Abstract
A cart is provided for safely transporting and storing a single, large, vertically-oriented, cylindrically-shaped canister having a horizontally-oriented base. The vertical and horizontal orientations of the canister and its base, respectively, are constantly maintained throughout the transporting and storing of the canister. The cart includes a stable base. The stable base includes a bottom platform and four wheels operatively connected to the stable base and configured to support the weight of the canister. The stable base is configured to receive and support the horizontally-oriented base of the canister. The cart further includes two side rails extending upwardly from the stable base. A circumferential band is removably attached to the side rails and is configured to encircle and secure from movement the canister, within the cart. The band is at an elevation above the horizontally-oriented base of the canister.
