A tank handling apparatus for facilitating movement of cylindrical tanks such as oxygen tanks as needed which includes a carriage assembly with a main upright member and a parallel swing arm assembly extending outwardly therefrom with multiple lifting arms with a tank retaining housing movably secured thereto which defines a zone therein for receiving of the cylindrical tank. The apparatus provides movement capability vertically upwardly and outwardly, as well as rotational movement of the tank retaining housing to facilitate changing orientation of the position of a different tank between a horizontally extending position and a vertically extending position. An automatic locking mechanism is included which is gravitationally powered for facilitating deployment of a foot support member beneath the tank receiving zone in all positions other than when the held tank is horizontally positioned.
