A well-known charity organisation based in Leeds is responsible for the conservation and operation of an historic estate, which serves as both a public attraction and a hub for cultural, educational and environmental activities. The estate requires the use of Calor gas cylinders for various operational purposes across the site. The on-site health and safety officer had rightly flagged up a risk so they were keen to hastily install a method of storing small cylinders around their site in a safe and secure manner. As requested, we sent a representative to assess their needs. Here is what our guy found when he arrived on site:
Now that could be seen as being inventive but it is hardly secure and certainly not safe! In fact, how easy would it be for anybody to just turn the roll pallet up vertically and wheel it away?
We quickly got to work and recommended a suitable solution to the client. We designed and manufactured a dedicated gas cylinder storage cage. The finished unit was a durable, secure cage, powder coated in bright red for visibility and corrosion resistance. Built to withstand the elements and frequent use, the new cage ensures their gas cylinders are now stored safely and correctly.
Why correct gas cylinder storage matters
Proper storage of gas cylinders is essential to ensure the safety of personnel, the public and the surrounding environment. Cylinders must be stored upright, in a well-ventilated area, away from heat sources and protected from unauthorised access or accidental damage. A purpose-built cage offers all of these protections, significantly reducing the risk of fire, explosion or injury.
At Action Handling, we’ve been designing and manufacturing quality storage and handling equipment for over five decades. Our products are engineered with safety, longevity and compliance in mind. Built to perform and built to last! Security storage cages come in all shapes and sizes and can not only store gas cylinders but just about any hazardous or valuable items.
These are just a few of the styles that are available:
