Abstract: This invention relates to a gas tank-handling device, a method of handling a gas tank and a forklift truck having such a gas tank-handling device. Heretofore, forklift trucks have been deemed unsuitable for handling gas tanks due to high risk of damage to the gas tank or the forklift truck. Accordingly, placement of gas tanks typically requires the use of a truck loader crane to position the gas tank. This limits where the tank could be positioned on site. The present invention provides a device that enables a forklift to be used to move the gas tank. The device comprises a pair of tines mounted on and moveable laterally relative to a mounting frame and stubs mounted on the side face of the tines for engagement of the legs of the gas tank. The device will allow the gas tank to be held securely in place on the forks.
