SAFTCART
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about SAFTCART from 3G Electric.
What is the difference between SAFTCART side-by-side and back-to-back cylinder hand trucks?
SAFTCART side-by-side hand trucks position two cylinders next to each other, with nose plate widths typically 24 inches and depths of 13 inches. Back-to-back models place cylinders front-to-back, with nose plate dimensions such as 20 in W x 20 in D or 10 in W x 10 in D. The choice depends on space constraints and the desired center of gravity. Side-by-side units often have higher load capacities, up to 1,000 lb, while back-to-back models are available in 400 lb capacities. Both types use either chain or Perma Clamp securing mechanisms.
What securing mechanisms are available on SAFTCART cylinder hand trucks?
SAFTCART cylinder hand trucks use either a chain or a Perma Clamp securing mechanism. Chain-secured models use a chain to hold cylinders in place, while Perma Clamp models use a clamping system. Both are designed to secure cylinders during transport. The securing mechanism is specified per model; for example, SKU 5WXF1 uses a chain, while SKU 5WXF3 uses a Perma Clamp. Selection depends on user preference and cylinder type.
What are the load capacities of SAFTCART cylinder hand trucks?
SAFTCART cylinder hand trucks are available with load capacities of 400 lb, 780 lb, and 1,000 lb. Capacity varies by model and configuration. For instance, the 400 lb models include SKU 5WXF1 (back-to-back) and SKU 5WXL1 (side-by-side). The 780 lb models include SKU 5WXF3 and SKU 5WXK9, both side-by-side. The 1,000 lb models include SKU 45PC86 and SKU 5WXF4, also side-by-side. Always verify the capacity matches the combined weight of cylinders and any accessories.
What are the nose plate dimensions for SAFTCART hand trucks?
Nose plate dimensions vary by model. Common sizes include 24 in W x 13 in D for side-by-side models, 20 in W x 20 in D for some back-to-back models, and 10 in W x 10 in D for other back-to-back models. The nose plate supports the cylinders and must be sized appropriately for the cylinder diameter and quantity. For example, SKU 5WXF2 has a 24 in W x 13 in D nose plate, while SKU 5WXL0 has a 10 in W x 10 in D nose plate.
Are SAFTCART cylinder hand trucks suitable for welding gas cylinders?
Yes, SAFTCART cylinder hand trucks are commonly used for transporting welding gas cylinders. The Firewall Welding Cylinder Hand Truck series is specifically designed for this purpose. These trucks are available in two-cylinder configurations, either side-by-side or back-to-back, and include securing mechanisms to hold cylinders during movement. They are used in welding and industrial settings where cylinders must be moved between storage and work areas. The steel construction and green finish are typical of the line.
