Product Description and Features for Transport Rack
Our concrete cylinder carrying rack is designed to transport and store 4” x 8” test cylinders. Made from durable molded plastic, this rack has molded handles for easy and secure transport. Holds 8 cylinders at a time, perfect for multiple cylinders in one trip. Plastic construction will not deteriorate or corrode in water, great for any environment. Companion cylinders can be kept together in same case for curing, simplifies testing.
Safe Storage and Handling Considerations
When storing and handling concrete cylinders you need to consider the safety and security of the cylinders to prevent damage and get accurate test results. Our concrete cylinder carrying rack is designed to store and transport cylinders safely, to prevent damage during handling and transport. The rack’s sturdy construction and design prevents cylinders from shifting or falling, reducing damage and injury. And the rack’s resistance and waterproof design makes it good for outdoor bulk cylinder storage. When storing gas cylinders you need to follow proper safety protocols and our rack meets those requirements, a safe and secure storage solution for gas cylinders.
Transport and Handling Guidelines
When transporting and handling concrete cylinders you need to follow guidelines to prevent accidents and the integrity of the test specimens. Here are some guidelines:
-
Use of Carrying Racks: Use a carrying rack designed for concrete cylinders, like a gas cylinder storage rack or concrete cylinder transport rack. These racks are designed to prevent damage to the cylinders during transport and to handle multiple cylinders.
-
Weight Capacity: Make sure the carrying rack is designed to handle the weight of the concrete cylinders. Overloading the rack can cause accidents and damage to the cylinders and compromise their integrity.
-
Storage: Store concrete cylinders in a safe and secure location, away from high pressure areas and hazards. Outdoor bulk cylinder storage or a designated storage area with proper ventilation is best for keeping the cylinders safe and sound.
-
Handling Multiple Cylinders: When handling multiple cylinders use a cylinder rack or a gas cylinder stand to prevent them from rolling or falling. This will prevent damage to the cylinders and storage.
-
Pre-Drilled Holes: Make sure the carrying rack has pre-drilled holes for easy and secure transport. This will prevent the cylinders from shifting during transport and reduce accidents.
-
Powder Coated and Chemical Resistance: Choose a carrying rack made from powder coated or chemical resistant material to prevent corrosion and damage from chemicals or harsh environments. This will keep the rack long lasting.
-
Welded Steel Construction: Consider a carrying rack made from welded steel for extra strength and durability. This will be a safe and secure way to transport and store concrete cylinders, keeping them intact.
-
Test Cylinder Safety: When handling test cylinders make sure they are secure in the carrying rack to prevent damage or loss during transport. This is critical for accurate test results.
-
Cylinder Capacity: Make sure the carrying rack is designed for the correct cylinder capacity. Overloading the rack can cause accidents and damage to the cylinders and compromise their integrity.
-
Inspection: Inspect the carrying rack and concrete cylinders regularly for any signs of damage or wear. This will prevent accidents and storage and transport.
Follow these guidelines and you’ll be transporting and handling concrete cylinders safely, no accidents and no damage to the test specimens. Use of cylinder storage racks and weight capacity and resistance standards will keep your concrete cylinders intact.
