Abstract: A carrier for transporting a pressurized cylinder includes a container of box-like proportions for accommodating the pressurized cylinder therein, wherein the container includes a top portion having an opening therein, a bottom portion, and a plurality of side portions. The container may receive the cylinder with a friction fit. A plurality of side flaps may be pivotally connected to the container to partially cover the opening. Wheels and a telescoping handle may also be attached to the container. A lid with cutouts to receive the side flaps may be included, and a stabilizer may be positioned on the bottom portion to engage the base of the cylinder.
