If you have purchased a semi-automatic welding machine, then you will need to take care of purchasing a trolley for transporting the cylinder.
However, it is not necessary to buy it. It’s much cheaper to do it yourself. As the main material, you can use a profile pipe.
A homemade trolley for transporting a gas cylinder is convenient in that it has compact dimensions, and it, along with the cylinder, can be easily placed in the car interior (if there is a back door).

Design features
For the manufacture of the trolley, only 6 meters of a square profile pipe 20x20 mm and four wheels assembled with brackets will be required.
What kind of parts you need to make and how much will be needed can be seen in the drawing.
Please note that part No. 9 in the drawing should be cut at an angle of 22.5 degrees, not 45!
After you have prepared all the necessary details, you can begin to manufacture the trolley. Then it will be necessary to weld the wheels.
At the last stage, we clean the seams and paint the metal so that the trolley lasts longer.
The detailed process of manufacturing a simple home-made trolley for transporting a gas cylinder can be seen in the video on our website.
