Has anyone thought about why the professionals transport gas bottles
vertically?
Yes, I asked the guys who used to deliver N2 and Argon gas for my
HPLC and CO2 for our tissue culture hoods. They said they can
transport more that way and they are easier to lift and roll into
place when vertical. They also have slick screw on protective caps.
I've had two drivers from Air Liquide tell me they have seen
cylinders take drops from the back of the truck down to loading dock
and were just fine. They have the extra advantage of custom racks
and tie down straps that keep the cylinders in place w/o moving which
we usually don't for our cars.
