• Reduction of physical effort: the wheeled structure and containment straps minimise staff fatigue during transport over long distances within healthcare facilities.
• Load safety: the double strap and central bar prevent the cylinder from swinging or falling, preventing damage to the equipment and risks to personnel.
• Manoeuvrability in tight spaces: the compact dimensions (D 400 mm) and ergonomic handle allow passage through narrow corridors and rooms typical of healthcare facilities.
• Versatile compatibility: the adjustable strap height (253–510 mm) adapts the trolley to different user sizes and various transport positions.
• Ease of sanitisation: the waterproof acrylic painting allows for quick and frequent cleaning, which is essential in hospital environments.
• High capacity and low weight: 100 kg capacity with only 13 kg of self-weight guarantees stability and does not further fatigue the staff.

The cylinder trolley is used in hospitals for transporting oxygen cylinders between departments, operating rooms, and intensive care units. In specialised clinics and polyclinics it facilitates rapid movements in environments with limited space. In nursing homes and long-term care facilities it supports nursing staff in daily movements within the ward units.

It is ideal in contexts where manual transport of cylinders would involve significant ergonomic risks or where the frequency of movements makes a dedicated and reliable means necessary. It is particularly useful in environments where space is limited and manoeuvres must be precise.

Choose this trolley when your healthcare facility needs a reliable means for frequent transport of oxygen cylinders in indoor environments. It is the right solution if the staff reports fatigue during manual transport, if spaces are tight and require manoeuvrability, and if quick sanitisation is a priority.

The trolley is suitable when the oxygen cylinder has a diameter of Ø 370 and when the 100 kg capacity is sufficient for your needs. It represents the optimal compromise between structural stability (central bar), load safety (double strap), ease of cleaning (acrylic painting), and operational robustness (low weight, quality pneumatic wheels). It is particularly suitable if the budget for auxiliary equipment is limited but operational reliability is non-negotiable.

Are the pneumatic wheels replaceable?

Yes, the Ø 260 pneumatic wheels are standard components and easily available on the market. It is recommended to check with the manufacturer or distributor for exact mounting and bearing specifications to ensure total compatibility.

What is the difference compared to trolleys with 360° swivel wheels?

Trolleys with omnidirectional swivel wheels offer greater manoeuvrability in very tight spaces and allow rotations on the spot, but often have a lower load capacity. This model, with parallel fixed wheels, prioritises directional stability and load capacity (100 kg), making it ideal for corridors and linear movements typical of hospitals and clinics.

Does it comply with hospital hygiene regulations?

The acrylic powder coating allows for cleaning with standard detergents and disinfection with alcohol and common disinfectants. There are no protrusions or crevices that could harbour pathogens. However, it is advisable to verify compliance with specific local regulations (ISO 11135 for sterilisation, if required) with the manufacturer.

Is adjusting the straps simple during use?

Yes, the height of the straps is adjustable from 253 to 510 mm, allowing adaptation to different cylinder diameters and various transport postures. Adjustment is generally done using bolts or clamps, requiring only a few minutes and no special tools other than a standard wrench.

What is the useful life of pneumatic wheels in a hospital environment?

The Ø 260 pneumatic wheels typically have a lifespan of 2–4 years in a hospital environment, with average usage intensity (2–5 hours per day). The duration depends on the frequency of use, the type of flooring (tiles, resin, linoleum) and maintenance (regular inflation). Monthly visual checks are recommended.

Is it available in other colours?

The standard colour is Blue RAL 5015. Variants in other colours (white, grey, red) can be ordered depending on the manufacturer’s availability and minimum quantities. Contact the supplier for available options and delivery times.
