Propane Tank Storage Cabinet with Glide Out Shelves, Lift Assist Crane & Hoist

Propane tanks are among the heaviest and most awkward cylinders that warehouse employees handle, and improper lifting is a leading cause of back injuries and lost-time accidents. Our 5′ H x 36″ D x 45″ W propane tank storage cabinet (Part # 5MD-3645-100-3S) is engineered to bring the load directly to the worker. With 100% drawer extension and 1,000-lb shelf capacities, the glide-out shelves roll forward smoothly, eliminating the need for employees to reach, twist, or strain to grab cylinders stored deep inside. This design removes the physical stress associated with handling propane tanks.

The cabinet features a vented enclosure, locking doors, and standard autolocks for safety and security. The key advantage comes from presenting tanks at waist-level working height. Instead of bending or lifting from the ground, employees can stage, inspect, load, and unload propane cylinders using proper posture. The result is safer handling that supports OSHA-compliant material-handling practices and minimizes the potential for back injuries, hernias, and cumulative trauma disorders.

The optional Propane Storage Arm – Lift Assist Crane & Hoist (Part # PTSC-LIFT-ASSIST) provides additional protection and transforms the cabinet into a fully assisted lifting workstation. The integrated trolley hoist stand, lifting hooks, structural post, and pivoting I-beam arm provide 100-lb lifting capacity. This lets workers raise and lower propane tanks with mechanical assistance instead of physical strength. The built-in lift assist is helpful when transferring cylinders on and off forklifts, where employees face the greatest risk of awkward lifting.

The glide-out shelves and lift-assist crane create a complete solution that protects employees while improving workflow. Warehouses can eliminate the repetitive lifting that leads to downtime and workers’ compensation claims. Instead of treating propane handling as a high-risk task, operations can turn it into a safe and efficient process using equipment engineered for human ergonomics. These propane tank storage cabinets deliver value by protecting your workforce and supporting a more productive warehouse.
