If you store gas cylinders on your property, it’s important to take steps to ensure their safety. A gas cylinder cage can provide a number of benefits, including:
The gas cylinder cages are specially designed to protect your gas cylinders from external threats and potential hazards.
The gas cylinder cages are made from steel and can be bolted to the ground for extra security. They typically have a pad-lockable door to keep unauthorized people out.
All the gas cylinder cages use the low carbon steel raw material, the square tube to weld the heavy-duty frames, and the high-strength wire to weld the whole mesh panel.
The steel gas cylinder cage frame is made of a 30mmx30mm square tube, all the wire mesh holes are 50mmx50mm with a 3mm wire diameter. We provide different dimensions to the customer and we also can be customized it to your request. Welcome to email us.
Our product availability also has gas cylinder cabinets that also can protect your gas cylinder, the difference between the gas cylinder cages and gas cylinder cabinets is that the gas cylinder cabinets are bigger than the cages, which can load more gas bottles in the gas cylinder cages.
The gas cylinder cabinets make the middle shelves load more gas cylinders and it is tall, and all the shelves are made of steel durability sheets. normally the shelves make the horizontal type, it can add 2 or 3 layers to make the gas cylinder cabinets.
The gas cylinder cabinet is the one that can load more gas bottles, which is taller and has shelves to store horizontal-type gas cylinders. It is made of steel for durability and has a pad-lockable door for security.
The gas cylinder cabinet is also made of a steel heavy-duty frame with a strong wire diameter, it is taller and bigger than the cage, which can load 50% more gas bottles. The shelves are made of steel which can support the horizontal gas cylinders.
There are many reasons why you might need gas cylinder cages.
A gas cylinder cage can deter thieves from trying to steal your cylinders. If they’re securely locked up by a safety chain, would-be thieves are less likely to target them.
The gas cylinder cage also makes it more difficult for thieves to access your cylinders and, if they’re unsuccessful in stealing them, can make it easier for you to find and recover your cylinders.
All the gas cylinder cages or cabinets are made of steel frames, it is durable for the thieves to access the cage, all the gas cylinder cabinets or cage door are secure by the padlock, so the gas bottles are difficult to be stolen. The gas cylinder cages or cabinets will help to reduce the risk of theft if you sell gas cylinders or have them on your property for customers to use.
Gas cylinder cages can help to prevent accidental damage to your cylinders. If they’re stored in a cage, they’re less likely to be knocked over or otherwise damaged. Especially the compressed gas cylinders, they are easier to an explosion by the knocked over and otherwise damaged.
After that, if you have a fire on your property, the steel construction of the cage can help to protect your cylinders from heat and flames.
In the event of a severe weather event, such as a tornado or hurricane, gas cylinder cages, and gas cylinder cabinets can help to keep your cylinders from being blown away or damaged by debris.
Additionally, by keeping your cylinders locked up, you can help prevent children from getting access to them and potentially harming themselves.
If the compressed gas cylinders are out of the gas cylinder cabinets or gas storage cage that will be very dangerous for your workers. Because compressed gas cylinders are easy to explode under the pressure, if you accidentally bump into compressed gas cylinders, it will be unpredictable and dangerous.
Heavy duty steel gas cylinder cabinets are secure and durable for storage of the gas cylinder, it will be more secure for the customer.
If a new worker comes into your workplace, the gas cylinder cabinets or cage can protect the gas bottles to be mistook by the new workers.
You can make the sign on the cage to show the details.
By keeping the cylinders locked up, you can help to prevent people from taking them without permission.
Many countries have regulations governing the storage of gas cylinders. A gas cylinder cage will help you comply with these regulations.
The government will ask every company to obey gas bottles using guides. Gas cylinder cabinets and cages should put the sign out of the cage to identify the gas they contain.
Each sign should include the warning, item number, etc. Normally the sign is made of aluminum material, this type of sign is lightweight and fire prevention.
Gas cylinders are designed to withstand extreme temperatures, but they can be damaged by exposure to the elements. gas cylinder cage help to protect cylinders from rain, snow, and wind. Keeps cylinders organized: Cages can help you keep your gas cylinders organized and in one place.
Now that you know the benefits of gas cylinder cabinets and cages, how do you choose the right one for your needs?
There are a few things to consider when selecting a gas cylinder cage:
– The type of gas cylinders you have
– The size of your cylinders
– The number of cylinders you need to store
– The location of your cage
– Whether you need a weatherproof cage
– Your budget
Let me explain one by one to you as below:
Let me give you one explanation from Wikipedia: In the United States, “bottled gas” typically refers to liquefied petroleum gas. “Bottled gas” is sometimes used in medical supply, especially for portable oxygen tanks. Packaged industrial gases are frequently called “cylinder gas”, though “bottled gas” is sometimes used. The term propane tank is also used for cylinders with propane.
The United Kingdom and other parts of Europe more commonly refer to “bottled gas” when discussing any usage, whether industrial, medical, or liquefied petroleum. In contrast, what is called liquefied petroleum gas in the United States is known generically in the United Kingdom as “LPG” and it may be ordered by using one of several trade names, specifically butane or propane, depending on the required heat output.
1. Metal only. Mostly seamless forged metal. But for lower working pressure,e.g., liquefied butane, there are welded steel vessels, too.
This type of cylinder disadvantage is too heavy due to all metal and the advantage is durable. It is mostly used in the industry that does not need to move the cylinder, that will be the permanent cylinder. And the Gas station also likes to use this type of cylinder, it is heavy and not easy to move, but it is cheap.
2. Metal and aluminum vessel, hoop wrapped with a fiber composite.
This type cost is a little higher than the full metal type cylinders, but the weight is lighter than the full metal cylinders. If you want to move the gas cylinder and do not have much budget, you can choose this type of cylinder.
3. Thin metal liner (that keeps the vessel tight, but does not contribute to the working pressure) fully wrapped with fibre in the matrix material.
This type of gas cylinder is lighter than the hoop-wrapped aluminium with a fibre composite. But this type of gas cylinder cost is not very higher, it is easy to move and the price is reasonable compared to the other types. So this type of gas cylinder is most popular than other types.
The lightweight this type of gas cylinder, is an ideal application for home oxygen therapy and for medical oxygen cylinders in ambulances.
4. Metal-free liner from plastics, fully wrapped with fibre material. This type of gas cylinder is a special type and do not widely used now. It is mostly used in the military.
Here are the common cylinder dimensions below from Wikipedia:
Size | Diameter x Height | Nominal tare weight | Water capacity |
XP | 10 by 55 inches (250mm x 1400mm) | 55 lbs (25 kg) | 124 |

B | 8.5 by 31 inches (220mm x 790mm) | 60 lbs (27kg) | 37.9 |
AL | 8 by 53 inches (200mm x 1350mm) | 52 lbs (24kg) | 64.8 |
You will know how much lbs of gas you will need to use, and you also know each cylinder can fill how much lbs of gas, so you will know how many cylinders you will need, and then it is easy to calculate the number of cylinders you need to store.
The location of the cage placement is very important, not only needs to be dry but also needs to be low temperature, not have direct sunlight, and away from fire sources.
So when you want to store your gas cylinder, the place should be cool with no sunshine directly, and leaving the road and fire sources away is better, so that will be the best price to put your gas cylinder cage.
If you choose to store your cylinders where there will be direct sunlight or frequent rain, then you will have to consider installing a weatherproof cage to solve this problem to keep safe for your place, we can supply the cage with a durable steel sheet on top to provide the weatherproof to give you safe workplace. Welcome to email us for a reasonable price. Or you can order from us directly.
This will be a good question, do you know a gas cylinder cage or cabinets, normally the gas cylinder cage can fill some small cylinders with one door, and the cabinets can load some tall cylinders. And the cabinets are mostly made of steel sheets and the cabinets come with a floor, which can fill heavy-duty cylinders. But the cylinder cage mostly does not provide a floor.
So you can easy to know whether you are the cylinder cage or cabinets.
We have to introduce more information about the gas cylinder cage, now you may wonder how to get the budget for the gas cylinder cage.
First, you need to know the size of your gas cylinder, and how many cylinders or compressed gas cylinders you want to store in the cage.
Whether the government regulation has requested the color. If so, you need to let us know.
The next thing is the thickness of the steel sheet. Normally, we will use the 14-gauge or 12-gauge steel for making gas cylinder cages. If you have a special requirement, please let us know in advance.
Then you need to choose the door type. There are single-door, double doors, and three-door types. The price will be different for each door type.
Then you need to choose the floor or no floor inside the cage. If you want a floor inside the cage, we can weld a steel grating on the bottom of the cage to provide a storage place for heavy-duty cylinders.
Second, you need to decide the location of where you want to place the cage, and whether it needs a weatherproof top. You can tell us where will you put the gas cylinder cages, we will recommend to you whether you need the weatherproof top or not.
Third, You can email us for a reasonable price quote or order from us directly. Or if you have the order history, that will be easier to choose which type of gas cylinder cage you will need.

If you are the wholesaler or distributor for the gas cylinder cage or steel storage gas cage, you will have your own dimensions and size for the gas cylinder cage.
Installation is not a difficult task. If you have some basic engineering knowledge, you can easily install it. But if you don’t know how to install it, we will give some installation tips below:
First of all, according to the dimensions and weight of the cylinders, select an appropriate location for installation. The location should be flat and strong enough to bear the weight of the cylinders.
And the place should no directly sunshine, it should be dry enough, and if the place is cool, that should be better, because the cylinder is like a cool place due to the high-temperature condition.
The important thing that is must far away from the flame sources if, near the flame, it is easy to explore.
The better place should also be far away from the road because if more heavy-duty trucks are coming through, the road will vibrate when the car drives by, which is also dangerous for the cylinder with gas.
Secondly, according to the location, it is better to make concrete, or that must be sturdy soil to let the cylinder easy to stand. Because we need the explosion bolts and nuts to fasten the cylinder cage bottom on the floor. The explosion bolts are long, and if the floor is not strong enough, it is easy to make the cage break away.
If you do not have a concrete floor, you can put the explosion bolts and nuts on the concrete wall, that is also one solution to solve no concrete floor.
so when you make an order, you should let us know where you will put the cylinder cage, so they can give you a suitable installation design.
Thirdly, after making sure the location is ready, we can start to install the cylinder cage bottom according to the location we have set up. Then put all explosion bolts through the pre-drilled holes of the cage bottom and make them come out from the other side of the concrete. After that, we put washers and nuts on the explosion bolts and use a wrench to fasten them.
Or you can put the cage on one side of the wall and make sure all the holes on the wall are aligned with the cage’s holes, then put all explosion bolts through and make them come out from the other side of the wall, put washers and nuts on and use a wrench to fasten them.
Fourthly, assemble all parts of the cage according to instructions or drawings, and then weld them together.
After installation, you should check whether the cage is installed in the right place and whether all parts are complete. If there is any problem, you should solve it in time.
Fifthly, fix the cage to the ground with steel wires or chains. Install the padlock on the cage door.
Finally, test whether the installation is firm and reliable. If it is not installed firmly, it will cause danger when using it.
If you have any problems during installation, please feel free to contact us. We will provide professional guidance to ensure your safety.
The package of the gas cylinder cage is also important. We will use a fumigation-free plywood box to make sure the cylinder cage is in good condition when it reaches you.
The good package can also protect the cylinder cage from being damaged during transportation.
We will also put a layer of foam sheet on the bottom of the plywood box to reduce the impact when it falls accidentally.
In addition, we will use plastic film and bubble paper to wrap the cylinder cage to prevent it from being scratched or deformed by other items in the container.
All these measures are to ensure that you can receive a satisfactory product.
We also have exported many gas cylinder cages to different countries, and we have rich experience in logistics, so you don’t need to worry about the transportation of the cage.
Here are some tips for using your gas cylinder cage safely as below:
-Keep the key to the padlock in a safe place and don’t lose it.
– Inspect the cage regularly to see if there is any damage. If so, repair it in time.
– When using cylinders, pay attention to safety and use them according to regulations.
– Do not store flammable materials near the gas cylinders.
– Make sure the gas cylinder cages are properly fixed to the ground before use.
-Put the sign out of the cylinder cage, the sign can show the item number, dimensions, etc. You can make four holes on the sign’s four corners, then use the plastic wire to fasten the sign on the cage.
These are just a few tips for using your gas cylinder cage safely. For more information, please contact us or email us. We will be happy to help you.
