Cylinders, safety & special gases in Richards Bay: local notes
Workshops in Alton and Alton North rent argon mixes, CO2, oxygen and acetylene on monthly contracts, and shutdown contractors often need extra cylinders at short notice. Forklift gas is swapped on site at harbour warehouses. Salt air near the port and in Meerensee rusts cages and padlocks, so ask for a coated cage with drainage and keep acetylene upright and chained.
Richards Bay: the supply, the weather and the buildings
Richards Bay is a port and heavy industry town, and much of its gas goes to the smelters, bulk terminals, workshops and contractors around Alton and the harbour. Forklift cylinders, welding gas and cutting gas are in steady demand from engineering shops and shutdown crews. LPG reaches the town by road along the N2 and through the port area, and is sold by dealers, refill stations and hardware stores, with delivery into Meerensee, Arboretum and Birdswood. Homes cook and heat water with gas, and holiday houses near the lagoon run braais and patio heaters. The hot, humid coast is hard on steel: cylinders and cages rust, so keep them shaded and raised.
Typical forklift gas requests in the area come from:
- Factories, warehouses and workshops: warehouses and factories with a cage of full cylinders and weekly swaps
- Gas installers, plumbers and dealers: forklift hire and service companies arranging gas for the trucks they rent out
- Homeowners: rare at home, though some smallholdings keep an old LPG forklift for the shed
