Cylinders, safety & special gases in Worcester: local notes
Cellars, packhouses and food factories in the Worcester industrial area and around De Doorns run forklifts on LPG exchange, busiest in harvest season. Farm workshops near Wolseley rent oxygen and acetylene for repairs, kept upright and chained. Summer heat in the valley warms cylinders left in the sun, so ask for a shaded, ventilated, lockable cage.
Cooking, heating and working on gas in Worcester
Worcester is the centre of the Breede River valley, ringed by mountains that often carry snow in winter, with hot, dry summers and cold, frosty nights. Gas is used in town homes for cooking, geysers and heaters, and on the vineyards and fruit farms toward Rawsonville and the Hex River Valley for farmhouses, packsheds and worker housing. LPG comes in by road on the N1 from depots near Cape Town, to dealers, refill stations and hardware stores, with farm delivery on set days. Packhouses, cellars and food factories use forklift gas. In summer keep cylinders shaded and never in a hot bakkie cab, and in winter keep heaters in ventilated rooms.
Typical forklift gas requests in the area come from:
- 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
- Factories, warehouses and workshops: warehouses and factories with a cage of full cylinders and weekly swaps
