OVERVIEW

Heavy-Duty Single Cylinder Transport Solution

The W-8S-3 Single Cylinder Cart is an essential piece of material handling equipment designed for the safe and efficient transport of high-pressure gas cylinders. Unlike standard two-wheel hand trucks, this model is engineered with a specialized third wheel (rear caster). This innovative design feature transforms the cart into a stable tripod when tilted back, allowing the rear wheel to support the bulk of the cylinder's weight. This significantly reduces physical strain on the operator, making it ideal for facilities where cylinders must be moved over longer distances or frequently throughout the day.

Constructed from robust steel, the W-8S-3 is built to withstand the rigors of industrial environments, including welding shops, medical facilities, and construction sites. It is sized to accommodate one medium or large cylinder, such as standard 244cf Oxygen, 300cf Argon, or similar industrial gas tanks. The cylinder is secured firmly in place with a heavy-duty safety chain, preventing accidental slips or falls during movement.

Maintenance-Free Mobility

One of the standout features of this cart is its solid rubber tires. In industrial settings where debris like metal shavings, nails, or sharp gravel is common, pneumatic tires are prone to punctures. The solid tires on the W-8S-3 eliminate this risk entirely, ensuring that the cart is always operational and never requires air pressure checks or patch repairs. The combination of large main wheels and the swivel rear caster provides excellent maneuverability, allowing for tight turns in confined shop spaces.

FAQ

The W-8S-3 is designed to hold one medium or large high-pressure cylinder, such as standard K, T, or S size tanks (e.g., 244cf Oxygen or 300cf Argon).

The 3rd wheel, or rear caster, supports the weight of the cylinder when the cart is tilted back. This relieves the operator from bearing the load, improving ergonomics and safety.

This cart features solid rubber tires, which are puncture-proof and require no maintenance, making them ideal for shop environments with sharp debris.

Yes, the cart includes a safety chain to securely strap the cylinder to the frame during transport.

Yes, as long as the acetylene cylinder falls within the medium to large size range (e.g., #4 or #5 acetylene), it can be transported on this cart.

The rear 3rd wheel is typically a swivel caster, which aids in steering and maneuvering the cart when it is in the tilted/transport position.

The cart is constructed from heavy-duty steel with a durable finish to withstand industrial use.

These carts often ship partially assembled; you may need to attach the wheels and the rear caster assembly upon receipt.
