The bottles are unloaded by unloading a model of the cartridge from a platform body (176) of a vehicle (83). A lateral bar (24) of the cartridge oriented parallel to rows is moved from a bottles peripheral closing position to a bottles releasing position. Independent claims are also included for the following: (A) a cartridge (B) a cross-bar (C) a rack for storing and transporting liquefied petroleum gas bottles (D) a display case for implementing a method of distributing liquefied petroleum gas bottles.
