Utility

Simple handing and decreasing injuries while moving the gas cylinder is the main utility of this tool. It was engineered in response to reducing physical risks, both to the carrier and gas cylinders. Any industry that compromises with high pressure gas cylinder can benefit from safe gas cylinder handling, some instances are;

• Welding organizations
• Supply and change of BOP closing unit’s bottles
• Nitrogen gas charged bladder-type dampeners
• Large-scale fire suppression system cylinders
• Nitrogen cylinder charge of hydraulic brake accumulators
• Large marine diesel engines with air-start-systems
• Gas production chemical companies
• Hospitals and laboratories
• Compressed air cylinder used on lifeboats
• Mining and offshore/onshore gas industry

Function

For operating the Gas Grab, firstly the administrator must make sure to choose the right size of GasGrab and then apply the correct process for lfting the compressed gas cylinder. The operator also must make sure that they are competent to handle and maneuver the cylinder, by assessing the cylinder’s size and weight that is meant to be lifted. The most important factor while using the GasGrab lifter is recognizing its mechanism and using the correct application to grab both handles to apply equal upwards pressure at the same time; this is the core mechanism of the scissor cylinder lifting clamp action which clings to the body of the cylinder. Here are some steps to follow for the optimum functionality, according to the gas cylinder safety instruction;

• Make sure of the markings on the cylinder grabber for the upwards facing side; this feature ensures the correct attachment and avoiding losing grips and incident while transferring the cylinder
• After instalment, make sure to press the tool down to reach a secure and comfortable lifting position
• Our experts suggest the gas grabber’s best lifting point is right above the center of any upright cylinder; this contribute to both an even weight distribution to share the load, balance as well as the operator’s posture correction for the lifter.
• Then the operator must ensure to lift both handles in a skyward motion; the gas grab is designed with scissor cylinder clamps to create a tight fit. It is important to remember the grip mechanism and avoid relaxing the upwards handle pressure, in order to prevent the gas grab cylinder clamp’s loss of grip.
• As mentioned previously, you can give up the grip by releasing the upward pressure on both handles, and a slight press down
• Control must be practiced in all stages of cylinder gas lifting; lift off from the floor, while carrying, and after setting down.
• The cylinder grabber is meant for short distance moving or lifting. If you and your team are new to the gas grabber, please read the instructions and follow through to get the best and safest results.
