An apparatus provides a means by which a heavy cylindrical object, such as a gas cylinder, may be manually moved by a single person from a vertical standing position in a first location to a second location and, if desired, raised and placed on a storage shelf or platform. The apparatus has clamping mechanism which clamps around the girth of the cylindrical object. Once the cylindrical object is secured within the clamping mechanism, a manual force applied to one end of the cylindrical causes the clamping mechanism and the cylindrical object to pivot, raising the bottom of the cylindrical object from the surface upon which it stands. The apparatus, having ground engaging wheels, may then be pushed to the second location.

A torch cart includes a base for supporting first and second storage tanks, a wall provided between the tanks for separating the tanks, a container for housing a torch, a pair of holsters for holding a pair of fire extinguishers, and a hands-free striker mounted to the cart for igniting the torch. The hands-free striker has a tip and a friction pad for passing a torch tip over and igniting the torch.

Described herein is a multiple use assistive cart to aid in a users mobility. The cart includes a base portion with a plurality of wheels for movement and a center portion with a plurality of apertures. The apertures allowing for the attachment of multiple assistive devices including but not limited to, baskets, bags, IV holders, oxygen holders, and other similar items.

Disclosed example adjustable welding carts include: a base having a front assembly and a rear assembly; the front assembly including: front wheels, a front support platform having a front end and a rear end, and two parallel rails, each rail having a front end fixedly attached to the front support platform; and the rear assembly including: rear wheels, a rear support platform having a front end and a rear end, and two rail channels opening proximate the front end of the rear support platform, each rail channel extending through the length of the rear support platform and configured to receive the rear end of one of the two parallel rails. The welding cart can transition between a plurality of different length configurations by adjusting the position of the rails with respect to the rail channels, including between configurations supporting a welding-type power supply with or without a gas bottle.
