Fixing something heavy to a wall is not something I'd leave to
anyone,
unless I was certain they knew how to do such a job.


A fire extinguisher is not exactly heavy.

That applies to all of them?


Any extinguisher that weighs too much for a person to lift is pretty
useless.

I have seen in films, larger ones on trolleys, that can be moved to
where needed, but not carried.


I'm guessing that they aren't wall mounted prior to being manhandled
onto the trolley.

Not wall mounted and not manhandled. I was thinking of old B&W films
with wartime aerodromes and the like. After I'd posted, I remembered
that I'd also seen similar at a company I used to work for in the '90s -
for when they were welding with portable sets in areas with a lot of oil
around.

Ah. That wasn't the mental image I had from your post.
