You mostly see that size in welding shops and on construction sites, where
they use a seriious amount of gas. I gave away a set recently (they were
given to me by someone who got them the same way) because I didn't want to
pay for testing (they were out of date) and I didn't want to have to horse
them around all the time. I saved one to use for nitrogen - maybe - some
day.
You lift them by hand unless you have some easier way to lift them. Eat
your Wheaties ;-)
And when you do move them, make sure to put the caps on. A cylinder with
the valve snapped off (it's not that hard to do) can take off like a
torpedo, and the valve goes the other way like a large piece of schrapnel.
It can ruin a few peoples' day.
