Developed initially for use in forklift trucks, and made from toughened plastic and fibre glass, the Gaslight cylinders are said to be almost half the weight of traditional LPG cylinders and to be more robust and able to sustain greater pressures. In addition, their translucent appearance allows effective fuel visibility, so operators know exactly when to refill them.

Ergonomically designed, and with a combined gas and cylinder weight of just 20kg, the Hexagon Ragasco manufactured cylinders fall well within the European Manual Handling Operations Regulations, which prohibit operators lifting anything over 25kg above elbow height. The cylinder’s design also offers ease of transportation and storage, and the cylinders don’t rust.

Commenting on the launch, head of cylinder sales at Flogas, Mark Whittaker said: "We have already seen huge successes with the Gaslight cylinders in the domestic market, and so it was a natural step to roll the cylinders out to the commercial market, particularly within the logistics industry where manual handling is such a hot topic.

“The expansion of our range to include the commercial Gaslight cylinders fits our strategy of being an innovative energy provider at the forefront of new technology."
