• Operational stability: the central bar and ergonomic handle reduce the risk of tipping and fatigue during manual handling.
• Load safety: the red safety chain prevents the cylinder from slipping during transport, keeping it locked even on routes with level changes.
• Universal compatibility: the Ø 200 mm solid rubber wheels ensure stable sliding on all common floorings (stoneware, concrete, resin, asphalt) without the risk of jamming.
• Logistical practicality: the 100 kg capacity and compact dimensions (44×40 cm base) allow access to tight spaces and narrow hospital corridors.
• Regulatory compliance: CE marking ensures compliance with European safety standards for handling equipment in healthcare environments.

The trolley is used in hospital departments (intensive care, anesthesia, emergency) for the rapid transfer of cylinders between operating rooms and patient stations. It also finds application in industrial environments equipped with technical gas distribution lines, where it is necessary to move cylinders between the warehouse and points of use. Suitable for first aid facilities and specialized clinics requiring immediate availability of therapeutic oxygen. The design allows use in internal spaces (corridors, elevators, technical rooms) and, with caution, in outdoor environments on paved surfaces.

Choose this trolley when manual handling of oxygen cylinders is frequent and requires certified reliability. It is the correct solution in hospital environments subject to occupational safety regulations, where a dedicated and ergonomic fixing system reduces the risk of accidents and damage to the load. The robustness of the steel structure (own weight 11 kg, load capacity 100 kg) makes it preferable to lightweight solutions when the cylinder must travel medium distances on various floorings. An essential prerequisite is that the cylinder in use falls within the supported dimensions (max diameter 260 mm) and is compatible with the total available load capacity.

How to choose between this trolley and a simple pallet truck?

A generic pallet truck does not guarantee the specific fixing of the cylinder nor the vertical stability required in a hospital environment. This trolley integrates a safety chain and a dedicated central bar, reducing the risk of tipping. The pallet truck is suitable for flat and stable loads; the cylinder trolley is designed for the cylindrical geometry and concentrated weight of the cylinder.

On which surfaces can the wheels roll?

The Ø 200 mm solid rubber wheels, with black rubber ring hardness 82±4 Sh.A, ensure sliding on asphalt, stoneware, concrete, and resinated surfaces. Solid rubber does not jam on minor obstacles and maintains grip even with humidity. Surfaces with a steep slope (>5%) or deep cavities are not recommended.

Is it certified for hospital use?

Yes, the trolley bears the CE marking, which certifies compliance with European safety requirements. However, use in a healthcare environment must comply with local company protocols and accident prevention regulations. It is recommended to check with the internal technical office for compliance with any additional certifications required by the facility.

What is the maximum weight supported during transport?

The declared maximum capacity is 100 kg. This includes the weight of the cylinder itself (typically 6–8 kg for an empty 40/50 liter, up to 20–25 kg at full load) plus the operational safety margin. Do not exceed this limit to preserve structural stability.

Can the safety chain break during use?

The chain is made of material suitable for blocking the load and sized for ordinary handling pressures. However, it is a wear component subject to periodic checks. Visual inspection before each use and replacement if it shows deformations or corrosion is recommended.

What is the maintenance procedure?

Perform periodic checks of the integrity of the chain, check the movement of the wheels, and remove jammed debris. Clean steel surfaces with damp cloths, avoiding corrosive detergents. Lubricate the wheel axles lightly every 6 months. Store in a covered environment to prevent corrosion.
