For customers who are not quite ready for a micro-bulk, our 12 and 16-pack options bridge the gap for increased demand.    ![Ratermann Cylinder Cradles](https://lh7-us.googleusercontent.com/LzYnATg7BDNsnU_tEMG-LX6HNoTXCr3Ly70KcDEFh1-tCLAg38sXiX09MHArPhWienAt_ICqZw0_6D5v6M16_RdRteMCRPwIDweV14SLCQAntVsiRpdPTNZl_OjMVJ5OVmfUuZ5NvDQotNQIYfv-ZDI) ## Quality construction for longevity Ratermann’s cylinder cradles are powder-coated with a variety of color options to match your company’s branding. (Galvanized options are also available.) In addition, you can request a custom cutout of your company name for quick identification on customer sites. A seven-gauge steel top provides top-notch protection as well as a strong lift point you can trust.  Cradles can withstand any weather, thanks to a bottom drain that prevents standing water from damaging the bottom of cylinders as well as the cradle itself. In-line casters are an optional add-on that allow for a full 360-degree swivel. Available models include a six-pack forklift style, low-profile, and available rigid or flexible pigtails. We also offer custom replacement manifolds, also with a selection of rigid or flexible pigtails and suitable for a variety of gasses from argon and CO2 to nitrogen, oxygen and other special gasses. ## 10-year inspection exemption Due to the high-quality construction and design of these cradles, you can apply for a 10-year inspection exemption ([DOT-SP 14175](https://www.rmiorder.com/product/SE/lbl-ex-dot-sp14175-l-pk10/Large-Exemption-Labels-DOT-SP-14175-Pack-of-10)), which is a huge benefit. All cradles ship fully assembled and stamped with a serial number. Additionally, cradles have been designed with open sight to the cylinder bottoms for five and 10 year inspections. **Key Features:** - Durable powder coated paint - Galvanization options - Drains to protect cradle bottoms and withstand any weather - Seven-guage steel top for protection and strong lift point - Optional six inline castor design for 360-degree swivel - 6, 12, or 16 packs - Forklift and low-profile designs - Replacement manifolds for six and 12 cylinder racks [Shop Cylinder Cradles and Manifolds](https://www.rmiorder.com/category/ZT-CRAD/cylinder-cradles---6-or-12-pack)   ### Have a question about cylinder cradles or manifolds?
