Posted by SteveB on March 1, 2008, 12:07 am Please log in for more thread options What does a full O2 bottle weigh? One that is 48" tall at the neck. I lifted one today up to my 38" high tailgate by myself. I weigh about 180. Just wondering.

It got harder as the day went on. 6' to the top of the cap. I think I left a testicle behind, on the last lift.

You lean it over and center it on your knee in a somewhat kneeling position. Then press down on the valve end, making the butt end go up. BTW, you have your left hand on the butt end. You put the butt on the tailgate, then lift up on the other end. Still, no small feat for a 60 year old OF with a sternum held together with Super Glue and stainless steel wire..
