MECO Heavy-Duty Cylinder Truck, Compressed Gas Cylinder Transport

 

MECO Cylinder Trucks let you effortlessly move 6 or 8 heavy cylinder bottles without needing mechanized equipment. Engineered for durability, safety, and ease of use, these trucks feature a double-welded 1/4" steel deck and a 1" square tube superstructure, built to handle cylinders up to 9-1/4" in diameter for years of reliable service. A comfortable 3/4" diameter push handle and two heavy-duty chains, positioned 37" above the deck, keep cylinders securely in place during transport.

Both models roll smoothly on two swivel and two rigid phenolic casters with roller bearings for superior maneuverability. The six-cylinder model features 1-1/2" floor clearance and a floor lock for safe, easy loading and unloading. The eight-cylinder model includes 10" wide fold-down ramps on either side for effortless loading, along with brakes on the swivel casters to keep the truck stationary when needed.

Ships fully assembled and finished in a durable orange enamel for high visibility and long-lasting protection.

♦ CT-6, 6" x 2" phenolic casters, 2 swivel, 2 rigid. Capacity: 6 cylinders. Floor clearance 1-1/2". Floor lock standard.

♦ Chain security, positioned 37" above the deck, features heavy-duty chains that keep cylinders upright and secured during transport, reducing tipping risk on uneven floors.
