How to maneuver and load Gas Bottles/Cylinders

This is how to move gas bottles safely and easily. The trick is to put your wrong hand (if you are right handed then use your left because this doesn't accidentally turn the valve when rolling it) on the top of the valve and kick the bottom of the cylinder with your right foot. Do this with the inside of your heel (like a soccer pass kick) and if you get a bit better then also kick with the point of your left boot.

@aceon06 All safety procedures were adhered to according to Australian safety standards. These change all the time but you would have seen that if you had read the blurb at the top. Thanks for the concern though

LET IT FALL applies to every industry where these are moved like this, if it gets away from you you are to let it fall do not risk back injury by trying to catch it on its way down. they are designed so that if they tip over the valves will not take the impact, thats why they are more narrow at the top.

@aceon06 that IS how you move cylinders at airgas, that is how they teach you to move them. how else are you going to move a 300lb tank sir? we dont use a dolly unless its 25ft or more away from where its going. and if you want to use a dolly all day try it for an hour see how easy it is.
