolly made for cylinders:
- A wide base plate — A wide base plate gives you flexibility in both the type and the number f cylinders you can move
- Recessed backplate — Round cylinders don’t place nice on flat surfaces. A recessed backplate steadies the load.
- Reinforced frame — Round cylinders can shift weight on a cylinder handtruck quickly. A reinforced frame will keep the truck from tipping
- Large Wheels — Even empty, cylinders are weighty. The large wheels help handle the weight and make maneuvering over varied surfaces easier
- Avoid Pneumatic Tires — Hard rubber or flat free wheels are the best for cylinder loads. Pneumatics cannot handle the weight and bounce excessively
- Security Chains — Great for keeping the cylinders on the truck
- Tilted Profile — Some broader cylinders get extra heavy. The tilted profile of some of these cylinder trucks recenters the weight on four wheels, making it easier to move them
