1421-0036 - Western Enterprises TT-MCR Polyethylene Tote for MC and R Cylinders

Technical Overview of the Western Enterprises TT-MCR Tank Tote

The Western Enterprises TT-MCR Tank Tote is a specialized cylinder carrier engineered specifically for the safe and efficient transport of oxy-fuel gas cylinders used in light-duty welding, brazing, and soldering applications. This unit is dimensionally molded to accommodate one "MC" style acetylene cylinder (approximately 10 cubic feet) and one "R" style oxygen cylinder (approximately 20 cubic feet). The precise molding ensures a snug interference fit or strap-secured placement, minimizing cylinder movement during transit, which is critical for maintaining valve integrity and safety standards.

Manufactured from high-density polyethylene (HDPE), the TT-MCR offers distinct mechanical advantages over traditional steel carriers. The polymer construction renders the unit impervious to oxidation, chemical corrosion, and moisture, significantly extending its service life in harsh industrial or outdoor environments. Furthermore, the material is non-sparking and non-conductive, adding an essential layer of safety when working in volatile environments or near electrical hazards. The unibody design incorporates structural reinforcement ribs to handle the weight of full cylinders without flexing or cracking.

Functionally, the tote integrates essential utility features directly into the mold. A dedicated hose wrap section allows for the orderly coiling of twin welding hoses, preventing kinking and damage to the hose lining. Additionally, a recessed storage pocket is provided to house essential ignition sources like flint strikers or maintenance tools such as tip cleaners. The ergonomic handle is positioned to maintain the center of gravity when loaded, ensuring stability during manual lifting. This product is an essential logistical accessory for MRO (Maintenance, Repair, and Operations) professionals requiring mobile gas delivery systems.
