What to know locally in Randfontein
Engineering shops in Aureus and near the old mine workings along Main Reef Road rent argon, CO2 and oxygen and acetylene sets on monthly rental, chained upright in the workshop. Farms around Middelvlei and Venterspos ask for lockable cages and chains for cylinders at the poultry houses. Houses in Greenhills call out a gas practitioner when a regulator or hose bought cheaply during load shedding starts to leak.
Cooking, heating and working on gas in Randfontein
Randfontein grew around gold mining, and gas still follows that pattern: mines and engineering workshops buy welding and cutting gases, while households in Greenhills, Randgate and Homelake cook on gas and keep a heater for winter. LPG comes by road from depots around Johannesburg to dealers and refill stations in town and along Main Reef Road. In Mohlakeng and Toekomsrus a 9 kg exchange is how most families buy gas. Smallholdings and poultry farms west of town use gas brooders in chicken houses and 48 kg cylinders at the farmhouse. Farm deliveries take planning, and cylinders on open plots need a lockable cage.
Who asks for forklift gas around Randfontein, most often first:
- Factories, warehouses and workshops: warehouses and factories with a cage of full cylinders and weekly swaps
- Homeowners: rare at home, though some smallholdings keep an old LPG forklift for the shed
- Farms and smallholdings: pack houses and grain stores running LPG forklifts through harvest season
