Why Attollo?
Pressurized gas cylinders are a staple of manufacturing and found in every corner of the industrialized world. However, they present a significant workplace hazard if handled improperly.
What Does It Do? A gas cylinder lifting device that makes it easy to lift and safe to handle pressurized gas cylinders. The Attollo Lift was designed to move gas cylinders weighing up to 450 pounds. The device’s patented design effectively self guides over the cylinder by its own weight then grabs the cylinder immediately as the device is pulled upward.
Sized for 4-14 inch diameter gas cylinders, the Attollo Lift and Cradle comply with ASME B30.20, Below-the-Hook Lifting Devices, requirements. The devices are designated as Design Category A and Service Class 0 (<20,000 cycles).
“US Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, reports that pressurized containers caused over 5,000 injuries and 17 fatalities within a single calendar year.”
