Handling the Container
The XL Series containers are very rugged liquid cylinders. All cryogenic liquid containers
have an inner container and an outer container with an insulated vacuum space between
them. Any abuse (dents, dropping, tip-over, etc.) can affect the integrity of the containers
insulation system.
When fully loaded, the XL-65HP in argon service will contain up to 614 lb. (279 kg) of
product. While moving a full container, you may be handling up to 1149 lb. (521 kg), and
you should treat the load accordingly. The attachment points provided on the XL65 and
the XL65HP will allow you to use a hoist to handle these loads properly. Do not attempt to
move these cylinders by any other means. When moving the cylinder, the following pre-
cautions should be observed:
!
Never lay the container on its side. Always ship, operate, and then store the unit in a
vertical, or upright, position.
!
When loading or unloading the container from a truck, use a lift gate, crane or parallel
loading dock. Never attempt to manually life the unit.
!
To move the container over rough surfaces, or to lift the container, attach an appropri-
ate sling to the lifting points cut into the welded supports posts, and use a portable
lifting device that will handle the weight of the container and its contents.
!
Never pull a cylinder downhill; this may cause the handler to lose control of the con-
tainer and possibly cause personal injury.
FREIGHT DAMAGE
PRECAUTIONS
ANY FREIGHT DAMAGE
CLAIMS ARE YOUR
RESPONSIBILITY. Cryogenic
liquid containers are delivered to
your carrier from Taylor-Wharton’s
dock in new condition. When you
receive our product you may
expect it to be in that same
condition. For your own
protection, take time to visually
inspect each shipment in the
presence of the carrier’s agent
before you accept delivery. If any
damage is observed, make an
appropriate notation on the freight
bill. Then ask the driver to sign
the notation before you receive
the equipment. You should
decline to accept containers that
show damage which may affect
serviceability.
