Safer Lifting for Heavy Gas Cylinders
Enhancing safety and efficiency when lifting and handling heavy industrial gas cylinders in the workplace.

The Challenge of Handling Heavy Gas Cylinders
In high-risk industrial environments, heavy, high-pressure gas cylinders are a necessary but hazardous component. Used across a wide variety of sectors, these cylinders frequently weigh over 200kg and are awkward to manoeuvre. If one falls or is handled incorrectly, the results can be severe, posing a danger to personnel and causing costly downtime or damage.
Manual handling of gas bottles remains common practice, but it's a task fraught with risk. The potential for injury, time off work, and associated financial liability makes it an urgent concern, especially for Health and Safety Managers or Risk Officers seeking compliant, reliable solutions.


Our Solution: The Electric Gas Cylinder Lifter
STS has an existing range of Gas Cylinder Lifting Trucks. A customer approached us with a specific request: they needed an electric version of our Gas Cylinder Lifter (model: DTP03-CA10).
Our team responded by integrating an electric-hydraulic, battery-powered system into the design. The result was a more efficient and user-friendly solution for moving gas cylinders. This system significantly reduced the manual strain on operators, making the handling process faster and far less strenuous when compared to traditional 'man-handling' methods.
