Single Gas Cylinder Trolleys – Safe, Mobile Solutions for Handling Compressed Gas Cylinders

Compressed gas cylinders are commonly used across a wide range of industries, including welding, medical, construction, and laboratories. However, due to their weight, size, and pressurised contents, moving and storing gas cylinders comes with significant safety concerns. This is where Single Gas Cylinder Trolleys come into play—offering a practical, secure, and compliant method of transporting gas bottles safely and efficiently.

Whether you're working on a job site, in a medical facility, or within a manufacturing plant, using a properly designed gas cylinder trolley minimises manual handling risks and helps meet WHS standards. With strong construction, ergonomic design, and safe restraint mechanisms, single cylinder trolleys provide reliable mobility for heavy and hazardous loads.

 

Why Choose a Single Gas Cylinder Trolley

Manual handling of gas cylinders is not only physically demanding—it also poses serious safety hazards. Cylinders can weigh up to 100 kg and must be transported upright to avoid leaks, pressure loss, or catastrophic failure.

Single Gas Cylinder Trolleys are designed specifically to transport one cylinder at a time, providing the ideal balance of control, safety, and portability. These trolleys are essential for:

  • Moving oxygen, acetylene, LPG, CO₂, or argon bottles

  • Ensuring correct upright positioning of cylinders during transport

  • Reducing strain on workers and preventing cylinder falls or damage

  • Complying with Australian safety standards and workplace procedures

For workplaces that require frequent gas cylinder movement in confined or open environments, these trolleys are a must-have tool.

 

Key Benefits of Single Gas Cylinder Trolleys

Enhanced Safety

Purpose-built for stability and secure positioning, these trolleys prevent tipping, rolling, or impact during movement. Most include safety chains or straps to firmly secure the cylinder.

Ergonomic and Easy to Manoeuvre

With large pneumatic or solid wheels and comfortable handles, users can move cylinders with less effort—improving posture and reducing injury risk.

Compact and Lightweight

Designed for transporting a single cylinder, these trolleys are lightweight and easy to store or load into vehicles, while still being sturdy enough for industrial use.

Durable Construction

Made from high-grade steel and finished with corrosion-resistant coatings, these trolleys withstand tough site conditions and long-term use.

WHS Compliance

Using approved trolleys helps workplaces meet their duty of care by reducing hazardous manual lifting and handling of compressed gas cylinders.

 

Types of Single Gas Cylinder Trolleys

Verdex supplies a range of single-cylinder trolleys suited for various industries and gas types. Here are some of the most popular configurations:

1. Standard Single Gas Bottle Trolley

The classic design for transporting one cylinder upright, with a tubular steel frame, base plate, and chain restraint. Ideal for welding shops, maintenance departments, and manufacturing sites.

2. Pneumatic Wheel Cylinder Trolleys

Equipped with air-filled tyres, these trolleys are suited for outdoor or uneven surfaces such as construction sites, workshops, or agricultural applications.

3. Solid Wheel Cylinder Trolleys

Low-maintenance and puncture-proof, solid rubber wheels are ideal for indoor environments like hospitals, laboratories, or clean manufacturing facilities.

4. Stair-Climber Cylinder Trolleys

These models feature tri-wheel or stair-climber assemblies that allow safe and stable movement up and down stairs or over kerbs—perfect for mobile technicians or building maintenance teams.

5. Foldable or Compact Cylinder Trolleys

Lightweight designs that collapse for storage or vehicle transport, commonly used by mobile tradespeople or in multi-location facilities.

Our range also includes double gas cylinder trolleys to suit your workplace requirements.

 

How to Choose the Right Gas Cylinder Trolley

When selecting a gas cylinder trolley, it’s essential to match the trolley to the type of cylinder, your work environment, and frequency of use.

Cylinder Type and Size

Gas cylinders vary in height, diameter, and weight. Choose a trolley that accommodates the cylinder type you regularly use—whether it’s a D-size oxygen bottle or a larger G-size argon tank.

Restraint Mechanism

Look for models with integrated safety chains, straps, or clamps that keep the cylinder securely in place during movement.

Wheel Type

  • Pneumatic Tyres: Ideal for rough terrain and shock absorption

  • Solid Rubber Wheels: Durable and puncture-resistant for indoor flooring

  • Stair-Climber Wheels: For navigating steps, gutters, and curbs safely

Frame Material

  • Powder-Coated Steel: Strong, impact-resistant, and suitable for industrial use

  • Galvanised Steel: Corrosion-resistant, excellent for outdoor or wet environments

Additional Features

  • Foldable handles for compact storage

  • Tool trays for carrying hoses, regulators, or torches

  • Brakes for stationary safety

  • Dual-handled options for better control

 

Workplace Safety Tips

To ensure safe operation, it’s important to follow best practices and WHS guidelines when transporting gas cylinders:

  • Always move cylinders upright—never lay them down

  • Secure cylinders with chains or straps before moving

  • Push the trolley rather than pulling for better control and posture

  • Avoid oversteering or sharp movements on inclines

  • Inspect wheels and frame regularly for damage or wear

  • Wear gloves and steel-capped boots when handling heavy cylinders

  • Store the trolley and cylinder in a secure, upright position when not in use

  • Do not use trolleys as storage stands—remove cylinders when not being moved

Training staff in proper handling and maintenance procedures can help avoid injury and equipment damage.

 

Applications Across Industries

Single gas cylinder trolleys are used in a wide variety of industries where gas cylinders play a central role in operations:

Welding and Fabrication

Used to move oxygen, acetylene, or shielding gases across workshops and job sites.

Healthcare and Aged Care

Ideal for oxygen bottles or medical gases used in treatment rooms, wards, or mobile medical units.

Laboratories and Research Facilities

Securely transport specialty gases used in scientific experiments or testing environments.

Construction and Maintenance

Assist tradespeople in transporting gas cylinders on-site, especially in high-risk or uneven areas.

Hospitality and Beverage Services

Used to transport CO₂ or nitrogen cylinders for drink dispensing systems in bars and venues.

Some of our other reliable trolleys and hand trucks consist of dollies, multi tier shelf trolleys, multi purpose trolleys, platform trolleys, powered trolleys, appliance trolleys and more.
