Car component plants and warehouses in Rosslyn and Waltloo run LPG forklifts and keep an exchange cage of full cylinders on site.

Pretoria: the supply, the weather and the buildings
Pretoria's LPG comes by road to depots and dealers around Pretoria West, Rosslyn and Silverton, and from there to refill stations, hardware stores and delivery services across the city. Students in Hatfield and Sunnyside cook on two plate gas cookers with a 5 kg or 9 kg cylinder, while families in Waterkloof, Brooklyn and Lynnwood run gas hobs, braais and tankless geysers. Winter mornings in the east of the city are frosty and gas heaters come out in June, so ventilation matters. Factories in Rosslyn run LPG forklifts. Older houses in Arcadia and Muckleneuk often have a wood fireplace that owners want to convert to gas, which is an installation that needs a CoC.
The requests we see from Pretoria usually come from:
- Homeowners: rare at home, though some smallholdings keep an old LPG forklift for the shed
- Restaurants, takeaways and bakeries: cold store and food distribution sites with LPG forklifts on outside docks
- Factories, warehouses and workshops: warehouses and factories with a cage of full cylinders and weekly swaps
