This is for the 397 CF acetylene tank that is very heavy.

The delivered price is the same as the pick up and hang around while the
folks answer the phone price. At least here. you can lean the tank over
somewhat and roll it, you can lay it down and put hooks of a nylon tie down
(like I use for a dirt bike in the pick up) in the holes in the cap or just
loop onto the cap somehow, and drag it along the ground and up a ramp into
the truck bed if you put on a lifting belt and really want to or if you get
an assistant. Once you get to the welding shop they will have a loading
dock like 53 inches off the ground and don't count on the employees getting
the tank up from your truck bed for you.

Lifting by the cap is dangerous. The cap can deform, making it hard to get
off. It can just pop off, as the threads are not always the greatest, and
can be corroded. A couple of nylon slings in a basket arrangement with a
spreader bar would be far better. I once saw a man lose two front teeth by
pulling on a cap. It "looked" like it was on there.
Make a better hoisting device. That one is dangerous. It may hold, but the
weak point is the cap.....

Do you have any data to support this? Frankly I just can't see it.
Comparing the strength of a cylinder cap to the weight of even the big
cylinders is off the chart.
