It is used to store gases and chemicals that are highly flammable and hazardous, such as oxygen, acetylene, and nitrogen among others. Because of its contents, these cylinders must be handled and stored properly to avoid unwanted accidents.
Cylinder storage such as safety cabinets, lockers, racks and holders are used to avoid any potential hazard. These storage options allow cylinders to be stored vertically or horizontally, away from frequent disturbance and from other elements that may cause accidents.
Lockers, racks and cabinets are usually made with heavy-gauge mesh and double-welded metal frames. These cylinder storage options can handle multiple cylinders and can completely isolate them for safe storage. Cylinder holders on the other hand are made with steel bar that has polypropylene strap that holds individual cylinders to prevent them from rolling and moving around. Most favored brands of cylinder storage are Meco, JustRite and Relius Solutions.
