Forklift & BBQ Cylinder Cages - common questions

Do I need a cage to store propane cylinders?
Most jurisdictions require exchange and forklift cylinders to be stored outdoors in a ventilated, lockable enclosure away from ignition sources. Our cages ship with the required hazard decals and footpads for bolt anchoring. Cages ship by freight to any address in the 48 contiguous states.
How much do propane cylinder storage cages cost?
We currently stock 4 options in this range, starting at $720.00. Pricing is factory direct, and orders over $2,000 ship free unless the item requires freight delivery.
How do I pay for my order?
Place your order online and pay securely by card through Stripe. Your receipt and itemised invoice arrive by email the moment the payment goes through, and your order moves straight into processing.
How is delivery handled?
Smaller parts ship by parcel carrier. Tanks and cages ship by freight, and the carrier calls ahead to arrange a delivery window. Freight cost depends on your site access, so we confirm the charge and your final total before you send payment.

Why cylinder cages, and which one

Once a business holds more than a cylinder or two, loose storage stops being acceptable: most jurisdictions require exchange and forklift cylinders to live outdoors in a ventilated, lockable enclosure, away from ignition sources and building openings. A purpose-built cage answers that in one purchase - ventilation by design, a lockable door, hazard decals fitted, and footpads for anchoring.

Choose by cylinder type and count. Forklift cages here hold twelve 33.5 lb cylinders, the standard motive-power size; BBQ exchange cages hold eighteen 20 lb grill cylinders, the configuration used outside forecourts and stores. Both are sized so cylinders sit upright with room for hands and valves.

Steel is the value choice and takes hard knocks; aluminum costs more up front but cannot rust, which decides it for coastal sites and anywhere the cage lives uncovered. Verify your storage arrangement against NFPA 58 and your local fire code - your inspector will care about location and signage as much as the cage itself. Cages ship by freight to any address in the 48 contiguous states.
