Double Gas Cylinder Trolleys – Efficient, Safe Transport for Dual Cylinder Handling

In workplaces where multiple gas cylinders are used simultaneously—such as welding, healthcare, or industrial settings—handling and moving them safely is a top priority. Double Gas Cylinder Trolleys provide a reliable, compliant, and ergonomic solution for transporting two compressed gas cylinders at once, reducing the need for multiple trips while improving efficiency and safety.

Whether you’re working on a busy fabrication floor or transporting oxygen and acetylene cylinders between service areas, double gas cylinder trolleys are designed to handle the job with stability, security, and ease.

 

Why Choose a Double Gas Cylinder Trolley

Handling compressed gas cylinders manually is risky due to their heavy weight, awkward shape, and hazardous contents. When two cylinders need to be moved together—such as oxygen and acetylene for oxy-fuel welding—a double gas cylinder trolley provides a secure, balanced transport platform.

These trolleys are ideal for:

  • Welding or cutting tasks requiring two types of gas

  • Facilities needing frequent, safe relocation of gas cylinders

  • Reducing manual handling risks by allowing dual transport

  • Improving workplace productivity through efficient logistics

By transporting two cylinders in one trip, workers save time and energy while reducing the likelihood of injury or cylinder damage.

 

Key Benefits

Increased Efficiency

Transport two cylinders at once—commonly oxygen and acetylene—without the need for back-and-forth trips, boosting on-site productivity.

Safe and Stable Transport

Equipped with strong base plates, chains or straps, and reinforced frames to keep both cylinders upright and secure during movement.

Ergonomic Design

Ergonomically positioned handles and balanced wheel placement reduce strain on the user, making trolleys easier to push or pull even when fully loaded.

Built for Industrial Use

Constructed from durable steel with powder-coated or galvanised finishes to withstand tough working conditions, indoors or outdoors.

WHS Compliance

Helps meet workplace health and safety (WHS) regulations regarding manual handling, gas storage, and transport practices.

 

Types of Double Gas Cylinder Trolleys

At Verdex, we offer a variety of double gas cylinder trolleys to suit different applications, environments, and cylinder sizes. Here are the most common styles:

1. Standard Twin-Cylinder Trolleys

Designed for two large gas bottles, typically featuring a dual cradle with separate compartments, safety chains, and solid rubber or pneumatic tyres.

2. Oxy/Acetylene Welding Trolleys

Purpose-built for welding kits, these trolleys carry both oxygen and acetylene cylinders and often include holders for hoses, regulators, and torches.

3. Stair-Climbing Trolleys

Equipped with tri-wheel or stair-climber assemblies for safely moving two cylinders up or down steps, ideal for technicians and maintenance crews.

4. Pneumatic Wheel Trolleys

Fitted with air-filled tyres for shock absorption and better grip on rough terrain—ideal for construction, mining, and outdoor industrial use.

5. Compact Folding Trolleys

Space-saving designs for mobile trades or smaller work environments where trolleys must be stored or transported frequently.

 

Choosing the Correct Equipment

Choosing the correct gas cylinder trolley ensures optimal performance and compliance in your workplace. Consider the following factors:

Cylinder Size and Type

Ensure the trolley can safely accommodate the specific gas bottles you’re using—typically D, E, G, or H size cylinders. Cradle width and base plate depth are key.

Restraint Mechanisms

Choose a model with robust safety chains, straps, or clamps to prevent tipping or movement during transport. Some models include two-point restraints per cylinder.

Wheel Type

  • Solid Rubber Wheels: Durable, puncture-proof and suitable for indoor or workshop floors

  • Pneumatic Wheels: Provide smoother movement on uneven or outdoor surfaces

  • Stair-Climber Wheels: Tri-wheel assemblies that rotate to climb steps or kerbs safely

Frame Construction

  • Powder-Coated Steel: Affordable and corrosion-resistant for indoor use

  • Galvanised Steel: Offers enhanced protection against rust in outdoor or humid environments

Extra Features

  • Storage hooks or trays for hoses and tools

  • Brakes or locking wheels for stationary safety

  • Ergonomic handle grips for user comfort

  • Fold-down cradles for easier cylinder loading

Our full selection of trolleys and hand trucks are designed to meet your workplace requirements. Choose from our versatile range of cage trolleys, multi tier shelf trolleys, multi purpose trolleys, hardware trolleys, industrial trolleys and more.


Workplace Safety Tips

When transporting two compressed gas cylinders, extra care must be taken to avoid risks such as leaks, falls, or injuries:

  • Always secure both cylinders with chains or straps before movement

  • Move cylinders in an upright position—never lay them horizontally

  • Push the trolley forward using proper lifting posture; avoid pulling

  • Keep cylinders capped during transport to protect valves

  • Never exceed the trolley’s load rating or capacity

  • Use brakes or wheel chocks when loading or on slopes

  • Conduct regular inspections of trolley frames, wheels, and restraints

  • Store trolleys upright in a dry area away from ignition sources

Proper staff training is also vital for safe handling of compressed gases and to ensure compliance with Australian safety regulations.

 

Where Double Gas Cylinder Trolleys Are Used

Double gas cylinder trolleys are used in a wide range of environments where dual gas handling is essential:

Welding and Fabrication

Used to transport oxygen and acetylene bottles in workshops, factories, and on job sites for cutting, brazing, or welding applications.

Hospitals and Medical Centres

Move oxygen and nitrous oxide cylinders safely between treatment areas, operating rooms, and wards.

Construction and Maintenance

Essential on large-scale projects or building sites for mobile gas handling, especially for plumbing, HVAC, or onsite welding work.

Laboratories and Research Facilities

Securely transport gas cylinders required for analytical equipment, sterilisation, or gas chromatography setups.

Mobile Trades and Service Vehicles

Foldable or compact models used by on-the-road tradespeople for servicing, installations, or repairs requiring gas supply.
