Or just... get one of the hand trucks they make for gas cylinders so you don't get stopped by a pebble
Oh, but then the company would have to spend more money and the CEO would have an ever so slightly smaller stock portfolio.
Eh, one gas cylinder related accident would bankrupt many companies, and spending the grand total of $300 per cart would greatly speed up productivity and safety, which saves a lot of money.
Getting a few cylinder carts is also a lot cheaper than paver your work yard with concrete, like on the scale of tens of thousands of dollars. That's the kind of money that a C suite would notice or care about.
I work in science and we use Co2 tanks for culturing cells. I think of this gif every time I need to change a tank
EDIT: fixed what I typed while having a stroke lol
😅 either this is the weirdest autocorrect ever or you had a stroke or I missed a joke 😅
Seems dangerous. If those fall over they can break open and turn into a rocket. Enough energy to blast through walls and kill people.
They fall over all the time. I used to do this exact thing. We would load/unload semi-truck trailers from the loading dock, and bring them into and out of the gas filling rooms. We used this technique because it was more efficient.
When I first started there, the first thing my boss did was to take two cylinders like he was going to start rolling them, and then let them fall forward with a loud clang! He did this to show that it wasn't going to do anything by itself, and that trying to catch them was going to hurt you more. Cylinders fell over all of the time. They are pretty stout, and are thoroughly inspected every time they are refilled, and are either hydrotested or ultrasonically tested routinely (depending on the type of cylinder).
The only time they are really going to give you grief is when they don't have the cap affixed.
