The Miller EZ-Latch Dual Cylinder Rack with Elevated Gun & Cable Rack (301481) is a critical upgrade for professional fabricators utilizing the Millermatic 255 or Multimatic 255 welding platforms. Designed to integrate seamlessly with the standard EZ-Latch running gear (#301449), this kit transforms a single-cylinder setup into a versatile dual-cylinder station. This capability is essential for operators who frequently switch between welding processes—such as transitioning from standard steel MIG welding (requiring C25 gas) to aluminum MIG or TIG welding (requiring 100% Argon)—eliminating the downtime associated with physically swapping out heavy gas cylinders.
One of the standout engineering features of this rack is Miller's proprietary "Bottle Forward" technology. Traditional welding carts often suffer from center-of-gravity issues when loaded with heavy high-pressure cylinders, creating a tipping hazard when the welder is removed or the cart is moved over uneven surfaces. The EZ-Latch design shifts the cylinder placement forward, ensuring the running gear remains stable and planted, even when fully loaded with two cylinders and without the power source attached. This design consideration significantly enhances shop safety and equipment stability.
Beyond cylinder storage, this accessory addresses one of the most common frustrations in the welding environment: cable management. The included elevated gun and cable rack provides dedicated hanging points for MIG guns, TIG torches, and work leads. By keeping these cables elevated and organized, the system prevents tangling, reduces the risk of kinking the liner within MIG guns, and protects expensive torches from being stepped on or damaged by shop debris. The rack is constructed from durable steel, ensuring it can withstand the rigors of daily industrial use while maintaining a compact footprint that does not impede the mobility of the EZ-Latch system.
This kit is not a universal aftermarket add-on but a purpose-built component for the Miller EZ-Latch ecosystem. It installs directly onto the existing running gear frame, maintaining the modular nature of the equipment. For workshops where floor space is at a premium and versatility is paramount, the 301481 Dual Cylinder Rack is an indispensable asset that streamlines workflow and protects your investment.
