Project Spotlight: Powered Gas Cylinder Lifting System

Application: Gas-cylinder handling at a storage rack
Equipment: Powered cylinder lifter with gripping attachment
Focus: Removing, transporting and positioning tall cylinders

The challenge

Tall gas cylinders had to be removed from a storage rack and moved without relying on direct manual lifting. The cylindrical load offered limited gripping points and required secure control throughout the movement.

The installed solution

LiftRite supplied a powered lifter with a purpose-designed cylinder attachment. The operator positions the gripping system around the cylinder, secures the load and moves it under control from the rack.

Engineering features

• Purpose-designed grip for tall cylinders
• Powered lifting movement
• Close operator control at the load
• Mobile chassis for movement between storage and point of use

The outcome

The system provides a controlled method of handling an awkward cylindrical load while reducing the need to lift or support the cylinder manually.
