We use nitrogen bottles at work mounted on mobile carts. No real risk of tipping, and they do not have cages on them.

I've got a pair sitting on the bench waiting to replace one that failed, but I haven't had time yet....

Good to know - I guess I was being a little over cautious.

I always try to get the opinion of at least two people on the internet before making important safety decisions!

That company has since gone out of business. I bought up a chunk of their remaining stock!
