FUTUrE
A standard gas bottle cage net is now available, and variants can be produced including colours and the addition of customer branding or safety messages. Drallim are also able to offer customised solutions for end users’ particular situations.
SUmmAry

Multiple bottles may be held in overcrowded racks and bottles of differing sizes may be piled on shelves and not properly restrained so risking a collapse.
