The present invention relates to the movement of a stabilized safety device for cylindrically shaped objects to reduce the possibility of cylindrically shaped tanks toppling over and possibly shearing off the tank's valve assembly. The stabilization mechanism generally comprises a cylindrically shaped barrel, having a first open end and a second open end and which is fitted with a plurality of stabilization outriggers. Each of the plurality of outriggers extends from the exterior surface of the barrel, radially outward away from the barrel. The inner diameter of the barrel is sufficient to accept a pressurized cylinder or tank. The stabilization mechanism further comprises one or more fixtures for cooperating with and receiving a counterpart fixture on a cart. The fixtures are securely fastened to various components of the stabilization mechanism at locations thereon which are accessible to the cart. The cart generally comprises a handle and wheel arrangement which may be suggestive of a warehouse (or appliance) hand truck or the like. The cart further comprises one or more fixtures which are disposed thereon at corresponding locations to the arrangement of the respective corresponding fixtures on the stabilization mechanism. In the event that a gas cylinder is to be moved from one location to another, an operator merely engages the cylinder cart to the stabilization mechanism via the coupling fixtures and tows the cylinder on the cart.
