Gas bottle cage

Lowe’s gas bottle cage provides a dedicated, secure solution for the safe storage of pressurised gas cylinders. Constructed with a reinforced steel frame and mesh cladding, the cage offers full 360° ventilation to safely disperse minor leaks, while forming a robust barrier around your bottles. A lockable hinged door allows easy access for authorised personnel, helping to prevent tampering or theft. Standard sizes range from 2 4 bottle units to larger industrial models capable of storing a dozen or more cylinders. Lowe also offers a two tier cage design for shorter bottles, maximising capacity within the same footprint.

All models feature a stable steel base or pallet style floor to raise bottles from the ground. Forklift pockets are integrated into many designs for effortless movement around site. Galvanised or powder coated finishes ensure long term durability in outdoor conditions, while internal restraints such as chains or dividers protect individual bottles during handling or transit.

Key features

Heavy duty mesh construction

The steel mesh walls (typically 50×50 mm aperture) allow for airflow and visibility, preventing gas build up and enabling quick inspections without opening the door. The mesh is strong enough to deter access, while ensuring excellent ventilation.

Lockable access door

Each cage includes a secure door with padlock fittings, allowing easy access for handling cylinders and complete security when closed. Larger models may feature twin doors or integral locks.

Internal cylinder restraints

Chains, straps or divider bars are installed to keep cylinders upright and separated. This minimises the risk of tipping or impact, even during transport or partial loading.

Forklift friendly base

Most models come with built in fork pockets or pallet bases, allowing movement with forklifts or pallet trucks. Load rated bases safely carry the weight of multiple full bottles.

Weather resistant finish

All cages are finished in galvanised steel or powder coating to withstand rust and UV exposure. Optional roof panels prevent rainwater build up and provide shade to reduce sun exposure on valves and fittings.

Benefits

Improved safety and compliance

Properly ventilated, upright storage of cylinders significantly reduces risk. Cages ensure compliance with safety legislation and HSE guidance, especially for flammable or pressurised gases.

Security against theft and misuse

Robust construction and lockable access protect valuable cylinders from theft, tampering or unauthorised handling, especially on open or remote sites.

Organised, visible storage

The cage provides a tidy, centralised storage area for easy monitoring of cylinder stock. See through mesh makes it simple to check levels and labelling.

Relocatable design

Integrated forklift pockets make these cages easy to move across a site or load onto vehicles, ideal for construction, industrial or mobile gas requirements.

Protects bottles and fittings

Cages prevent bottles from falling or sustaining impact damage. Elevated bases and optional roofs protect against moisture, debris and sun exposure.

Frequently asked questions

What types of cylinders can be stored?

Our cages are suitable for propane, oxygen, acetylene, nitrogen and other pressurised gases in standard sized bottles. We can customise for unusual dimensions or usage scenarios.

Can I transport cylinders in the cage?

Yes. The forklift compatible design allows loaded cages to be lifted and transported securely. Ensure the cage is strapped during vehicle transport for safety.

How many bottles will a cage hold?

This depends on cylinder size and cage model. Typical cages store 4 12 cylinders. We also offer two tier designs for shorter cylinders and custom builds for larger quantities.

Are the cages weatherproof?

Yes. Galvanised or powder coated finishes protect the structure. Optional roofs and drainage friendly floors help shield cylinders from water and UV damage.
