As you may know, you're supposed to transport these tanks upright, so that will be the challenge to make the load stable and not top-heavy.
I'm even toying with the idea of making a custom cart using traditional joinery instead of welding.
As you probably know, hauling these tanks on a bicycle trailer can be unwieldy, and seem top heavy. If you're going to haul more than one at a time, perhaps you might consider using a semi wide wheel base, not as wide as a cars, but not far under that either. Good tires will be a must, as you wouldn't want any mishaps with those tanks onboard.
Having a forge intrigues me, do you mind if I ask what you make? When I hear the word forge, my mind goes straight to bades of some sort.
