CYLINDER HANDLING TROLLEY — ergonomic equipment for safer manual handling
A cylinder handling trolley from REAL GAZ reduces the manual effort and injury risk involved in moving heavy gas cylinders. Long handles, a low tilt angle and a locking chain allow a single operator to move a full cylinder without lifting it.
Compared with carrying or rolling a cylinder, a trolley keeps the valve protected and the load centred.

Safe-handling practice follows EN ISO 11625, valve design follows ISO 10297, and identification follows EN 1089-3, for health and safety programmes in many sectors.
A good handling programme combines the right trolley with training, route planning and regular inspection. REAL GAZ can supply laminated tilt-and-roll instruction cards, suggest suitable chain lengths and wheel types for each site, and advise how often trolleys should be checked in your risk assessment. This helps maintenance managers document safe procedures and show that handling equipment is fit for purpose.
