Handling the Container

The XL Series containers are very rugged liquid cylinders. All cryogenic liquid containers

have an inner container and an outer container with an insulated vacuum space between

them. Any abuse (dents, dropping, tip-over, etc.) can effect the integrity of the containers

insulation system.

When fully loaded, the XL-55HP in argon service will contain up to 518 lb (235 kg) of

product. While moving a full container, you may be handling up to 805 lb. (365 kg), and

you should treat the load accordingly. The attachment points provided on the XL-45HP/

50HP/55HP/50VHP will allow you to use a hand truck or a hoist to handle these loads

properly. Do not attempt to move these cylinders by any other means. While moving the

cylinder, the following precautions should be observed:

Never lay the container on its side. Always ship, operate, and store the unit in a

vertical, or upright position.

When loading or unloading the container from a truck, use a hand truck, lift gate,

crane, or parallel loading dock. Never attempt to manually lift the unit.

To move the container over rough surfaces, or to lift the container, attach an appropri-

ate sling to the lifting points cut into the welded support posts, and use a portable

lifting device that will handle the weight of the container and its contents.
