Clarification request(s) and response
Gela54: 2:05pm Jun 4, 2006: Wäre "Container" vielleicht auch eine Möglichkeit? Ich denke, es handelt sich um eine stationäre Anlage (ich kann mir auch nicht vorstellen, dass ein Arbeiter 800 kg nur mit einer Karre vom Platz bewegt).

Anhänger, Karre
Explanation:
Depends on whether they are designed to be pulled by a vehicle i.e. fitted with a tow-hook, or by a welder and just fitted with a handle. Just a platform trolley in the one case, or a proper trailer in the other, designed for transporting acetylene around from one welding site to another.

Have a look at P.2, para. 3.3.5 for a definition of this:

Looks like they are towed by a vehicle, therefore an "Anhänger"...

I doubt that they would describe it as a "trailer" if it were stationary.

Acetylen-Batteriefahrzeug (Trailer)

Explanation:
Auf Batteriefahrzeugen (Trailer) ist eine größere Anzahl von Flaschen fest montiert.

Acetylen (C2H2)

Acetylen ist ein farbloses Brenngas, das in der Glasindustrie z. B. zum Formenschmieren eingesetzt wird, da es sich in einem weiten Druck- und Temperaturbereich leicht zersetzt.
