Hello AMMRLers,
Several months ago, I requested a source for a dolly for 160/180 L liq. N2
dewar. A couple of responses recommended Harper Trucks in Wichita.
However, their carts did not fit the small footprint needed to move the
dewar to another floor via a small handicap elevator. After much
searching, Wright Brothers, a cryogen supplier in Cincinnati, found a
handling carriage made by CHART industries that fit the bill. It is
approx. 23" wide by 40" long with 3 10" diam. wheels and a handle. You can
see this unit at www.chartparts.com by entering the part number 9711449 in
the search box. We find that it maneuvers much easier than the Harper hand
truck we have and much safer than our dolly with small casters.
However, the price was $747 plus shipping. It may be cheaper if you can
get it direct from CHART. The other drawback which may scare some of you
is that it is NOT non-magnetic. We have found no tendency to move towards
our magnets, non-shielded 200 & 300 and a shielded 500WB. Just keep it
outside the 5 gauss line.
Thanks to those that responded.
