Gas in Pinetown
Pinetown is a working town first, and much of its gas goes to factories, warehouses and food plants in New Germany, Westmead and Mahogany Ridge. Forklift cylinders are swapped from cages on site, welding and fabrication shops rent argon mixes and oxygen, and canteens and bakeries cook on 48 kg cylinders or a bulk tank. Up the hill in Kloof, Gillitts and Hillcrest, homes added gas hobs, geysers and heaters when load shedding bit, and the misty winter evenings on the ridges keep heater refills steady. LPG comes in by road along the M13 and N3 from coastal depots. Summer storms and heavy rain mean cylinders should stand on a raised, firm base away from drains.
Typical empty gas cylinders requests in the area come from:
- Factories, warehouses and workshops: owned cylinders for canteen cooking, heating and small burners on site
- Homeowners: a second empty 9 kg so one is full while the other goes for refilling
- Restaurants, takeaways and bakeries: spare owned cylinders so a food truck or takeaway is never caught empty
