Lifting a 300CF bottle

admin

Hopefully I'm not asking a stupid question.  I'm new to the forum and new to welding.  I was gifted a 300CF bottle of Argon.  I had it filled and man that thing is heavy.  I'm 57 years old and lifting heavy things like this without any sort of a handle to grab is not easy.  It is like lifting a big slippery seal.  Are there any type of straps that you can put around the cylinder with grab handles?  Again, if this is a stupid question, I apologize in advance and hopefully I'm posting this on the correct part of the forumDean Young
