OverviewThe CTS02 gas bottle trolley is engineered for safe hoisting and level transfers of cylinders using an overhead crane, forklift or derrick. It combines a fixed clamping band to secure the cylinder with a tested, certified wire rope lifting sling to enable safe overhead lifting of the trolley and cylinder together.
Features- Tested and certified wire rope lifting sling for overhead lifting
- Safe Working Load (SWL): 150 kg
- 304-grade corrosion-resistant stainless steel construction (manufactured in the UK)
- Fixed diameter securing/clamping band with single removable locking pin (suitable for cylinders Ø 230 mm ±10 mm)
- Unique wheel arrangement: 65 mm front wheels for vertical loading and four 160 mm main wheels for manoeuvrability and negotiating small steps and door sills
- Low manual operating force (<15 kg)
- ATEX / UKEX option available for hazardous zones 1, 2, 21 and 22
Design & OperationThe cylinder is positioned in the trolley and secured with the clamping band. The certified lifting sling attaches to the trolley for overhead hoisting so the trolley and cylinder are lifted as a single unit. The design reduces manual handling risk and minimises maintenance requirements for long service life.
Key benefits- Reduces manual handling injuries
- Improves handling efficiency for multi-level transfers
- Easy to operate with low maintenance
- Long expected service life (20+ years)
