Spinning/rolling gas cylinders to transport them - video

[NeiljohnUK]

BOC (Linde) adopted the angle drilled Muller valves on 'commercial' cylinders because of so many torpedoed cylinder incidents, being angle drilled they spin rather than launch when snapped off.

I prefer a 45° lay-back 4 wheel trolley when moving cylinders any distance, simple 2 wheel types are bad ergonomically. BOC also supply a 'churn' adaptor for hand-guarded cylinders.

I worked for a gas house for 6yrs in the 90’s. This was common practice back then. My buddy is still in the industry and tells me this practice is a huge no no now. If you’re caught doing it then you’re out. 0 tolerance. Insurance companies think it’s dangerous and won’t cover any accidents happening from the practice. Drivers are required to use 2-wheelers. I can tell you kicking tanks is a lot easier on your back than any 2-wheeler. Typical people that sit behind desks telling actual workers how they should do their jobs.

For "you I walk the line" doesn't always cash in the chips.
