Red Dragon CD-100 Propane Cylinder Dolly, Steel, One Pack

I got this dolly to go with the company's VT 2-23 SVC torch (the one with the squeeze valve to switch between pilot and high output). This is very easy to assemble and appears well-made and sturdy. I use it with a 20 lb propane tank. The company indicates it is also suitable for a 40 lb tank. That is probably pushing it. 40 lb would probably be fine for a smooth surface, but possibly not for an uneven area.Some reviewers have complained about the wheels. This has 7" non-pneumatic wheels with a 1/2" axle. My wheels have ball bearings which can be oiled from the side. Some reviewers complained about squeaky wheels and the wheels only having a sleeve bearing. Perhaps this has changed or maybe some of reviewers do not recognize a ball bearing wheel as it can look like only a sleeve. If the bearings are not oiled, they will squeak, particularly if they have been allowed to rust.These are modest plastic tire wheels with metal hubs. For very uneven terrain, I can see someone might want to swap these for wider and larger diameter pneumatic wheels. That could require some modification of the axle to allow for a wider wheel, but it should be doable by changing the inner wheel stop (a new axle should not be required). Some reviewers complained about the push-on retainer cap on the end of the axle to keep the wheel on. I don't like these if they are cheap and weak, but this seems fairly heavy duty. I think it will stay in place, but if it loosens, I would drill the end of the axle and use either a hitch pin or cotter pin.The one complaint I agree with is the less than robust plastic strap and buckle used to secure the tank to the dolly. It is probably adequate for a 20 lb. tank, particularly if it is used only on smooth ground, but certainly not for a taller 40 lb. tank. I added a very heavy duty bungee tie down cord and looped it around the vertical handles of the dolly and hooked the cord to the handles on the propane tank. By have a cord high on the tank, it greatly reduced tank wobble.But other than this minor shortcoming, I would give this dolly high marks for strength and ease of use. The torch holder is also very handy. I may add something that allows storage of the flint striker used to light the torch.

Great cart, well built , secures propane bottle well and gets the job done. Just keep an eye on how you pull it around behind you make sure you are not running over your hose. I did a couple of times as I got ahead of myself and got in a hurry and I realized real quick that could be a big mistake. Take time to move your tank near enough to do the work yet as far back as you can get it to stay safe. It is better to move the tank more often than to try get ahead of yourself and start running over that hose. This cart has a bracket to hold the torch once it is fully extinguished and cooled down. I put the flint striker on it then the torch so everything I need all stays together on one cart.

This works great and pairs well with a propane weed torch. It's fairly well built, if a little wobbly at times. The belt that holds the tank in could be designed better, never really gets tight enough. The wheels do squeak a bit as some review here mentions but that's hardly a big deal. It works well and I'm happy with it but I do see how it could all be slightly better engineered with a bit more quality, bigger wheels (ideally with bushing or bearings of some sort), and better belt to hold the tank in. Not quit 5 stars, 4 might be too harsh, so I'd really say 4.5 but that's not an option so 4 it is.

I use propane torches to ignite charcoal and wood in my grills. When I went to get some new 1 lb bottles of propane, I found out that they are still on backorder from the brutal TX cold snap. I improvised by using a 5 lb tank and an adapter hose. This works fine but the full tank is a little difficult to maneuver around the patio. This dolly works great. I can roll the tank near the grill, get the fire going and then roll it out of the way.

I haven't used it yet for the intended purpose, but I've assembled it in anticipation of spring, and I'm very happy with it. I'm a lady in her late 50's, and it wasn't difficult to assemble. I don't have axle grease, so I used vasoline, and it worked fine. This is essentially a small, one-handed hand truck with a long tongue, so I've also found an alternate use for it. I tried it out for moving medium size planters and it worked. I have a rubbermaid garbage can mover for the really big planters, but I tried out this dolly on an XXL terracotta pot, and it worked great. Rolls along nicely. I think it will be perfect for its intended use of carting around propane tanks.
