Tank Boss, portable oxygen cylinder lift
The Tank Boss, portable O2 lift, designed and manufactured by iTec Mfg, is now being used in 38 states and in Canada. It was created to help prevent back injuries when loading cylinders into vehicles.
“Half of the EMS workers in the US will suffer back pain every year.” -(Mitterrer D., Back Injuries in EMS. EMS Magazine, Mr. 1999.)
“The only way to eliminate back injuries that result from lifting, is to eliminate the lifting,” said designer and owner Michael Wilson.
The Tank Boss allows EMT’s to lift the cylinder with the touch of a button. It also aids in transporting tanks from storage areas to vehicles, thus reducing the need to carry or roll the tank.
