It is filled to a pressure of up to 300 bar which provides higher capacity than existing G sized cylinders.
The increased cylinder capacity will reduce your storage requirements and cylinder changeover frequency. This means less down time and better cost efficiencies for you.
The in-built regulator eliminates the hassle of acquiring, fitting and maintaining a separate regulator.
Works with your existing hoses and connections (Provided they meet the requirements of the relevant Australian Standards).

Our new trolley helps you safely handle the G3 VIPR cylinder.
Our new cylinder’s innovative design allows it to be filled up to a pressure of 300 bar, which provides a significant advantage with almost 70% more gas in your cylinder. This increase in gas capacity comes with a corresponding increase in cylinder weight. In order to maintain good manual handling technique, it is necessary to use appropriate manual handling devices to move G3 cylinders. Never attempt to manually lift the cylinder or to lift using the guard. BOC has designed a trolley specifically for the G3 cylinder. The trolley is ideal for moving the G3 VIPR over smooth ground, and moving the cylinder on and off pallets.
Please refer to the G3 VIPR brochure for instructions on how to use the G3 cylinder trolley.
