The present invention involves a device for holding and transporting a gas cylinder. The device, a hand truck, has an arm portion having a lip portion mounted thereon. The device also has at least one stabilizing peg mounted to the lip portion with two wheels mounted to the lip portion. The at least one stabilizing peg is sized and configured to engage the stabilizing ring of the gas cylinder placed on the lip portion. Optionally, a hook may be attached to the arm portion such that the hook may engage the gas cylinder. The arm portion may further comprise a handle portion pivotable between a raised position and a collapsed position. The handle portion is lockable in the raised position and the lowered position. The arm portion further comprises a cradle portion sized and configured to engage and stabilize the gas cylinder. The gas cylinder, having a stabilizing ring, may be tilted forward, and the hand truck may then be positioned to engage the cylinder. The gas cylinder may then be tilted back so that the stabilizing ring rests on the lip portion of the hand truck and is engaged by the at least one stabilizing peg. This allows for the tilting of the hand truck and cylinder backward so that the hand truck and cylinder may be wheeled freely.
