Tank Boss

FIRST Portable Oxygen Cylinder Lift

All units come with a Full Warranty!
The Tank Boss is an innovative solution for lifting and moving oxygen cylinders / tanks / bottles. Specifically designed to vertically raise tanks up to 27", it is ideal for loading tanks into ambulances. There is also a horizontal lift which raises to 44". These two separate lifts make it a breeze to transport, lift and load cylinders into EMS vehicles. This can also be used for gas cylinders or bottles depending on dimensions. This zero-lift device is simple and effective to use.

Durable & Reliable!

Don't be fooled by systems that are merely for helping load oxygen cylinders.
The Tank Boss will do the actual lifting for you!

Why lift when the BOSS can do it for you?

The only proven method for preventing back injuries is NOT to lift!

It will carry tank from storage area to ambulance	Does not help with moving cylinder from storage
Takes up zero space on ambulance	Takes up space and adds weight to one side of ambulance
Will not use any voltage from vehicle	Pulls amperage from electrical system of ambulance

There are two basic types of Tank Bosses
A vertical lift for cylinders stored upright in the ambulance and a horizontal lift for cylinders stored horizontally. The horizontal lift can be used to turn tank upright for storage on the ground.
