Transporting Cylinders

Information on moving and transporting cylinders

Transporting Cylinders

If you or your organisation wishes to transport cylinders or bundles on the road, ensure that you and all relevant parties (for example, your drivers) understand their legal obligations. Cylinders and bundles that are transported for the purposes of work, (with a few very minor exceptions) must be transported in accordance with CDG/ADR legislation. For further details, refer to BCGA TIS8 Information for Customers Collecting Gas Cylinders and BCGA GN27 Guidance for the Carriage of Gas Cylinders on Vehicles.

If you wish to transport only very small quantities of cylinders, refer to BCGA Leaflet L1 The Carriage of Small Quantities of Gas Cylinders.
