Cylinder Cage Manufacturer in Saudi Arabia
A Cylinder Cage is a steel storage and transport unit designed to hold gas cylinders securely upright, keeping them organized, protected from impact, and safely restrained during storage, crane lifting, or forklift handling on industrial and construction sites.
Century Experts fabricates Cylinder Cages from high-quality structural steel, welded by qualified personnel using approved fabrication procedures. Each cage is designed with individual cylinder compartments or restraint bars to prevent cylinders from tipping, rolling, or contacting each other, addressing a key safety concern when handling compressed gas cylinders such as oxygen, acetylene, and industrial gases.
We manufacture both standard and custom-built Cylinder Cages in various capacities and compartment configurations to suit different cylinder sizes and site storage requirements. Engineering calculations, inspection, proof load testing, and third-party certification can be provided upon request.
We proudly supply Cylinder Cages throughout Riyadh, Jeddah, Dammam, Jubail, Al Khobar, Yanbu, Makkah, Madinah, Qassim, Al Kharj, NEOM, and across Saudi Arabia.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
1. What is a Cylinder Cage?
A Cylinder Cage is a steel frame designed to hold compressed gas cylinders securely upright, using individual compartments or restraint bars to prevent them from tipping, rolling, or striking each other during storage, transport, or crane lifting.
2. How many cylinders can a Cylinder Cage hold?
Capacity depends on the cage size and cylinder diameter, with common configurations holding anywhere from a handful of cylinders up to larger multi-cylinder units for bulk storage or distribution points, and custom layouts can be designed for specific cylinder counts.
3. Can different gas types be segregated within the same cage?
Yes. We can design cages with separated compartments or dividers to keep different gas types, or full and empty cylinders, physically separated in line with site storage and safety procedures.
4. Are cylinders restrained individually, or just contained within the cage walls?
Most designs include individual restraint points such as chains or straps for each cylinder position, in addition to the surrounding cage frame, since cylinders can still shift or tip within an open compartment if not individually secured.
5. Can the cage be lifted by crane as well as moved by forklift?
Yes. Our Cylinder Cages typically include both engineered lifting lugs for crane use and forklift pockets for ground handling, allowing the same cage to be used with either method depending on what’s available on site.
6. Is the cage suitable for both full and empty cylinder storage?
Yes. Cages can be used for both, and where site procedures require it, we can incorporate separate marked sections or cages specifically for full and empty cylinders to support proper stock rotation and safety practices.
7. What standards does your Cylinder Cage comply with?
Our Cylinder Cages can be designed and manufactured in accordance with OSHA 29 CFR 1910.101, CGA Pamphlet P-1, ASME B30.20 (for crane-lifted units), and project-specific client requirements.
8. Is testing and certification available for the Cylinder Cage?
Yes. We provide proof load testing for crane-rated units, third-party inspection, and a Certificate of Conformity upon request, along with an identification plate showing capacity and serial number.
9. Can the cage be customized for our cylinder sizes and site layout?
Yes. We fabricate Cylinder Cages to custom compartment count, cylinder size, restraint type, and finish, based on the gas cylinders and storage arrangement used at your facility.
