Who cares - the owners will be drinking rum punch on their Caribbean islands unable to spend what they’ve made as it is!

why grunt when you have mechanical handling on tap
one of the reasons I've been after a fork lift for a while ... jump on and lift .. quicker than winding up the 'Drema for odds an' sods

the 'dip tube' in them has a 90 deg bend on the tip and extends to the bottom of the tank ... 's why there's an arrow on the bottom of the bottles for orientation to keep the tip at the bottom of the liquid whether vertical or horizontalUpright bottle?

Not lazy your body will thank you further down the line

only if they're 'liquid withdrawal' type (i.e. designed for FLT use) all others are vapour discharge ... can get vapour out of FLT bottle if you stand it upside down or with the arrow facing up, on its side
conversely all vapour discharge will give liquid if stood upside down
's why you never lay a propane or DA bottle on its side if using it for oxy cutting - always stood up or you'll possibly/probably get a liquid discharge depending on how full/empty it is
CO2 bottles are similar some are vapour, others are liquid and have a dip tube to the very bottom of the cylinder - can usually hear it rattle when bowling them about.

always used to say the same to my blokes ... " if it's a grunt of a lift get a fork truck and use it - we've got five - don't struggle " was better than having 'em off sick, with a bad back

Soon to be let the robot lift it. These fire doors arent getting lighter have some 44mm atm that seem heavier than the 54mm 1 hr ones. How long till these robots are main stream?
